Mouse buttons

In Cimatron the three mouse buttons are used separately, in combination with each other and with keyboard keys to perform a variety of functions.

Mouse buttons can be customized to perform various tasks. See Customizing Mouse Buttons and Customizing ZPR (Zoom, Pan and Rotate) operations.
