Right-Click Menus

Whenever you are using the mouse in Phase2, the right mouse button will always bring up a context menu with option(s) appropriate to the action being performed, or the entity clicked on. The right mouse button can be used in many different ways in Phase2:

1. When using any option in Phase2, always check what is available in the right-mouse menu, you may find the options very useful and time saving. For example:

• After selecting entities, the right mouse button always makes available Done Selection.

• For other options, Done or Cancel is available.

• The Snap mode can be toggled on or off.

2. Entities can be directly clicked on with the right mouse button, to display a popup menu with applicable options. For example:

• Drawing Tools (eg arrows, text boxes etc) can be clicked on to display popup menus with editing and formatting options.

• Boundaries can be clicked on to display popup menus with querying and display options.

• Queries can be clicked on to display popup menus with graphing and display options.
