Application Selection Area
This section discusses the Application Selection Area in the 2D version of SolidMesh. The
2D version of SolidMesh is invoked using either the -2D or -2d
command line option.
Descriptions of all of the commands under each heading are given in in
their corresponding sections of this document. If you have not used SolidMesh
before, read the section onSolidMesh Basics
before going any further.
The Application Selection Area has eight options, which are each, exceptColors,
described in detail in their own sections of this document. As you may
have read previously in the Basics section, there are Global Action Areas
within the program. You will find here that there are also Global CAD Areas
which appear in all three CAD Options' Application Areas. Links to the
sections of this document corresponding to each selection option are given
below in addition to a list of hot keys that may make your working
with SolidMesh much easier.

Hot Keys Hot Keys can be used at any time. There is not an option button available for the keys, nor are they in any specific area. This is just a list of keyboard commands you may use instead of picking specific buttons on the program screen. |
