Context menu

Right-click a region. The menu is for that block, or for the whole selection when several are selected. Right-clicking a region that was not selected selects it first.

The region context menu open on a math assignment, showing Evaluate, Copy, Add slider, conditional formatting, and Delete.
Right-click a math assignment. Evaluate and Copy are always offered; sliders and formatting only appear on math.

On any region

Evaluate recomputes this region. Copy does the same job as Home → Copy. Delete at the foot of the menu removes the selection.

On a math region

ItemWhen it appears
Show Explicit, Hide ExplicitOn a formula that uses other worksheet variables. Inserts a read-only copy of the right-hand side with each name replaced by its current value and unit — c := a/b = 1 becomes c := a/b = 2mm/2mm = 1. Values update when the sheet re-evaluates.
Convert to input box, Convert to mathOn a simple name := number assignment (optional unit). Select several and convert them together — the input fields then align. See Input boxes. When the sheet is not format-locked, click the unit (or the faint “unit” placeholder) to change or add one — the number is left as typed.
Add slider…, Edit slider…, Remove sliderOn an assignment that uses :=. Set min, max, and step; Remove slider shows once one is attached.
Edit conditional formatting…Always on math. Colour the answer from rules, then Enable or Disable conditional formatting from the same menu.
Reset unitsWhen you have pinned a display unit on the result chip. With several regions selected the label carries the count.
Copy variable addressSigned in, on a saved assignment. Paste it into the Inventor add-in or the HTTP API to read or set that value.
Export matrix to CSV…When the answer is a matrix.

On other types

  • A list offers Edit list and variables… when it is the only region selected.
  • A summary table or section table offers Export to Excel…
  • A plot offers Remove all pins, once you have dropped value pins on the chart.

On a multi-selection

Align left, Align center, and Align right line the boxes up. With two or more input boxes selected, Align input lines up the inner white fields by changing the space after := and after the unit; the outer frames stay put. Convert to input box on a multi-selection of numeric assignments converts them all and then aligns those fields. Resize all to shortest and Resize all to longest set every region to one width, and both labels quote the pixel width you are about to get.

On empty paper

The canvas has a menu of its own: Insert Math Region, Insert Text Region, Insert Plot Region, Insert Line (main sheet only), Insert List, Insert Parametric Table, Insert Summary Table, Insert 2D Frame, Insert 3D Frame, and Import Picture…, each placed where you clicked. Remove space pulls everything at or below that point up until the gap closes.

Next in the outline is Math — assignments, units, conversion, sliders, and lists.
