Rotating View on Mac

[GuardingGuards]

In the game, it says rotating the view is done using the middle mouse button, which Macs don't have, so I can't rotate my view. I mean isn't this something that should've been thought of earlier. It's a pretty glaring problem. Is there a work around or will I need to wait for a patch.

Think one of the keys does it, not running the game at the mo but I have found various keys doing zoom and movement etc.

Agree gets frustrating!

Possible through third party apps - Or you know. Just get a three button mouse like anyone else who actually wants to play a game on a Mac. (Or in general - I don't understand people who insist on using classical Mac mice for OSX)

I play many games on my mac and I use a trackpad and I've never had a problem. If a game works on a mac, it should be designed to work with what the mac uses for inputs. It shouldn't require you to buy another device to interact with the game.

It doesn't - As I just showed you.

But I get your point - I have a feeling they (CO) haven't tested it with regular Mac mice too much aside from making sure the game runs on the system itself.

Rotate, yes. But you don't have free 360" panning.

Does anyone know how to rotate objects on a mac?

I can do a two finger tap op the trackpad but that only rotates 90 degrees

ctrl click does nothing

I'm on a MacBook Pro --> Click to see My Computer Stats

The link below is the mouse I use. I got it for this game and found it works great. It's so easy to just plug in the usb receiver and go. No setup required. Note: It's a tiny mouse, but works great for me. If you're using the Apple mouse for the convience of the touch features like the track pad, you'll obviously need to use this as a separate mouse.

Thank you for the information.. I still want to use my Magic Mouse or the track-pad but I think that's not possible. Also tested with Karibiner to assign middle mouse wheel to a keyboard shortcut but I was not able to do that.

I play on an iMac with a Magic Mouse. Can't help you with a trackpad. Mouse works fine. Should work the same with a laptop
Right click rotates an object in 45º increments
Right hold and drag (left or right) rotates smoothly (you may have to release and reposition the object)
Left click plops/locks the object in position.
Works the same with MoveIt!

It works with the Magic Mouse! Under Options > Keymapping > "Rotate Camera Modifier" assign a key on keyboard. While holding that key down, you can rotate the camera my moving the mouse (don't click the left or right button, just move the mouse while holding your new modifier key)
