Customizing Designer Pro 633

Mouse button function
Designer Pro gives you a range of possible actions when you click either the left or right
mouse buttons. For example, if you're left-handed, you may prefer to use the right-hand
button as the normal button. You would therefore assign the normal click to the right
mouse button (you can also set both buttons to have the same action if you wish).

Possible actions:

• Normal click - At least one button should always be assigned as the normal click.
• "Shift + click".
• "Ctrl + click".
• "Alt + click".
• Display a pop-up menu (see below).
• Toggle full-screen mode (described in Document Handling (on page 38)).
• Zoom in or out -click to zoom in, "Shift + click" to zoom out (described in Document
Handling (on page 39)).
• PUSHTOOL (as if you pressed "Shift + F8")

The pop-up menu contains options suitable for the object you click on. For example, for
most object types the menu contains CUT, COPY, PASTE, DELETE, DUPLICATE, CLONE
(these are described in Object Handling (on page 75)).

MOUSE WHEEL MOVEMENT: You can change the mouse wheel action here between
Scrolling and Zooming.

Click RESET DEFAULTS to return to the original button assignments. This has immediate
effect; you don't need to click OK or APPLY NOW.

The Windows Control Panel also lets you swap the left and right mouse buttons.
Magnetic Snap Radii

Snapping is described in Object Handling (on page 75).

These text boxes define how close you can drag an object before it snaps to a magnetic
object. These are distances on the screen and independent of any document scaling.
