Reset (right click) not returning to default command (selection tool)

We just upgraded our systems to Windows 7 and V8i SS3 from XP and V8i SS2.

We are using ProjectWise.  All hardware is just simple out-of-the box Dell keyboard & mouse.

Only software was updated.  Hardware has not changed.

 

In the old XP/SS2 environment, a right click would return me to the selection tool.  This no longer works. It doesn't seem to do anything.  The current command/tool remains active.

I searched online, found some info about changing some options in the Look & Feel part of preferences.  But, none of the changes caused anything to change.

How can I change the right cilck behavior in Microstation V8i SS3 to escape/cancel current command and return to my default tool which is the Selection tool?

Thanks.

 

P.S. I do have ESC set up to cancel commands, but I am looking for my mouse to act the same way in SS3 as it did in SS2.

EDIT:  I am still using XP/SS2 on top of my Win7/SS3 via a VDI login and the buttons work as expected, so it is not a mouse hardware problem.

  • Regarding button assignment, if you want a machine to work the way another do, you can save the button assignment from first machine in a file and open it on the other machine, this doesn't save the button mapping that depend on hardware.

    On your old machine,

    1. Select the menu "Workspace>Button assignment..." then in the dialog box,
    2. Select "File>Save as" and give it a file name, and save
    3. Click the "Button mapping" button and check the button invoked by "right button",

    Then on the new machine,

    1. Select the menu "Workspace>Button assignment..." then in the dialog box,
    2. Click the "Button mapping" button and check the button invoked by "right button",  correct if it is different by selecting the button name and rightclicking in the box below the list.
    3. Select "File>open" and point to the file previously saved.
