Hi,

Would you try to explain what do you want to do? An example could help..

for logitech mice, you can use functions like "ctrl+shift+x" and so on. just create a command in your cui with that as the macro, then just program it into your mouse from the logitech software.

i programmed one of my two thumb buttons to open a custom popup menu (like the osnap one if you ctrl+right click) for the few random LDD commands i can't type in, and i don't want to litter my desktop with them (most are all my contouring/grading commands).

have a look at this.

can simulate keystrokes. will work with all mice.

Make sure you don't have another mouse suite installed along side the Logitech one. What mouse are you using? I use a logitech and haven't had any problems assigning keystrokes to buttons since I removed all other mouse software.

You can download a Setpoint modification called uberOptions. It enables a whole lot of options that Logitech doesn't include in their software. The program is very stable...only seems to have any trouble when there's a logitech update. And if you're on top of things, you can backup your settings files before that happens and replace them after the Setpoint update.

 

In Logitech's forums, their own employees sometimes recommend installing uberOptions as it is sometimes even more stable than vanilla Setpoint and can overcome some software/driver conflicts that Setpoint won't handle.

 

You can add multiple keystrokes to any button with this software, and if you're really inspired, you can pretty easily go beyond the "Two Keystrokes" option to as many as you want. If you're interested, Richard Owens (rlowens) haunts the Logitech mouse and keyboard forums.

 

One more bonus of uberOptions is that you can program the extra keys on Logitech keyboards to do what you want. I have launch buttons for AutoCAD and Microstation on my keyboard, as well as 2 Windows Explorer buttons that open to the 2 main network drives I use most often.

 

Enjoy!
