I’ve recently started to use Fusion360 (F360) because the maker space I’m going to use to CNC rout a project relies on it. And I’m frustrated because I can’t alter the key/mouse button/wheel combinations so that I can use the same controls - in the same direction - to Pan, Orbit and Zoom. My SketchUp (SU) trained muscle memory is causing me all sorts of frustration when I’m in F360. Yes, F360 can “match” their controls to a few other CAD programs - but the only option that has Orbit as the middle mouse button has \\ for pan! Given the number of different CAD programs that are frequently used in conjunction with SU, I’d love it if SU leads the way with FULLY configurable Pan/Orbit/Zoom control flexibility. Admittedly, I probably won’t use them! Since SU is my first (and most frequently used) CAD program, I’d rather alter any other CAD I use to pan/orbit/zoom with SU style controls. And for that reason, I’m going to make this same post to the F360 user forum - suitably altered for viewpoint! And for those of you who revel in ridiculously obscure acronyms, I might call this the “Cross Cad Compatibility In Viewpoint Control Options Initiative” or CCCIVCOI - for short! And, of course, Layout should offer similar functionality for Pan Zoom (Orbit is n/a in a 2D program!) ---

In case anyone is interested, here’s the Feature Request I entered on Autodesk: [https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/ideastation-request-a-feature-or/adjust-pan-orbit-and-zoom-speedi-ve-recently-started-to-use/idi-p/7117177](https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/ideastation-request-a-feature-or/adjust-pan-orbit-and-zoom-speedi-ve-recently-started-to-use/idi-p/7117177)~~(It might only work with a login).~~ (Anyone can view it, but a login is required to up vote!) I welcome suggestions on OTHER CAD forums/official sites where I might make a similar post. Even better, if you use another CAD program - YOU make the suggestion as it would be far more credible coming from an actual user! If you do, let us know! ---
