Is there a way to map the right click mouse button to "repeat last
command" on a single click, and if I double click the right mouse
button, it will pop up the normal right click menu? I swear I can
remember using solidworks like this before, but I could be wrong.

I am aware of enabling program specific settings under the mouse menu
in the control panel. But I'm almost certain that solidworks has an
internal option to do so.

Any help?

AutoCAD does that.... I've never seen SolidWorks do that though.

I'm pretty certain SW doesn't have any options for changing the
behavior of left/right clicking.  However, you can look into using a
free program called Autohotkey.  It's a versatile application allowing
remapping of pretty much any key to any function.  You could
potentially map a right click to another key that is set to repeat
command, and map double right click to a normal right click.  I
currently have one of my extra mouse buttons to close the current
window on single click and close the current application on double
dlick.  Good luck.

After all these years it sure would be nice if you did. This is one of
the things I love about Rhino.
