Provides access to the most frequently used object manipulation functions. To show and activate the shortcut menu, click the right mouse button on a selected object or group in the circuit window. All the options in this menu are found in the Edit menu, with Open and Hide as exceptions. Open is the same as right clicking or double-left clicking on an unselected component. If this is performed on a single component the Component dialog box, Connection dialog, Text dialog, Shape dialog, Picture dialog or Attachment dialog are opened. If the user selects open for a group of objects the Open Group dialog box is performed where the user can edit the common attributes for the group. Hide (Unhide toggle) works also for groups of objects and the first member of the group is used to indicate if the group is hidden or not.
