Changing Action of Shift + Middle Button
Currently (out of the box) V12.1.8 is setup so that when I hold down shift, depress the middle mouse button (scroll wheel) I can adjust my 3D view by means of the Real Time Constrained Sphere (rtrot). I would like to change this to use the Real-Time Sphere (rtrotf) command instead - i find it easier to use. I fired up the CUI editor, went to the mouse tab and under Shift Click, changed the middle button to reference the RTROTF command. Back in Bricscad, if I hold shift and click the middle button, I get the Real-Time Sphere command initializing as expected, however I have to release shift and the scroll wheel and adjust the view with the left mouse button, I would like to have the ability to adjust the view with the Real-Time Sphere by holding down shift and the scroll wheel. Any ideas? I am sort of thinking that this is something that I need to write a .NET app to hook into the mouse click events but I am not sure...

I started looking into the CUI editor again and noticed a few things that I don't understand...If I expand the BRICSCAD > Mouse buttons, I see the following:If I click the middle button, I get the pan command, but the dialogue says that I should be getting the snap context menu...

Hi Scott,
You have to turn MBUTTONPAN off to get the behavior defined in the .cui file for the middle mouse button.
If you want to understand mouse customization completely, you also have to look at the CTRLMOUSE and SHORTCUTMENU variables.
Way too complicated, if you ask me, but that's AutoCAD legacy - I am glad people at Bricsys are working on the subject...0 -
I too wanted to replace the real time constrained sphere with the real-time sphere. i hope this does get adjusted a little bit.0

Overriding Shift+MiddleMouseButton so it triggers RealTimeSphere unfortunately is not supported.
That being said, Ctrl+MiddleMouseButton does trigger RealTimeSphere.
Just wanted to make sure everyone here is aware...0
