point, keep the mouse button down and drag to desired length/width. Some components

can be stretched immediately when they are been placed on the drawing area.

Components can also be rotated by clicking on a snap point, keeping the mouse button
pressed down and dragging the mouse pointer in the direction in which you want to rotate

the component (following one of the curved arrows).

Double clicking <-> Right clicking

For some components in Configura, double-clicking on them evokes a special feature or

behavior. This could be the door of a cabinet component opening, a newspaper component
going from open to closed etc. If a component does not have such a special behavior built

in to it, the double-click will simply open its Settings dialog.

The majority of the components in Configura have a dialog where settings can be made

after positioning on the drawing area. You always access the Settings dialogs by right

clicking on the component on the drawing area and choosing Settings from the pop-up
menu.

Useful commands in the program, such as Undo, Redo, Delete, Copy and Paste, are

also available from the pop-up menu, which appears when you right click on the activated
component. They also appear on the toolbar and as shortcut keys (Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y etc.).

Importing and Exporting

Apart from the specific FlexLink imports and exports (which will be described in the

chapters Company Menu and Exporting Options in the Print Dialog), Configura’s Import
and Export tab contains a number of useful features for importing and exporting drawing

information (dwf, dxf etc.). For more information about these options, go to the Configura

Help (reached from the Help menu or by pressing F1).
