Standard Keyword Top Level Menu Options
Standard Keyword Top Level Menu Options
Most of the KEYWORD options have a set of standard options. The exact contents may vary slightly with context, but the basic functionality is the same in all cases.
|
This figure shows a standard display, here for
ELEMENT_SOLID
keywords, but it is the same for any item type. Currently Modify is
the selected option. Selecting any of the other buttons will switch
to that option.
These "standard operations" options are: |
|
|
| Create | Create a new item | |
| Copy | Copy existing items | |
| Modify | Edit (modify) an existing item. | |
| Delete | Delete one or more existing items. | |
| Keyword | Invoke the generic keyword editor | |
| Sketch | Sketch existing items on top of the current image. | |
| List | List a summary of the contents of existing items. | |
| Check | Check items for errors. | |
| Renumber | Change the labels of items. | |
Not all options will be available in all contexts, for example and will not be available where specific editing/creation functions do not yet exist in PRIMER , and not all types have a editor.

Operations requiring an explicit "Parent"
model id.
If you have more than one model in memory, and the operation in question requires an explicit "parent" model id, then you will be forced to select a model prior to the operation taking place. For example when you CREATE an element it must exist in one model only so, in the multiple model case, you will be asked to select which model to use. If only one model is current it will be used automatically and this selection stage will be skipped |
