FYI: LOGITECH MOUSE ISSUE SWX 2008

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Michael Eckstein, Nov 15, 2007.

  1. I am using a Logitech MX-700 cordless optical mouse and SWX 2008 SP0. I have
    what is called Smart Move in the mouse enabled, this makes the cursor jump
    to the dialog boxes automatically, saving wrist movement.
    The problem, when working in drawings if I hit the Dimension icon, the
    cursor jumps to the lower left corner of the screen. I then have to move it
    back to the area I want to dimension, after I place the dimension the cursor
    jumps again back to the lower left corner. It does this for every dimension,
    WHAT A PAIN IN MY WRIST(?).
    If I disable the Smart Move function then the dimension menu works as it
    should, but then I have to move the cursor to all the dialog boxes, ITS A
    PAIN EITHER WAY! I also tried a six year old Logitech optical mouse and got
    the same issues
    Well I was just going to hit the send button to post this and the VAR called
    and has found SPR#235034 dealing with Logitech mice not functioning
    correctly in SWX 2008 and some other unnamed 3D Cad software.
    CRAP! looks like I'm off to pick up a new mouse, and my hand just got formed
    to this one after 3 years.
