As well as the standard Windows mouse operations such as selection and dragging, OrcaFlex uses some specialised actions. Clicking the right mouse button over a 3D view, graph or text window displays a popup menu of frequently used actions, such as copy, paste, export etc. For wire frame 3D views and graph windows the mouse can be used to zoom: hold the ALT key down and, with the left mouse button, drag a box over the region you want to view.
A number of frequently used menu items may also be accessed by shortcut keys, such as CTRL+R to start a replay. See the tables below. The shortcut keys are also displayed on the OrcaFlex menus. We suggest that, as you become more familiar with the operation of OrcaFlex, you memorise the shortcut keys for the actions that you use most frequently.
