(General Mode)
When a Layout Editor design is active, right-click in the design to open the Context Menu menu. There are multiple varieties of this menu depending on the type of design being edited (Circuit, HFSS 3D Layout, etc). The following descriptions are a superset of the commands that may appear on the Context Menu menu, though they may appear in different order on the menu than the order in which they are presented here. For more information, search the Help or use the Help Index to find information on any of the commands that appear on the Context Menu menu for the Layout Editor.
