Scroll wheel with Eagle 6 on Mac

e14 Contributor

Hi,

 

I've just upgraded to Eagle 6 (I'm looking forward to  indexing the XML format files for my search engine!) - however, I can't  get the scroll wheel to work.

 

It's enabled in the options (User Interface -> Mouse wheel zoom = 1.2), but it does absolutely nothing.

 

If I load Eagle 5.11, it works fine.

 

Note that setting the zoom to 0 doesn't allow me to scroll around either.

 

This happens with both of my mice (wired and wireless mighty mouse).

 

Any ideas?

 

BTW, I'm glad the bug where my ULPs to set the print zoom, mirror, black and so forth has been fixed since 5.11 - although I still can't use the Cmd-<n> keys to switch between the windows.

  • Can someone clarify the Magic Mouse gesture behavior in v6.0? I couldn't find it in the help documentation. I really like how you pan using the touch surface, but I haven't been able to figure out how to zoom. I've tried holding the Command key while using a single finger up/down motion and also a two finger up/down gesture, but neither worked. Is it no longer possible to zoom without clicking on the zoom button or using F3? Mind you, I don't want to revert back to the old behavior, as I really prefer being able to pan using the mouse surface, I'd just like to be able to zoom somehow too.

    I am not sure how this is considered an acceptable release for V6.0. Without zoom functionality it is totally useless. How could this have been tested on an OS X machine and passed?

    I also had problems with this, and the beta mentioned works fine (switches between old=works method and new=doesn't method). However, I'd like to update with new info for Klaus.

     

    Klaus: I finally got around to testing this at work where I HAVE a magic trackpad (external) and it still doesn't work as intended. Two finger swipes on the external multitouch trackpad behave in exactly the same way as two finger swipes on the built-in non-multiouch trackpad (which is, they scroll left/right when the view is zoomed in enough that it doesn't all fit on one screen).

     

    EGAD: Pardon me, just a case of user error. I'm not used to pan/zoom enough. Zoom does work, and pan works once zoomed in enough.

     

    So obviously, the only thing missing from the normal non-multitouch trackpad is zoom. So the switch, as implemented in the beta, is perfect.

    The only way that I found to use zooming and panning simultaneously with the magic mouse in OSX is to activate the "Legacy mouse mode" in the Eaglecad 6.1.0 prefs and also install this app http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2097#p20115 called "Mouse Assistant" which let you the possibility to press shift key and clicking mouse to do panning simulating the "middle click" in OSX. Is also usefull for me with other apps like Sketchup.
    I hope it helps

    I know it was fixed in 6.0.2 beta, but just in case anyone didn't try it, it's fixed in 6.1.0 (which has just been made available).
