Coordinate Information

Along the bottom of each tab pane is information about the coordinate system in use for the current pane. First (going from left to right) is the physical size, in either milimeters or inches, then the current viewport, and then finally the current pointer position in the viewport coordinate system. Additionally, a dashed box is shown on the drawing area showing the bounds of the viewport coordinate system.

Tool Buttons

To the right of the drawing display area are a collection of tool buttons. There six buttons for inserting graphical elements. These buttons are tab specific and their functionallity is described in the tab-specific sections of this manual. The bottom three buttons are the same for all three tabs. The bottom threse buttons are:

Size
The Side tool button changes the coordinate system. It displays a dialog box asking for new values for the width, height, units, and viewport.
ShrinkWrap
The ShrinkWrap tool button "shrink wraps" a (presumably) finished part. It recomputes a viewport that just encloses the part. This includes computing the exact size of the part.
Zoom
The Zoom tool button lets you zoom in or out. See Keyboard and mouse bindings.

Keyboard and mouse bindings

There are some common keyboard and pointer bindings. There is a context menu bound to the right pointer button. Right-clicking on a graphical element brings up a menu of things you can do to that element: delete or edit, with keyboard accelerators Delete and E, respectively.

Additionally, the F1 key is bound to zoom in, the F2 key is bound to zoom out, and the F3 is bound to zoom 1:1.
