Shortcut menu in design mode

Shortcut menu
Using the mouse in design mode

You work in Design Mode as long as you have switched off Navigation Mode (How).

Activate or deactivate Navigation Mode in one of the following ways

• Menu bar: View

• Keyboard: CTRL+D

• Toolbar: Viewport toolbar

If the cursor is within a viewport and you click the right mouse button while you are working in design mode, the tools on the shortcut menu differ depending on the following criteria:

• Clicking in the empty workspace
  If you right-click in the empty workspace, you can choose from a wide range of edit tools and a number of frequently used general tools.
• Clicking a design entity
  If you right-click a design entity, the shortcut menu presents relevant edit tools. As soon as you select one of these tools, the program automatically selects the element clicked.
• Entering points
  If you have selected a tool which expects you to enter a point, clicking the right mouse button opens the shortcut menu for entering points.

All these tools are also included in the menus or toolbars, where they are described in detail.
