No mouse wheel scrolling, bad performance.
The first thing I notice while trying bricsCAD is that there is no mousewheel scrolling on my macbook air m2. I'm using a logitech m575.
The other thing I notice, is that compared to AutoCAD 2025, bricsCAD is noticably sluggish. AutoCAD appears to be using the apple silicon and bricsCAD is using intel. Apple Silicon has been out for a few years now, this really should be properly ported.
I'm highly attracted to a permanent licence, but if I can't zoom and it runs like crap I can't justify switching.

Thats really a tragedy …. no Apple ARM support in sight.

That's strange.
I usually use a 3DConnexion CADMouse on my M1 Mini which has no scroll problems,
but problems with click reliability in humid summer above 60% humidity.
Therefore I also currently use a Logitech Mouse and driver, without a scroll wheel problem.But this is an old cheap Logitech M500 USB Mouse.
It did not work with their latest AI+ driver as it asked for bluetooth mouse only ….
So I use the older "non plus" Logitech "logi Options" Driver Software.BTW I am on Sequoia Public Beta since day one.
My problem is that the cranky scroll wheel by default has a side scroll option, which makes
the use of scroll wheel as important Middle Mouse Button totally unreliable.
Usually when I try to click Scroll Wheel it would zoom in instead of MMB.
I recently reset Logitech "by App" settings for all my 3D/CAD Apps to force "scroll left+right"
to MMB instead. Now Scroll Wheel Click is more reliable.
So, what Driver do you use on our MBA and which OS ?
If Logitech Software, do you have "Point and Scroll" set to Scroll Direction = Standard ?0 -

there is no mousewheel scrolling on my macbook
This turned out to be a limitation in an underlying third party library used for event processing.
As a result, mouse wheel scroll events stopped being processed for zooming the view. This was the case only when the macOS uptime exceeded 25 days.
We have come up with a fix. It has been approved by the original library maintainers and integrated into our version.
The fix is expected to be published in one of the next BricsCAD releases.
Until then, when the bug surfaces, a macOS reboot fixes it.1 -
Edit to add: My uptime is usually measured in months.
I think I'm outside the free trial period and have since uninstalled. I think though when you guys start supporting apple silicon I might give you another look. Until then, autocad 2024 for mac works for my needs.
