Figure: Map Toolbar

The Map Toolbar ("Figure: Map Toolbar") is located to the left of the Map Display area and contains a column of buttons. Each of these buttons changes the functionality (behavior) of your mouse cursor (tool) in the map display area, effectively changing your mouse into different map tools. Each tool button (a.k.a, tool) displays an icon to illustrate its purpose. The set of tools available in the Map Toolbar changes depending of the current module; however, the first three tools on the Map Toolbar and their functionality are common to all three modules. These tools are:

Pointer icon Pointer/Selector Tool—use this tool to select schematic elements in the map display and to edit, rename, and delete them. To access the context (pop-up) menu of any schematic element, select the Pointer/Selector Tool, click the right mouse button (right-click) on an element, and a (module and element appropriate) list of functions will appear beside the element in the map space.

Zoom tool icon Zoom Tool—use this tool to zoom your view of the map space in and out. To zoom in, hold the left mouse button down and drag a "box" to outline the area you want to zoom in on. To zoom out, right-click in the display area; the view will zoom out in intervals.

If your mouse has a wheel, the zoom tool is not required for zooming—just click in the Map Display area and roll the wheel up to zoom out and down to zoom in.

Pan tool icon Pan Tool—this tool can be used to move (pan) the display area when zoomed in. To pan, with the cursor in the map display area, hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse in the direction you would like to pull the display area. Note: when zoomed in, scroll bars appear at the bottom and right edges of the map display. These scroll bars can also be used to pan the display without switching to the Pan tool.
