<div class="Body">In addition to the main Grid Manager edit tool
|
|
actions,
|
|
the Mouse Button 3 (MB3) pop-up menu offers many more edit operations.
|
|
When using these operations, keep in mind that they apply to a single
|
|
grid
|
|
(or place-holder for a grid) - the grid under the cursor - when you
|
|
perform
|
|
the operation. Operations include deleting, fragmenting,
|
|
splitting,
|
|
copying, and pasting a grid. Other edit operations permit
|
|
assigning
|
|
values to a grid, creating a grid from scratch, and running selected
|
|
smart
|
|
tools on the grid. Refer to the <a
|
|

|
|
Manager Button 3 Popups documentation</a> for more details.</div>
