Panning Camea With Wacom

[user_deleted]

I am using maya with a wacom, and i am wondering how do you do the equivelant of panning the camera (alt plus mmb with a mouse) with the wacom?

I went into my wacom prefs and told it to make the side button on the wacom pen act as a middle click, unfortunately when i try to use the wacom this way it does not act the same as using the mouse and mmb.

Anyone have a workaround?

Thanks

strange..
you must have done something wrong. I don`t have any problem with that..

You must remeber alt lmb + mmb is zoom so inorder to pan you should NOT ne touching the tip on a surface!

hansesurfer, yes i am aware i am doing something wrong thats why im posting... lol but hey, glad it works for you.

jojaa, i am aware that you do not need to touch the wacom pad with the pen when you zoom out. My question is about panning the camera, I can zoom out fine.

Thanks

NO actualy that was not what i said! Read again, see mmb is bound t BOTH zoom and pan, so if you touch the tip to your board you will just zoom never pan! if you dont touch the tip it will pan.

So what i said is inorder TO PAN you may never ever touch the tip to the board! So even if you have it bound right does no difference if you do.

Ps if you missed this point, here you may have missed it when testing too. Dont worry if you did then your the 12 person to not get it! Se tip i left mouse so touching teh tip and pressing the button + alt is ZOOM wich is incidenttaly also what rmb is the confusion is ultracommon, and self reinforcing.

Your last statement is just reinforcing you didnt get it, you may have tho. because if its bound to mmb then hovering will not zoom around test it!

Also chek you havent msitekenly switched teh buttons for some other prog isntad of maya

Jooja,

I have to say you are correct, I did overlook that! Works fine now since i bound the wacom grip pen button to middle mouse, then i did NOT touch the tip to the wacom. Such an easy thing to overlook, yet frustrating.

Ive got some pretty smart a$$ answers from you in the past but you are right on with this one.
