General commands
To get you started in Topocad there are a few things that are useful to know.
Right mouse button
A right click can be used at all times. This is an intelligent feature and it knows whether or not you have selected objects, whether you are currently executing a command etc. and will always try to provide the most appropriate commands for the situation. For example you can see these commands when you right click in a drawing:
This is also what you will see when you don't have any objects selected.
When you have selected an object and click on the right mouse button a different menu appears.
When selecting a command we will see a further menu when clicking the right mouse button. First and foremost the Snap function appeared here and also as an icon in the menu to the left. The snap function follows by the most common screen commands and after that the most common commands of the Modify command you selected.
