some help on activating it or something
Thanks
It seems to me based upon what you've explained below.. that you are either
on the windows desktop.. or in the explorer. Is this the case? If so.. I've
never used the middle button although perhaps that's possible.. I'd suggest
using the left click button to click-and-hold to drag the drawing over.
Drag it over to an icon which represents the application you are using....
in this case Autocad. That should get your file to open.
Pan/dragging on the middle button is activated by the system variabl
MBUTTONPAN set it to 1 (see Help also
The middle button in the mouse setup must be activated as middl
button
The dragging is not really dragging, it sounds to me that it was just
activating the pan function which has been common on autocad since 2000 or
something. It seems to me that he messed with a setting or his computer
mouse settings might be screwy, as every out of the box install of autocad i
have done since version 2000 has had that feature turned on.
but i could be wrong too...
in the command prompt, right click and go to options. there should
seeting under "drafting settings" If everything is in order there
you need to reconfigure you mouse through windows control panel
