Navigating a Magic Sheet

Magic sheets can be navigated using a mouse, a keyboard, a touchscreen, or a multi-touch touchscreen. The drag and drop function for placing objects is a single touch action or done using a mouse.

Additional mouse commands include:

• Left Click - selects an object.
• Right Click - pans the display.
• Wheel - zooms the magic sheet.
• [Shift] & Wheel - provides a fine zoom of the magic sheet.

Selecting from left to right will open the blue window selection box. This selects any object that is completely inside the box. This can be done with a single touch or using a mouse.

Selecting from right to left will open the green crossing selection box. This selects any object that either crosses the boundary line of the box or is completely inside of it. This can be done with a single touch or using a mouse.
