I enjoy going into Edit>Preferences>General and clicking the box to zoom with the scroll wheel. However I use 3DS Max often, and thought it would be amazing to click the middle mouse button to pan. I cannot find anyway to map to the mouse. Anyone?

Ummm on a seperate note (so as you don't kill yourself and I have it on my conscience), just a shot in the dark but is the space bar not suitable?

Haha, well the space bar is okkkkay... but I move back and forth from 3Ds Max to Photoshop quite often (pan in Max is middle mouse button) so the transition would make sense, and I think for me it would be really intuitive to have all the spacial controls for photoshop at the tip of my right hand fingers. Until they implement mouse mapping though I will make some lemonade! :)

Hold alt down while using the middle scroll wheel to zoom. Hold down thumb scroll to pan.

No worries RoboYak. If you don't mind me asking, what sort of work do you get up to in 3ds max?
