The primary set of tools in the map window toolbar includes the Select Tool, Zoom Tool, and Time Series Icon Tool. The tools change the appearance and functionality of the mouse. Other tools appear in the toolbar depending on which module has been selected. Each tool's functions are described in context in other chapters of the manual.
Select Tool
The Select Tool allows you to select elements in the map window. Also, after zooming in, the user can use the Select Tool to pan.
Zoom Tool
The Zoom Tool allows you to zoom in and out of the map window. To zoom in, hold the mouse button down and outline the area that needs to be enlarged. Right-click to zoom out.
Time Series Icon Tool
The Time Series Icon Tool allows you to select time series icons (Time Series Icons and Time Series Icons Layers) on the map window. To select multiple icons, hold down the SHIFT key, and click on the time series icons that need to be selected. You can access commands related to a time series icon by right-clicking on the time series icon.
When you request to display the stream alignment in a Setup model map window, two additional tools become available that are pertinent to only the stream alignment:
Stream Alignment Tool
The Stream Alignment Tool allows you to create, delete, and edit stream elements that make up the stream alignment (Stream Alignment). A stream alignment is a representation of the stream network in the watershed.
Stream Node Tool
The Stream Node Tool allows you to create and edit stream nodes and junctions that make up a stream alignment (Stream Alignment). Stream nodes are the beginning and ending points for each stream element. Stream nodes are points where stream elements meet (stream junctions).
