Undo: Undo of the last operation. Not all operations support Undo. Undo is a command that erases the last change done to the current job reverting it back to the preceding state. The opposite of undo is redo, please see above for details.

Redo: Redo of last Undo. The operation that has been reverted by a Undo-operation is re-done.

Move: moves the position of the selected entity or entities in the entity list. The sequence in the entity list determines the sequence of marking.

Delete: Deletes the selected entities.

Duplicate: Copies the selected entities and brings them to view level 1 of the Entity List. See also chapter Entity List.

ArrayCopy: This creates an array of copies of the selected entities (objects). See chapter ArrayCopy.

ArrayPolarCopy: This creates the specified number of copies of the selected entities (objects) arranged in a circular way. See chapter ArrayPolarCopy.

Select: Provides functions for selecting the enteties one by one, etc. Works in the first view level. You can select all, first, previous, next and last entity of your entity list in the job.

Group: Groups the selected entities and puts them into an entities group. See also chapter Object Hierarchy.

UnGroup: Ungroups the selected entities group. The view level of all entities inside the group will be decreased by one. See also chapter Object Hierarchy.

Align...: If at least two objects are selected they can be aligned with the border or center of their outlines. See also chapter Align and Spacing Toolbar.

Spacing...: If at least three objects are selected they can get evenly distributed inside their common outline which is possible in horizontal or vertical direction. To do more specific spacing see dialog Spacing Advanced.

Nudge...: Translates a selected object by a small step. The nudge step is user defined in Menu bar → Settings → System → View. The Nudge 10 functions use 10 times of the Nudge step for the translation.

Center...: Translates a selected object so that the center of the working area becomes the center of the object. You can center along horizontal, vertical or both axes.

Rehatch All: Rehatches all entities of the job using the hatch values that are specified for them. When an entity is hatched and afterwards e.g. scaled the hatch lines are influenced by this scaling operation and are no longer conform to the hatch parameters that have been set before. By calling this operation such modifications are removed and the original hatch values are restored.

Set Pen Number: Assigns a pen (1..10) to the current job.
