Draftsight Tutorial: Using the mouse gesture
The Mouse Gesture is a way of combining pointing device movements and clicks which DraftSight recognizes as a specific command. Mouse gestures can provide quick access to common functions of a program. They can also be useful for people who have difficulties typing commands.
To access the Mouse Gesture wheel, hold the Right Mouse Button down, and move the mouse in the desired direction. To cancel the Mouse Gesture, release the Right Mouse Button while the pointing device is within the inner ring.
In DraftSight you have the option of having 4 or 8 Mouse Gestures available. Or, you can disable Mouse Gestures all together if that’s what you want. The default commands when using 4 Mouse Gestures are: Zoom Bounds, Line, Save and Open. The additional default commands on the 8 Mouse Gesture wheel are: Trim, SimpleNote, Move and Offset.
