Right Press Menu

Included in MicroStation V8 XM Edition is a reset pop-up menu, which is invoked by pressing the reset mouse button. Included on this menu are lots of handy shortcuts which are relevant to the element you have clicked over. For instance for elements that are live in the active file, the menu includes shortcuts to the manipulate palette (Copy, Move, Scale, Rotate, Mirror) as well as the default Select All, Select None, Select Previous, Delete and Properties.

For other elements, such as those in references, some of the content of the pop-up menu changes to include options such as Exchange and Edit Reference.

There are settings to control the characteristics of the reset pop-up menu in the Input field of the user preferences dialog box. Here you can determine whether the pop-up menu is opened with a single click of the reset mouse button, or whether it requires the button to be pressed and held down for a short period. By adjusting the Hold Delay setting, you can also specify how long the button must be pressed before the menu appears.
