One of our new employees asked about using a multi-button mouse. How does one go about programming the buttons for use in Datacad?

Depends on what mouse you are using. You could probably mimic any single quick key on a programmable mouse easily. More advanced mice could be setup to run macros directly on the mouse, or setup to run a Datacad Alias. Or if your mouse can launch programs you could use something like AutoHotKey to do some pretty advanced scripts. It's really only limited by the mouse & it's drivers and how complex of programming the user wants to get into.
