3.4 Mouse Actions

XTrkCad uses the left and right mouse buttons when manipulating tracks and other objects on the layout. Their meaning depends on the particular command but in general:

Left-Click - selects an object or an endpoint.

Left+Drag - modifies an object, such as extending it.

Right-Click - displays a pop-up menu of commands.

Shift+Right-Click - displays a pop-up menu of command options (for some commands).

Rotate Wheel - zooms drawing area in and out.

When Moving and Rotating ( Placing Turnouts and Structures, Moving the Print and Snap Grids, ... ):

(Left+Drag) - moves the objects or grid.

(Right+Drag) - rotates the objects or grid about the pivot point, which is the point you started the drag operation.

Some commands use the Shift or Ctrl key to modify the meaning of button presses.
