This section describes different mouse techniques that you can use throughout all of the Maxsurf applications.

Maxsurf supports several right click mouse actions. Right clicking on selected objects brings up a so called “right click menu” that lists the most commonly used commands applicable to that object. For example after right clicking on a surface in the Assembly Pane can give you quick access to the Surface Properties:

Using right clicking can greatly speed up your work.

You can use the mouse wheel to easily zoom into and out of a design. You can use this feature if you have a mouse with a ‘wheel’ in the centre of the mouse, i.e. Microsoft Intellimouse or Logitech Wheelmouse.

Rolling the wheel forward zooms in and rolling it backwards zooms out. When zooming in with the mouse wheel, the zooming will be centred on the centre of the drawing window. To zoom in on a particular area, View | Zoom or Ctrl + E must be used.

Holding down the mouse wheel to pan is also supported.
