I'm new to Blender and 2.81 is way too different.

I was using the press & hold middle button normally, tried to create a new plane with PBR materials (previously prepared with Youtube tutorials).

Then I typed x, y & z many times to cycle lock/unlock view. No do.

Tried unchecking the transform options "origins" & "locations", nothing.

Tried loading the factory settings, still can't move around with the middle mouse button. Auto perspective unchecked as well.

Just noticed the screen zooms in to the object when pressing Shift + C

Same problem 3 years ago.

  • $\begingroup$ I know it is not the exact solution BUT it works and now I can finish my logo which is what I wanted. Thanks to Nate_Sycro27 for the idea, turning Emulate 3 button mouse enables you to move the user perspective pressing Alt + LMB Path to enable this option on Blender 2.81.16: Edit>Preferences>Input>Mouse>Emulate 3 Button Mouse Right here! $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If the middle button is not working, that is probably the mouse, not Blender. $\endgroup$

Check your keymap preferences. Click the edit drop down from the top of the window, click preferences at the very bottom, and navigate to where I am in the attached picture. Is rotate mapped to your middle mouse button? enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ You are welcome. Your mouse is in the 3D viewport when you are trying to rotate of course, correct? Have you tried restarting the program? $\endgroup$
