Cadmouse pro Revit Orbit

[calem91]

Is there a trick to make the middle mouse button on the cadmouse pro do the orbiting in revit without holding the shift key?

I have tried setting up a macro however having no luck.
I am running Revit 2023 and 3Dxware 10.8.12

I don't have Revit to try it, but this sould send a Shift+MMB.

Code: Select all

  <MacroTable>
    <MacroEntry>
      <ID>Shift+MMB</ID>
      <KeyStroke>
        <Modifiers>
          <Modifier>Shift</Modifier>
        </Modifiers>
        <MouseButton>Middle</MouseButton>
      </KeyStroke>
    </MacroEntry>
  </MacroTable>

Add it to your %appdata%\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg\Revit.xml file (put it following the AppInfo section). If you don't have one of those, use our GUI (3DxSmartUI) to make some change to Revit--it will write the file for you.

If you already have a <MacroTable> section, add the <MacroEntry> to that section instead of adding the entire element above.
Once you have that, you can assign the macro to your CMP MMB in our GUI.

Let us know if it works.
Maybe we will add it to the default cfg. I recall someone suggesting this before.

Post back if you need help editing the XML file.

Thanks heaps! Seems to work perfectly.
I will post back if I encounter any issues.
