General Commands

All the Carlson module menus share seven of the same pull-down menus which are:

1. File
2. Edit
3. View
4. Draw
5. Inquiry
6. Settings
7. Points

These menus (along with Window and Help) form a "core" group of commands which can be accessed regardless of the Carlson module that is being used. The common pull-down menus contain general commands that are applicable within all the modules. Many of these commands are AutoCAD or IntelliCAD commands which are described in your CAD Reference manual. The Carlson commands located in the common pull-down menus are explained in the next sections.

Note:

• Within a module, other pull-down menus (typically three or four) are often specific to the module but certain commands (e.g. Triangulate & Contour) may be found in several modules.

File Menu

The set of commands varies slightly between the CAD platforms and versions.
