Using Mouse Gestures

You can use a mouse gesture as a shortcut to execute a command, similar to a keyboard shortcut. Once you learn command mappings, you can use mouse gestures to invoke mapped commands quickly.

To activate a mouse gesture, from the graphics area, right-drag in one of four directions: up, down, left or right.

When you right-drag, a guide appears, showing the command mappings for the gesture directions. The guide highlights the command you are about to select.

  To cancel a mouse gesture, release the mouse within the mouse gesture guide.

You can customize up to eight gesture commands.

To view or edit the current mouse gesture assignments, click Tools > Mouse Gestures.
