Mouse gestures

With Select active, click an object to select it. Use the current selection modifiers to add or remove objects. When a drawing tool is active, follow its Tool Guide: clicks and drags place the geometry that tool requests rather than performing ordinary object selection.

Select an object and double-click to open its supported editing context. A closed group opens first; a structure, component, 3D solid, text object or 2D path can open a different editor. Locked objects cannot be opened for editing.

Use H for Pan or hold Space for temporary pan. Scroll over the canvas to zoom toward the pointer. Horizontal wheel input or Shift with the wheel pans horizontally in the plan. Return to Select with V when ready to select objects.

Middle-drag orbits the 3D camera; right-drag pans it. Scroll zooms toward the point under the cursor. Use Navigate → Set orbit center to choose a deliberate orbit pivot instead of assuming that any selection click resets the pivot.

Use Home for the default framed view, or the fitting actions in Zoom. In 3D, open Navigate → Navigation help → Mouse for the current navigation gestures and Reset camera. Navigation controls differ while walking or while a Presentation drone owns the camera.

Use your mouse’s secondary click for contextual actions. Available actions depend on the object, current editor and selection. A right-button drag used for camera panning is not the same as a stationary context-menu click.
