Chapter 4: Quick Start
Using the Mouse
When a board is created or opened by means of the New Dialog or by opening a saved le, a window will
appear in the work area to display the piece. These mouse controls may be used to manipulate it:

Mouse
Figure 4�4� Windows Keyboard (Part) Figure 4�5� Macintosh Keyboard (Part)
Left Button: Performs the appropriate left-click action for the currently selected tool, as indicated by the
cursor shape (See Cursor Shapes below). Visit the Tools Quick Reference topic for quick information about the
available tools�
CTRL + Left Button [z + Click]: Hold the CTRL key down while left-clicking in order to perform the
alternate function of the currently selected tool. For instance, holding CTRL down will allow for multiple item
selection while the Pointer Tool is selected.
SHIFT + Left Button: Hold the SHIFT key down, then click and drag in order to zoom the board by dragging it
down (towards you) or up (away from you). A board may also be zoomed by means of the Magnifying Glass on
the View tool bar.
1 to 3 ratio
Most mouses today have a three
button setup (left, right, and middle).
However most Macs come with a
single button mouse (the “middle”
button on the mouse to the right
initiates the dashboard which stills make it a
single button mouse).
This manual is written from the Three
button mouse perspective. Single button mouse
users can use the ‘CTRL’ button + click to get
right-click functions. Single button instructions
are indicated by brackets. Not all mouse
functionality from the Three button mouse is
re-creatable on the Single button mouse.
Apple has a 3 button mouse on the market
for MAC Users. Consult your local Apple
retailer.
