When creating pictures, you can display a pop-up menu for that picture by right-clicking the picture name in the system tree, or by right-clicking any area in the picture outside of an object. The pop-up menu provides quick access to the picture's specific properties and animations, as well as common operations you can perform within the picture, such as selecting all objects.
The following table shows the functions that are available from the picture pop-up menu.
NOTE: Functions apply to both the Logical and Enhanced Coordinate Systems unless stated otherwise.
