10.5.4.3.1. Basics for use

The following explains the basic instructions for use:

  • Carry out a function

    • Activate button with simple mouse-click.

      --> The buttons' function is "hanging" on to the cursor and the button is marked by a frame.

    • Move the cursor to the desired location in the sketch.

      --> Depending on the selected command, the object snap (circular symbol) becomes visible.

    • Carry out the function of the buttons through simple mouse-clicks at the desired spot (e.g. Insert line).

  • Deactivate commands: Activated commands are deactivated when clicking on another commands and/or by right-clicking into the 2D drawing area.

  • Some commands are inactive at first

    The buttons of the menu group Copy, Mirror, Rotate, for example, are only then able to be selected when a sketch element has been marked.

  • Automatic object snap for activated commands : If you move the cursor in the immediate area of an end, middle or intersection point, these points will be surrounded by a small circle and thus identified as a construction help point.

  • Sorting in groups

    To improve the overview, the individual function buttons are summarized in groups with similar functions. You can also move a button group.

  • Turn button groups on / off:

    Right-click into a toolbar and set or remove the checkmark at the desired toolbar.
