Many editing functions can be conveniently executed via the toolbar "Edit (see p. 25)". We

etc. Most menu commands are also available from the context menu.

into operation manuals and other documents.
The serial copy command (see p. 87) allows you to create multiple copies of a part.

Vertically and horizontally centers an object or a group of selected objects on the screen.
Groups or ungroups selected objects (see p. 24).
Calls up the "Select Character String/Graphic/Parts" dialog, which presents a list of all
objects on the base screen. This list is handy for seeing what exactly is on the base
screen or for selecting objects that are otherwise difficult to select or see.

If a custom part is selected, you can re-design the custom part. Select [OK] from the

When this menu command is active, the font size is proportionally changed together with
the part size.
