Context Menu

Use the context menu to quickly access frequently needed functions. In a lot of cases, this eases working with the different objects.

Open the context menu by right-clicking:

  • On models, assemblies, or parts in the Model Tree.
  • On the parts of a model in the display.
  • In 3D-mode in the background if parts are hidden or you are in full screen mode.
  • In the 3D-tool Measure and Markup on the textboxes of annotations and dimensions.
  • In 2D-Mode under Annotate on redline markups and 2D dimensions.

Some features can only be accessed through the context menu.

 Note
Using touch gestures, the context menu opens by pressing the finger about one second on the object and then release it.

Example
When displaying cross sections, parts of the model can be excluded from the cross section by selecting Cross section on/off from the context menu.

Tip
The context menu makes full screen presentations easier because the most important menu items, as well as default and customs views, can be accessed.
