Mouse and Function Key Commands

Mouse Functions

The term "click" refers to the selection of an item, command, or control by placing the mouse cursor over it, then pressing and releasing the left mouse button. If you do not have a command function active, you can use the left mouse button to create a View Window and zoom in on an area of your workspace.

To "double-click" means to perform the above action, but pressing and releasing the left mouse button twice in rapid succession.

The term "right-click" refers to the selection of an item, command, or control by placing the mouse cursor over it, then pressing and releasing the right mouse button. Often, as when you right-click in the main workspace, a shortcut menu appears, allowing you to select a command by clicking on it.

Clicking the middle mouse button in the main VisualCAM workspace is the equivalent of the View|Zoom In command.

You can use the Options|Configure command to change the default left, right, and middle mouse button assignments described above.

Function Keys

VisualCAM comes pre-configured with the following function key assignments:

You can change any of the default function key assignments listed above, using the Options|Configure command.

See Hotkeys for a list of keyboard shortcut keys.
