Mouse Middle Button and Panning

Post by Zumwalt1999 »

I have moved from win 10 to 11, and updated to version 10.4.4 392 from version 9.

I detest the way pressing the middle mouse button now scrolls instead of panning like the hand.
How do I get back to the panning methiod?

thank you

Hello Zumwalt1999,

You are most likely using an older build of the product.

You can check which version you currently have installed under:

Help → About

Thank you, thank you

I had to move my system from a crashed computer, and thought I installed the latest version. But forgot I had the latest waiting to be downloaded.
Updated to to version 11 and panning is all good again.
