\S{cmdAboveBelow} Above and Below

\G{png.d/btop_bottom.png}

The Above/Below commands move the selected objects (\K{cmdSelect}) into the \f{Foreground} or \f{Background} making them more or less visible or prominent.

The effect is to make the objects appear in front or behind other objects.  This command is most useful when dealing with filled shapes (\K{cmdDraw}).

Selected objects moved to the \f{Background} become unselected.

\rule


\S{addshortcutkeys} \i{Additional Shortcut Keys}

Additional Shortcut keys perform the following:

\dd \e{Shift+Backspace} - Undo

\u000

\dd \e{Ctrl+Insert} - Copy

\u000

\dd \e{Shift+Insert} - Paste

\u000

\dd Shift+Delete - Cut

\u000

\dd Esc - Deselect All

\rule


\S{cmdDelete} Delete

\G{png.d/bdelete.png}

The \f{Delete} button is used to delete selected objects.  Remember, the \f{Undo} (\K{editM} or \K{cmdUndo}) command can be used to restore a delete object.

Deleting a track that is connected to an easement (\K{cmdEasement}) causes the easement to be deleted as well.

The \f{Delete} key invokes the Delete command.

\rule


\S{cmdTunnel} Tunnel (Hide Tracks)

\G{png.d/btunnel.png}

The \f{Tunnel} command is used to hide selected (\K{cmdSelect}) tracks (as in a tunnel).

Select the tracks you want to hide in a tunnel.  Selecting a hidden track 'reveals' it.

A tunnel portal is drawn where a hidden track connects with an 'unhidden' track.  You can split (\K{cmdSplitTrack}) a track to place a tunnel portal at a particular spot.

The \f{Draw Tunnels} Radio button group on the \f{Options>Display} dialog (\K{cmdDisplay}) controls whether hidden tracks are not drawn, drawn as dashed lines or drawn as normal lines.

\rule


\S{cmdUndo} Undo and Redo

\G{png.d/bgundo.png}

The \f{Undo} and \f{Redo} buttons invoke the same actions as the \f{Edit} menu items.  The name of last command will be displayed as the Balloon Help (\K{windowTerms}) for the \e{Undo} button.  The name of last undone command will be displayed as the Balloon Help for the \e{Redo} button.
