The primary set of tools in the map window toolbar include the Select Tool, Zoom Tool, and Time Series Icon Tool. The tools change the appearance and functionality of the mouse when selected. Each tool has a tool tip that appears with information about the tool when you hover over it with the cursor. 

Select Tool - This 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 - This 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 - This 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 display the stream alignment in a Setup model map window, two additional tools become available: the Stream Alignment Tool and the Stream Node Tool.


Stream Alignment Tool - This 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 - This tool allows you to create and edit stream nodes and junctions that make up the stream alignment. Stream nodes are the beginning and ending points for each stream element. Stream nodes are also points where stream elements meet (stream junctions).
