[solved] Middle Mouse to Pan instead of incremental Zoom?

[artisanicview]

I do want to change the behavior of the MiddleMouseButton (MMB) from incremental zoom to a Pan operation and I can't find a way to do so. It is possible to add this functionality in Qcad, because it is more useful (at least for me). The zoom I can do with the mouse wheel, so it is pointless to have another zoom option for the MMB. I do need often to pan my drawings. Best regards.

Hi,
I would simply use 'Pan Zoom' (ZP)
Then you can pan with holding down the left mouse button and zoom with the wheel ...

You could also push on the mouse wheel and hold what is is in fact the middle mouse button.

There is also something called 'Pan gesture', see App.Prefs .. Graphics View .. Navigation
But I never enabled that.

Would be nice to have this 'Pan Zoom' for the MMB without the need to type shortcuts.

I activated that option but no difference. I think that option it is intended for trackpads.

Meaning that your mouse wheel is not a button on its own ...?
My mouse wheel needs some convincing, but if I press hard enough I can freely pan and incremental zoom at the same time.

artisanicview: The middle mouse button is indeed used for panning in QCAD:

- Press and hold the middle mouse button
- Move the mouse to pan
- Release the middle mouse button

The middle mouse button is indeed used for panning in QCAD:

For me it is not working that way. Any time I press the MMB, even pressing, holding and moving the mouse, it is doing a Zoom Increment action. How I can change MMB to do a Pan operation?

I do have a Logitech mouse and I just checked on Logitech Options software. There the MMB it is associated to a MMB action.

Are you sure that you cannot use the mouse wheel as "normal" middle mouse button?

If panning does not work as described above, it would indicate that QCAD does not get a middle mouse button press / release signal from the mouse or driver.

It could also be that this "Advanced Click" might simply trigger a click (press / release) without the possibility to hold down the button at all.

Ok, found the solution by switching the option to use "Middle button". Sorry for the wasted time and tank you for assistance.
