Panning in PCB Designer 16.6 3D Viewer?

FormerMember

I seem to have no control for panning in the 3D viewer window. How is panning supposed to operate using the 3D viewer?

    Click and drag the right-mouse-button.

    Thanks for replying. I would expect that to be the combination but it doesn't do a thing. Zoom with the wheel works. Rotating by press-n-drag of the left mouse button works. Right mouse button does nothing. Tried a different mouse with the same result. Are there any settings that affect the right mouse button use?

    I found an old 16.3 installation and the panning does work on the right mouse button. It could be possible that your mouse buttons have some non-standard settings but this would likely affect other applications and general mouse usage as well.

    I'm running latest version of 16.6 and my RMB(hold) pans, wheel(spin) zooms in/out, wheel(hold) zooms in/out, LMB(hold) spins the PCB.

    I just updated my 16.6 installation and still have the same issue. I also tried it on another PC running 16.6... same result. Very strange.
