About Shortcut Menus

Display a shortcut menu for quick access to commands that are relevant to your current activity.

You can display shortcut menus when you right-click different areas of the screen. Shortcut menus typically include options to

• Display the controls for a user-interface element such as a palette, the status bar, or the ViewCube
• Control the command in progress, including command options, object snaps, and canceling
• Display a list of recent input or repeat the last command entered
• Cut, copy, and paste from the Clipboard
• Display a dialog box, such as Drafting Settings or Preferences
• Undo the last command entered

n the Application Preferences dialog box (the OPTIONS command), you can customize right-click behavior to be time sensitive, so that a quick right-click acts the same as pressing Enter, and a longer right-click displays a shortcut menu.
