Control in Graphics

The mouse functions follow the Windows standards: If you click a structural object with the left mouse button , you select it. Double-click the object to open its edit dialog box. You can use this functionality not only for the graphic objects in the work window, but also for the object entries in the Navigator.

When you hold down the Ctrl key, you can select several objects by clicking one after the other. A plus symbol appears on the pointer. You can remove an object from the selection by holding down the Shift key. Accordingly, a minus symbol appears on the pointer.

Info

Selected objects can be moved in the graphics by using the drag-and-drop function, or also copied by holding down the Ctrl key.

When you right-click an object, you open its shortcut menu. It offers object-related commands and functions (see image # extbookmark manual | image027658 | Shortcut menu of a point #). Shortcut menus are not only available in the graphics, but also in the navigator and tables.

When you scroll with the mouse wheel, you maximize or minimize the displayed model. The current pointer position serves as the center of the zoom area.

With the pressed scroll wheel you can move the model.
