Changing Right mouse button

    Is there a way to map the right click mouse button to "repeat last
    command" on a single click, and if I double click the right mouse
    button, it will pop up the normal right click menu? I swear I can
    remember using solidworks like this before, but I could be wrong.

    I am aware of enabling program specific settings under the mouse menu
    in the control panel. But I'm almost certain that solidworks has an
    internal option to do so.

    Any help?

    AutoCAD does that.... I've never seen SolidWorks do that though.

    I'm pretty certain SW doesn't have any options for changing the
    behavior of left/right clicking. However, you can look into using a
    free program called Autohotkey. It's a versatile application allowing
    remapping of pretty much any key to any function. You could
    potentially map a right click to another key that is set to repeat
    command, and map double right click to a normal right click. I
    currently have one of my extra mouse buttons to close the current
    window on single click and close the current application on double
    dlick. Good luck.

    After all these years it sure would be nice if you did. This is one of
    the things I love about Rhino.
