CadMouse modifier keys question

[lceman]

I'm trying to add the shift+cntrl+right click function to a button on cadmouse and can't figure out how. I tried playing around with the macros and the xml files but cant find the proper syntax or order of commands. Hard to imagine this could be so hard...

I don't think there is a way to do this in the GUI.

You can either create a MotionMacro to send all these keys (presses and releases) together in a stream, or assign the Shift+Ctrl as modifiers on the RMB.
I assume you want to do the latter. That is, hold down shift & ctrl & RMB, then move the CADMouse, then release all these keys.
This seems like a good operation to assign to the MMB.

To do this, you need to define a Macro and manually add it to the Visio cfg file. Since we don't ship a Visio cfg file, you will only have a derived file in your %appdata% dir. Edit that.
Add these lines above your <Devices> section:

Code: Select all

  <MacroTable>
    <MacroEntry>
      <ID>PanDrag Mode</ID>
      <KeyStroke>
        <Modifiers>
          <Modifier>Control</Modifier>
          <Modifier>Shift</Modifier>
        </Modifiers>
        <MouseButton>Right</MouseButton>
      </KeyStroke>
    </MacroEntry>
  </MacroTable>
  

Then you will have a PanDrag Mode entry under Macros in our GUI. You can assign that to, e.g., your MMB.

I don't have Visio to test this. Let me know if it works for you.
