To change the behavior of mouse buttons in the Graphics Window:
Select → , then click on Mouse and Keyboard
Set each click and drag mouse button pulldown (Left, Middle, Right and combinations of such) as desired.
Set the two button click and drag for each mouse.
Set the single click action for each mouse button.
Set the action for the keyboard P key (see below).
Set desired Zoom Style.
Automatic slide will zoom based on the direction and distance the mouse is moved. To the right or up zooms away, while to the left or down zooms towards. The distance the mouse is dragged determines the rate of continuous zoom.
Manual drag zooms in the same directions, but only a distance relative to the distance the mouse is dragged.
Click Save To Preference File to save your changes (if you want these changes to be the default for future sessions of EnSight) and to exit the dialog.
The new settings will take effect as soon as you hit the close button. If you clicked Save To Preference Files, your changes are also written to a file and automatically loaded during future EnSight sessions.
