Secondary Menu

The secondary menu is a list of panels that can be accessed by using the function keys F1 through F12, or in combination with the SHIFT or CTRL keys. The secondary menu allows you to use panels that add information necessary to complete the currently active panel.

When you use the secondary menu, it interrupts the active panel and allows you to perform a function in the secondary panel, and upon completion, to continue using the initial panel. Entities selected while in the secondary panel are still selected when you return to the initial panel.

The default secondary panels are as follows:

Key	Function key only	plus SHIFT key	plus CTRL key
F1	hidden line	color	print slide
F2	delete	temp nodes	slide file
F3	replace	edges	print eps
F4	distance	translate	create eps file
F5	mask	find	print b/w eps
F6	element edit	split	create JPEG file
F7	align node	project	Full Screen mode
F8	create node	node edit
F9	line edit	surf edit
F10	check element	normals
F11	geometry quick edit	organize
F12	automesh	smooth

Note:

Function keys may be reassigned to different panels by using the Build Menu panel.
