According to documentation here:

Holding down the middle mouse button and dragging in the drawing window should allow to pan the drawing. Without having to switch to Hand tool which is super time consuming.
Is the Quick Pan function broken on Mac builds? Am I missing some setting to enable Quick Pan?
Thanks
I've been using the Win version for years and I'm sad to say I didn't realize you could do that. That's a super helpful tool combined with the 'zoom' of the scroll wheel.
I just tested it with my Mac version and it does not appear to do anything on mine either, just like you mentioned. I've also been having trouble with the middle mouse button (scroll wheel) not zooming when I have the default action for the mouse wheel set to 'zoom' in Preferences> CorelDraw> Display. That said, there may be something not working in general with the center button/scroll wheel?
Yesterday I submitted a support ticket regarding the scroll issue, so when I hear back I'll try to ask them about this as well because I'm curious too.
I just got the first reply back from Corel Support and the only info they gave me so far was "he pan tool in the macOS version is were the Zoom tool is in the Toolbar. You can create a shortcut for the Pan tool and it will be easier." So that's basically what you already knew and doesn't really help. I asked if it could be assigned to the center mouse button (Scroll wheel button) but will have to wait to hear back on that.
Now that I understand how powerful that would be in conjunction with the 'zoom' of the scroll wheel (without having to hold the CMD key) like it works in the Win version, I'm really wanting that functionality. Seems it would really speed workflow.
I just added this as a feature request over on the CorelDRAW Ideas Portal. You can upvote it there.
