The context menu of an element can be accessed by right-clicking on
the element. The menu contains items for editing, deleting, moving and
copying the element, as well as changing its properties by calling the
parameters dialog box. One can also view the information about the
selected element, measure it, and change the selector settings.
When working with complex drawings, several elements might be near
the cursor. To select the desired element in this situation, use the
“Other…” item in the context menu for selecting the element from list.
The list contains the elements nearest to the cursor. Only the elements
allowed by the selector settings are included in the list. The number of the
nearby elements in the list can be set in the selector settings dialog box.
This dialog also provides the options for the list representation. The latter
can appear as a context menu or as a resizable dialog box floating on
screen, providing the user better view of the drawing elements.
Main Concepts of System Operation
A group of elements can be selected in the command-waiting mode as well. Just like in the case of the
editing commands, various methods can be used for the group selection: selecting by box left to right
(selected are all elements that are fully within the specified region); selecting by box right to left (selected
are all elements that at least partially enter the specified region); a serial selection of elements using
+ , + . The context menu will contain the commands for moving/copying, deleting and
modifying properties of the selected elements.
Changing various type element parameters outside any command
Use the property window to simultaneously change parameters of multiple elements while in the commandwaiting
mode. In this way, unlike using the specific element editing commands, one can change parameters
of various type elements simultaneously.
While in the command-waiting mode, the property window contains a dialog box for changing properties of
the selected element. The dialog is inactive by default. To activate the dialog, enter the property window and
expand the group “Properties”. After that, upon selecting any element, the element parameters will be
