BAM, I'm sorry but I have not been able to set any buttons with the MX700 to the scroll function in CAD. I'm using CAD 2002 btw and using driver version 9.76. Haven't checked if there is a new one out. I'm still a bit confused. Do you have the wheel button ie: pressing down on the wheel, set for anything? Scrolling up and down or left and right with the scroll bars is bit outdated, isn't? I mean having the scroll bars showing, aren't you losing window real estate? I'm using a 21" monitor at home and work and I'm still searching for ways to 'unclutter' my screen so I have a larger working area. I've created pull down menus just to remove some toolbars and utilize LISP to shorten functions. By pressing the wheel, i'm able to pan and scrolling the wheel allows me to zoom in and out and I find that doing it this way, I'm able to navigate a drawing alot faster than using scroll bars. Actually, I haven't used scroll bars in CAD for many years and don't know of anyone who does. Sorry that I couldn't help you more.

Have you checked in the mouse settings (in the control panel) where you set the functions for the those two buttons? If not, I'll be at work tomorrow and I'll check my system out. I use the MX700 at work without a hitch but I probably use different settings than you. I'll see if I can set it to scroll like you want and I'll let ya know what I come up with.

Exactly what are you trying to do? Scroll with the wheel...or the scroll buttons above and below the wheel? Scrolling with the wheel will allow you to zoom in and out and pressing on the wheel will allow you to pan. You may want to check the 'mbuttonpan' (typed at the command prompt) system variable. Disabled = 0 and Enabled = 1. Enabled will allow you to zoom in and out and pan when the wheel is depressed. I won't be home for a while (got to go out) but I will check later to see if you've solved your problem.
