Options/Controls

Mouse Wheel Configuration

  • Action - a list of actions for which the mouse wheel can be configured. These configurations are for a mouse that has a wheel between two mouse buttons. As noted in the grid, Launch Board InsightChange Layer and Zoom Insight Lens are configurations that affect the mouse wheel only in the PCB Editor; Change Channel affects the mouse wheel only in the schematic. 
Action items that do not specify a specific editor will configure mouse wheel operations in all editors, including Draftsman.
  • Button Configuration - use these options to configure any keyboard button combination (Ctrl and/or Shift and/or Alt) that is required to be used along with the mouse wheel function (as listed in the grid) to perform that action.
