Breadboard will not scroll left or right.

[pkbsr]

When I create a breadboard layout of a simple circuit and I'm trying to zoom in to the area of interest the left and right scroll buttons don't do anything.

Any suggestions or tests would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi pkbsr,

You can pan around the design by clicking and holding the mouse scroll wheel and moving your mouse in the direction you want to go. You will see a 4-way arrow symbol to indicate that moving the mouse will pan the design.

That doesn't seem to do the trick.  I can zoom into the breadboard and rotate it 3 dimentionally but if I zoom in to the middle of the board then try to scroll to the left or right nothing happens.

Thanks again!

One more thing... With Windows 7 the middle mouse button performs an alt-tab in effect apparently by default.

Hi pkbsr.,

I'm using Windows 7 on my computer, and that is definitely not what I'm seeing. However, if clicking the scroll wheel is showing the Alt-Tab flip, then Multisim will not be able to scroll. (It is a quite complicated, but if you are seeing the Alt-Tab flip, Multisim will never know that the scroll wheel was clicked.)

I did  a quick search online to try to come up with why Windows might be intercepting the click. Do you have any Windows customization software installed, for example AutoHotKey? If not, are you able to scroll using the scroll wheel in other applications? For example, in Internet Explorer

1. Browse to ni.com
2. Resize the window so you see scroll bars
3. Click the scroll wheel and you should see the icon highlighted by the red box in the image below. If you move your mouse around, the page should scroll.

Intellimouse is installed and the "Flip" is default.  I changed it to "Middle Click" and it works now... Thanks for your help.

When I do that under Windows 7 it always goes into the wrong direction - panning left moves right and vice versa ?

What is autopanning under general preferences - it doens't seem to have any effect ...

Hi tbet:

Autopan automatically moves the view when you move your mouse to the edge of the screen. This only has an effect in full screen, which is probably why you are not seeing the effect.

Can you explain in more detail what you are doing that is causing the inverted panning. I have checked on my computer and everything seems to work correctly.
