Daz3d, View: Pan - with middle mouse button..? Can I configure it.

Hi

the first time I used Daz3d I thought it was obvious that I can move my view around while holding down MMB (because in most D3 applications you can do that).

1. I want to eliminate the fact that I have to click and hold down the virtual 'View: Pan' button in order to move my view..
2. When I hold CTRL and then press MMB I would want to rotate the view

I can't find any tutorials that would teach me how to do that, that leaves me wondering...... is this.. even possible?

Thank you.

Go to Window>Workspace>Customise and look at the bottom of the dialogue - select the function you wish to edit, right-click double-click the current short cut to get the change option, and click/press the combination you wish to use.

Thanks :D! It's exactly what I needed.. it's working.

YES!! That was frustrating me, too.

Excellent I need to do this! (Sometimes it's so jarring going from another 3D application to Daz in the same workflow)

Learn something new every day! I wasn't aware it could be customized and have been doing it that way for a couple years. Thanks Richard!

and to think I just accepted it for what it is all these years...

This should be a standard, it's so frustrating working with daz, it's so unintuitive...

The problem is that there are multiple standards for viewport navigation, your experience may lead you to expect middle mouse button but that is not universal.

Hi. I'm still having trouble. When I right click the option at the bottom, say for Orbit, it just turns Orbit a dark gray and doesn't seem to record the next key(s) I press for the shortcut. I know Daz 4 I either figured this out or it was default for Orbit as Middle Mouse Button.

I think they changed the procedure:

Sorry, yes it is double-click to edit those rather than right-click (in DS 4 too). I will correct my original post, but leave the quotes so people can see why it was confusing.
