Most of your communications with solidThinking require you to use the mouse or the keyboard. When you move the mouse, a cursor on the screen matches any movement.
The left mouse button is the standard button for most interactions, but the right button (Apple key + mouse button on the Mac) is also used frequently.
You issue commands by pressing the mouse button when you are over some area of the screen. Commands respond differently depending on how you press the button.
Basic mouse actions can be summarized as follows:
Clicking. Pressing the left mouse button and releasing it immediately. This action is also called Picking when it is used, for example, to select a point or an object.
Double-Clicking. Pressing the left mouse button twice in quick succession.
Clicking-and-Dragging. Pressing the left mouse button and holding it down while moving the mouse button to a new screen position. Release the button to stop. This action is also called Picking-and-Dragging.
