CP4 Middle Mouse to place dimension / Edit Attachment is not working

[akelly]

I use a Logitech MX Master mouse with CP4.  I started a new drawing yesterday where I'm creating draft dimensions.  Middle mouse to place or complete Edit Attachment isn't working.  It's behaving like a command cancel function.

I am a bit rusty on drawings, but we've been on CP4 for 2+ years (and Creo/ProE a lot longer).  Most of my work tends to be in part/assembly mode.  And most of the time we use model instead of draft dimensions on the drawing.  I've created draft dimensions before and I don't remember this being an issue.

Work-around is to tap the middle button on the track-pad on my keyboard.  But that is kind of tedious and non-intuitive to have to use that for the one operation that doesn't work with the mouse.

Funny thing - the middle mouse works everywhere else.  Inside part / assembly mode, you can click the middle button to confirm Done, spin/pan/zoom work with the Ctrl- and Alt- keys.  Wheel to zoom works.  Basically, I don't think there's anything wrong with the mouse or driver.

Check the hardware. Can you borrow another MXM mouse to test? I use a Logitech G700s and MX performance on Creo 4 without this issue. The switches on these are known to fail with heavy use. One of the failure modes is that the switch is intermittent or makes multiple actuations with a single user "click".

Thanks. The explanation makes sense.  Hard to prove.

We don't have another of that model to test.

Like I said, middle button on the touchpad works.

I have a Logitech M525.  Middle-button-to-place doesn't work (but doesn't cancel the command, either).  Now Windows 10 wants me to re-boot to complete the setup.  Inconclusive, really, until I can complete the re-boot and re-test.

This is from an old post, but didn't know if this would help:
