    Hi all,

    Just a quick technical question. I have an R60e and I'm using Microstation V8 and Bentley's MX. I have been wanting to use my trackpoint to zoom in and out of the drawing/windows. This feature is available when using my 3 buttoned mouse (middle button zooms).

    How can I get the same feature when using the track point buttons?
    any help would helpful.

    Well, If you click the middle trackpoint button and move the trackpoint it should be the same as turning a mouse wheel. I tried it on autocad and it didn't do anything though.

    You need to turn off some auto scroll type setting in the mouse button setup in control panel. (I'm not with my laptop right now, will check when I get home)
    Middle button zoom etc is working fine for me in various CAD packages after turning it off. :)

    Edited to add:
    Right, goto mouse properties in control panel and select the Ultranav tab. Click the settings button in the Trackpoint section, and set the "Scrolling/Magnifying" function to "Neither".
    It then functions as a normal middle mouse button. :)
