Using the Mouse for Object Editing
The Object Editor provides a quick and easy way to perform many frequently used editing tasks. Simply move the cursor over an object to highlight it such as a curve, text, or feature and right-click the mouse to display an Object Editor Popup Menu that contains editing commands tailored to that specific object type. You can use the Pick Filter to set the object type to highlight.

You can also double-left-click on an object such as a sketch to activate it for editing or a curve to modify it. The 3-button mouse assignments for object editing in VX are provided below.
