Middle Mouse button customization

How can I change the behavior of the middle mouse button? I am new to Creo and Would like to make it so that I pan with the middle mouse button pressed and orbit with SHIFT+MMB. Basically the reverse of what it is currently set (I'm assuming as default) Also, is there a way to switch how the wheel zooms in and out? Again, reversing the control scheme. This latter problem isn't a big deal, but the Pan/Orbiting is what I really want to know if it can be changed.

Javier,

reversing of zooming direction is mentioned in How to reverse the mouse wheel zoom. I guess that AutoHotkey is able to solve your first request ...

    Thanks martin. This helps. I do have a question, in that above mentioned thread it mentions a command for the AHK script...

    #IfWinActive, ahk_class Dialog

    WheelDown::WheelUp

    WheelUp::WheelDown

    I tried to replicate it with the middle mouse button behavior and thought maybe adding this bit...

    #IfWinActive, ahk_class Dialog

    +MButton::MButton

    MButton::+MButton

    I created a new script and I had this in there...

    #NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.

    ; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.

    SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

    SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

    #IfWinActive, ahk_class Dialog

    WheelDown::WheelUp

    WheelUp::WheelDown

    Return

    #IfWinActive, ahk_class Dialog

    +MButton::MButton

    MButton::+MButton

    Return

    But the MMB behavior does not change. I saw the the + sign is for the SHIFT button, but I'm not sure what the command for the middle mouse button would be. I am totally ignorant on HTML coding, so most of this script is all above my head.

    Javier,

    +MButton::MButton

    MButton::+MButton

    I think the above mentioned remapping will not work, because +MButton is not single key/button. It is a combination of key and button.

    For example the following remapping will work

    MButton::RButton

    RButton::MButton

    I am sorry I can't help you. I spent some time looking for a solution, unfortunatelly without success .
