LINEAR Properties

Opens the LINEAR- Properties dialog that displays the component parameters of the elements currently selected in the drawing with their parameter values. If necessary, you can adjust the parameter values via this dialog.

QuickLayer

Opens the QuickLayer dialog where you can conveniently manage the layers of your project.

Select components with layer structure filter

Opens the Select components with filter dialog, in which you can filter components according to certain criteria, e.g. in order to edit them together.

Select pipeline or duct sections

The command allows you to select sections of pipe or duct networks comfortably and quickly in the planning type 3D - Model planning. After activating the command, you can choose between the following options by clicking in the command line or by entering the initial letter followed by confirmation:


Option	Description
Path	You can select the complete path between the two components by specifying a start and end component.
Network	You can select the complete network side of a network from the start component by specifying a start component and then selecting a component on the corresponding side of the network.

Reports

Opens the Reports dialog where you can find all messages (reports) that have occurred in the current drawing so far. The button is only visible if there are any reports.

Delete report symbols

Removes all report symbols from the drawing. The button is only visible if there are any reports.

Activate/deactivate construction layer

A separate, magenta-colored construction layer is automatically created and activated with a click. You can draw auxiliary constructions on this layer. Another click deactivates the construction layer and activates the last used layer.

Empty construction layer

Deletes the content of the construction layer.

Configuration

Opens the Configuration dialog to set basic pre-settings for the program.

Context help
