How to pan using magic mouse in Autocad 2012 for Mac?

Holding the spacebar will allow you to pan. However, it doesn't work when another command is active and it takes some microseconds to react. I don't like it.

Actually, I really dislike navigating in autocad for the mac. I have an app that allows me to simulate commands with my magic mouse by using gestures. For example, I've set it up so that two finger click means middle click. It even works when using my virtualized windows version of autocad. However, of all my apps, there's one that's incomplatible: AutoCAD for the mac.

Another problem is that you cannot zoom inactive windows, I don't understand why. You must switch windows, and when doing that, the active command is canceled! It's ridiculous.

I'm disliking the navigating too, but instead of the spacebar, I have to hold down the Command button at the same time. The problem with that is it takes me out of Model Space and into Paper Space. Two double clicks to get back in and all is well, but it took a while, and when you're concentrating on eg, dimensioning, you don't always notice.

Re: inactive windows. No zooming, but side to side movement is ok. A fix would be nice.

My other problem bugged me so much I went out and got a (insert feeling of embarassment here) Logitech wheel mouse, and that was trying to control the zoom rate. When it's set as slow as possible, it's too slow for everything else and when it's in AutoCAD, it's ok but most of the time it takes 3 or 4 swipes on the scroll to get it to move. The wheel mouse was ok, but zoom control doesn't work well, even tho it's an expensive mouse, and exchanging it for a new one brought the same problem. (let go of the wheel and it bounces back a little...or a lot... from the direction in which you zoomed). I think I'll take the magic mouse...

There is an application you can download called http://magicprefs.com/ that can be really useful

I work with auto cad 2014, and have the same problem as you: i cant ''pan'' with my magic mouse without pressing the spacebar. So, like you said, i've installed the application, and yet i dont know which funcions i should turn on, so that I can be able to pan with the mouse.

Would you help me?

Thanks

This is what my settings are, occasionally AutoCad does not recognize the middle click but (I find if I double click sometimes it helps) I find it much better than using the space bar.

Thanks ocsor, it worked for me.

AutoCad does not recognize the middle click

Install magicprefs app. Set two fingers click (i prefer that) as middle click. Autocad recognizes it as pan if you click hard, and hear the "click" tone from magic mouse. I hope this will be helpful.
