Alternative Pan/Move/Zoom mouse keys

PostThu Jan 29, 2015 4:15 pm

Hi !

Is there any way to assign different mouse clicks to Pan/Zoom/Move in Fusion ?

I'm usually using a Wacom tablet with a Magic Mouse through Bootcamp or Parallels and having multiple mouse clicks activated at the same time with them is a chore to set up, everything is working, but I was just wondering if there was a native way of doing it.

Thank you !

Past answer was "no" for various reasons.

However try setting the middle mouse instead of double click to your stylus.
Now Middle-Mouse-Hold and Tip-Clip while panning the Stylus left to right. This Zooms.
Leave the tip-click out and you have a pan.

Once you get used to it ... it flies :-)

I usually set one of the stylus buttons to middle mouse for this reason. I can zoom and pan easily with the stylus that way with no hot key required. Seems suitable. But I would also like to second the request that mouse wheel should zoom. Its a standard everywhere. and sometimes i don't have my stylus on all machines... so an alternative of scroll-wheeling to zoom, like in generations ;), would be a nice accommodation for future versions.

Ha. That is not the same thing. Sometimes you just want to use one hand while you are comping.

Using a mouse, with the mouse buttons alone, LMB+MMB zooms, MMB alone pans and MMB+RMB orbits the scene. That must still be applicable on a Wacom pen - friggin years since I used one myself.
