Graphical Input with a Mouse

The default button mapping listed in the Button Mappings dialog are appropriate for a two-button mouse, and allow you to simulate having a third mouse button:

The Data button, which is used to enter data points, is mapped to the left-hand mouse button.
The Reset button, which is used for resetting and for accessing the Reset pop-up menu and the view control pop-up menu, is mapped to the right-hand mouse button.
The Tentative button, which is used to enter tentative snap points , is invoked by clicking the left-hand and right-hand mouse buttons at the same time. This is called a button "chord" and serves as a third button.

If you are using a three-button mouse, you may want to change Tentative to use a single button (rather than the two-button chord) for faster operation.

Note: If you are using a mouse driver that allows you to make button assignments, you must set them back to their default settings. If you do not, your mouse driver's button assignments will override your ConstructSim Planner button assignments.

Note: Some mouse devices with three or more buttons require additional configuration in Windows to be recognized appropriately. For specific details select Help > Online Support.
