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,
Then on the new machine,

I should probably have mentioned that the single-click setting isn't supported when starting tools from the task navigation dialog. I have Workspace->Task Navigation->Presentation set to "Tool Box" instead of "Dialog". It is the correct behavior for a tool like "Move Element" to restart on a reset instead of exiting. The single-click setting controls whether a single or double click on the tool icon is used to start the tool in locked or single-shot mode. When started in locked mode, the tool will restart after one modification, when started in single-shot mode it will exit. The tool never exits on a reset, reset is used to cycle between overlapping elements. From the behavior you describe...you may have had the single-click setting set to single-shot in the previous version? HTH -B
I've tried everything here. I have uploaded an image with a series of screenshots of my settings.
I have 5 button mouse with scroll wheel , my scroll wheel is also a click down button so I use it for tentative I hate the cord thing as I started mstn with Intergraph work station then moved to pc and hated the 2button mouse cord thing.. as soon as 3 button was available I updated even if I have to buy it myself... so tent always middle button
left = data , right = reset, X1 = fit view, x2 = run print script ( very long but forces fence element , paper size , pent table setting and straight to pdf BTW I love scripts keyins..)
As for our friends problem YOU NEED TO HAVE THE ESC key set in in your prefs from you screen shots you don't have it ticked... that's what I have and esc always takes me back to selection tool..
I'm using ss3 and win 7.. too
