 | Although most of the interactions within VariCAD are obvious, the system provides some additional conveniences you may not know about: |
 | Consider right-click behavior during 2D/3D location input, objects selection etc... By default, right-click is the same as Enter, while Ctrl + right-click or right+left click opens pop-up menu with currently available options. Use command "cfg" to change the settings. length of cursor movement. |
 | If you need to enter any value, like a distance or angle, you can enter a mathematical expression instead of a single value. If supported in 3D, the expression can contain new or existing parameters. |
 | During 2D location input, for example drawing lines, circles or any objects, you can press TAB to enter coordinates, angles or lengths from keyboard. (Repeatedly pressed TAB shifts the focused input field). This method allows you easily draw a line with exactly defined length, or under defined angle, etc.. |
 | If you right-click a highlighted 2D object during 2D location or a highlighted 3D object during 3D location, pop-up menu is displayed. You can select a location at end-point, mid-point, circle center or other options directly from menu. If you right-click a transformed object during 3D solid transformation, pop-up menu offers you also changes of insertion point. |
 | During dimension text location, you can press TAB to change current dimension text or tolerances. (Repeatedly pressed TAB shifts the focused input field between dimension text and tolerances). |
 | If your mouse has additional side buttons (used, for instance for step backward or forward in browsers), in VariCAD these buttons act the same as Ctrl+Z or Ctrl+Y. Ctrl+Z performs one step back within a command. Between commands, Ctrl+Z performs undo edit and Ctrl+Y performs redo edit. |
 | To disable automatic objects detection temporarily during 2D or 3D dragging, press and hold F1 or press and hold left mouse button while moving cursor. To disable automatic detection temporarily during location input, press and hold F2. Sometimes, automatic objects detection may interfere with dragging, if exactly defined cursor increments are used. |
 | You can vastly configure behavior of VariCAD using 'cfg' command, for instance using right mouse button, displaying coordinates near cursor, methods of file conversions etc.. |
