Mouse controls

 

Current Mouse Position

The status bar at the bottom of the screen displays the current mouse position relative to the origin of the currently active component.  All coordinates are normal to the screen. 

 

On Screen Measurements

Right click and move for on screen measurements.  This is an easy way to get an approximate measurement from the drawing window.  All measurements are normal to the screen.  The status bar at the bottom of the GearTeq window displays all measurements.

 

Mouse wheel

Wheel up and down scales the view of the components.  All scaling is done from the center of the screen, not the mouse position.  Pan the geometry to the center of the screen then use the mouse wheel to enlarge or reduce the view scale.  The direction of the mouse wheel is controllable by a setting in the Options menu.

 

Middle Mouse Button (wheel)

Drag the view with the middle button held down.  The wheel can be rotated at the same time to zoom the view.
