Main Concepts of System Operation<br />

Context menu for dialog input boxes<br />

When working with dialog boxes, an additional set of commands is available in context menus. A context<br />

menu can be called by placing cursor within an input box of the dialog and right-clicking :<br />

Undo. Undoes the last change.<br />

Cut . Cuts selected text to clipboard.<br />

Copy . Copies selected text to clipboard.<br />

Paste . Pastes text from clipboard.<br />

Delete . Deletes selected text.<br />

Select All . Selects all text in the current input box.<br />

Insert Symbol… . Inserts a symbol from a special<br />

symbol table. The symbol code is actually entered in the input<br />

box instead of the symbol itself, for example, %%066 for the<br />

diameter symbol.<br />

This may be used for entering symbols in some textual input boxes.<br />

The data from these boxes will be inserted in the drawing. See,<br />

for example, the “Text before dimension” input box.<br />

Repeat Symbol . Inserts last symbol again.<br />

Insert Variable… . Inserts an existing variable from list.<br />

The variable name is inserted in the input box in braces. The<br />

drawing will display the actual value of the variable. The variable<br />

values can be changed in the variable editor or, in some cases,<br />

directly on the drawing (see the section “Paragraph text” of the<br />

“Text” chapter).<br />

Dictionary . Inserts text from dictionary. For detailed information, see the topic “Working with<br />

dictionary” of the “Text” chapter.<br />

Insert Fraction… . Inserting the fraction into the<br />

dialog box. Can be used, for instance, for assigning the content of<br />

text fields in dimensions, leader notes, text, etc.<br />

Upon calling the command the window of an auxiliary dialog is<br />

displayed for setting the parameters of the fraction.<br />

Edit Value List… . Value lists can be created for the dialog<br />

input boxes. The lists are preset for some boxes, for example, the<br />

input boxes “Datum” and “Value” in the “GD&T Symbol<br />

Parameters” dialog box. The command brings up a window for<br />

editing the values list.<br />

The list can be divided into columns. Entries in a column can be<br />

grouped between horizontal dividers.<br />

Insert Value to List . This command adds the current value<br />

from the dialog input box into the list. If the list did not exist, it<br />

will be created.<br />
