Menu Commands and Tools
Actions can be performed in the Map Designer using menu commands, tools, and
shortcut keys. Not all menu commands have corresponding tools, and not all tools
are represented in the command menus. When working with maps, there are
several ways you can activate commands:
♦ Selecting functionality using the menu bar
♦ Right-clicking on any entry in the Navigator to display its context menu
♦ Right-clicking on the light blue title bar of the input and output cards to display
its context menu
♦ Right-clicking on any data object in the input or output cards to display its
context menu
♦ Right-clicking in the rule bar in the output card to display its context menu
♦ Clicking the tools on the toolbar
♦ Double-clicking objects in the Navigator
Note Map Designer commands are available as listed above; however, most procedural
information in the help uses the menu access as a default method. Please use the
access method most convenient for you.
Menu Bar
The Map Designer menu bar provides the common menu structure including the
commands generally used with Windows programs as well as commands specific
to the Map Designer.
