My wheel button on my Microsoft Wireless 5000 mouse won't rotate the view anymore and it really sucks. How do I get it to work again.
My wheel button on my Microsoft Wireless 5000 mouse won't rotate the view anymore and it really sucks. How do I get it to work again.
I've had one at home for a while and just got one at work. At home I found that no matter what I set the wheel button to it sometimes rotates but more often doesn't. I recall reading somewhere (on this forum probably) that something about the wheel design causes this. At home I finally gave up and got around it by switching the 5000 to the Mac and the Logitech mouse to the PC.
Here at work I only have the 5000 mouse and being aware of the issue I assigned the side buttons to "middle-click" in app-specific settings for SolidWorks. Takes a little getting used to but works quite well.
Hi John
I don't know how to get your mouse to work again, but I would open a file in edrawings or some other 3d software and check to see if it is working there, if it is still not working in edrawings then you know it is a Microsoft problem and not a SolidWorks problem. I would then uninstall the mouse and reinstall it to see if that fixed the problem.
Hope you get it working again soon.
