UI - Mouse wheel middle click zooms and pans

helloworld922

I'm having some trouble with panning the UI. The issue is that whenever I click the middle button to pan, it also zooms in. If I hold the middle button down steady, it will continue to zoom in. This makes navigating through a schematic a huge pain. The only way I found to get around this is to change the mouse wheel zoom to 1 or 0, however both of these options eliminate zooming by scrolling the mouse wheel. I have the default 6.2.0 install for Windows.

 

Is there a way I can fix this so that I can pan with the middle button without the annoying zoom in and still be able to zoom by scrolling the mouse wheel?

    I have the same problem. But I also checked this with eagle5.

    eagle5 ignores if I tilt the wheel itself, so I can pan by pressing the

    wheel, and zoom by turning the wheel. the tilt is just ignored.

     

    Is there a setting where we can make eagle ignore this tilit?

    Hi Marc,

     

    I hope you are doing well. You have to disable it in your OS's mouse

    properties. EAGLE uses whatever the OS will give it.

    I think you are misssing that this behavior is new in V6.  No mouse settings were changed during the upgrade.

     

    There are no settings, at least in the control panel of Windows 7, that will affect this.

     

    In Eagle, setting the mouse wheel zoom to 0 allows the mouse to work normally - that is, spinning the wheel scrolls vertically, while pressing the wheel side to side does horizontal scrolling, but there is no zooming capability with this setting.  However, holding the wheel button down now causes the display to scroll from side to side while simultaneously panning.

     

    Setting the mouse wheel zoom to 1 eliminates all scrolling with the wheel, but panning works correctly.

     

    Setting the mouse wheel to the default 1.2 brings back the behavior of zooming when the wheel is held down (or pushed side to side).

     

    A lot of folks seem to be reporting the same problem.  It is Eagle V6 related, NOT an OS issue. 

     

    Thanks

    Hi Bruce,

     

    This is not entirely correct Bruce. V5 did not have any provisions to

    accept side to side input on a scroll wheel. The updated libraries that

    were used to compile V6 can accept this input and do something with it,

    but again it just taking what the OS will give it. Had V5 had support

    for the side-side tilt we would've started running into this in V5.

     

    The Mouse wheel zoom is simply a factor that control how much a turn of

    the scroll wheel zooms into the design. A value of zero disables the

    zooming functionality by turning the scroll wheel, so I don't see how it

    would still zoom after setting it to zero.

     

    To those experiencing this issue, do you have any other mice you can

    try? Preferrably scroll-wheel mice that don't support side-side tilt on

    the scroll wheel.

     

    Let me know what you guys can find out. If problems continue I'm going

    to need some way of reproducing the issue. Please specify the OS and

    whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge Garcia

    Hi Jorge

     

    I am currently using an old mouse that does not have side-to-side capability, and it seems to work correctly.  I would prefer my cordless but this old one at least lets me get my work done.

     

    The other mouse does not zoom with a setting of 0.  Instead, when you press the button down it scrolls from side to side.  Rotating the wheel scrolls vertically as it should. 

     

    My OS is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

     

    Thanks for looking into this.

    I realize this is an old thread but I just updated from version 5 to version 7 and now I have this problem too, very frustrating.  Windows (7) will not allow me to turn the side-to-side control off; '1' is the lowest sensitivity setting instead of '0'.  This reduces the error but still makes the mouse frustrating to use for panning.

    My Logitech M505 wireless mouse works exactly perfect with respect to scroll up=Zoom in, scroll down=Zoom out, right tilt=pan right, left tilt=pan left. That is except for Eagle 6.6. Works with all my browsers, every microsoft product, everything I have ever tried. Except Eagle. I doubt it is an OS issue. Just my 2 cents.
