Mouse and touch gestures

Use gestures in the Design windowArea in the user interface that displays your model or assembly. Also known as Workspace. as shortcuts to common actions and tools. Gesture information is displayed in the status bar as you use gestures.

• To gesture with a mouse, hold down the right mouse button and drag in the gesture pattern.
• To gesture with a touchscreen or touchpad, touch with two fingers, pause, then drag in the gesture pattern. With a pen, touch and drag in the gesture pattern with the pen button pressed.
• To cancel a gesture, pause for one second.

If you have upgraded DS Mechanical from a previous version and some of these gestures don't work for you, then you may need to remove your user settings file. On Windows 7™ and Windows Vista™, remove the files and folders in C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\DS Mechanical.
