The Action Panel includes features such as the ability to add a new page,
define an area, flip the area vertically or horizontally, copy the perimeter of
an area, and more. The Actions panel is essentially intended to replace
the right-click menus - anything that would normally require you to right-click
in order to modify has now been added to the Properties or Actions panel for convenience.
Page
When nothing is selected in your sketch, the Page Actions
are displayed in the Actions panel. Page Actions include options for your
sketch such as adding a new page or choosing
a background image.
Area
When an Area is selected, the following options are available:
- Define Area — Opens the Define
Areas window.
- Switch Wall Direction — Allows you to switch the
direction the walls are drawn in.
- Bring to Front — If two elements overlap each other in
your sketch, this option moves the selected area in front of the other
elements.
- Send to Back — If two elements overlap each other in your
sketch, this option sends the area that is currently selected behind the other
elements.
- Flip Vertically — Flips the selected area vertically.
- Flip Horizontally — Flips the selected area horizontally.
- Copy Perimeter — Copies the perimeter of the selected
area, allowing you to paste it elsewhere in the sketch.
- Delete — Deletes the selected area.
- Hide Dimensions — Hides the dimension text for the
selected area.
Symbols
When a symbol is selected, the Actions panel presents the following
options:
- Flip Vertically — Flips the selected symbol vertically.

horizontally.
- Bring to Front — If two elements overlap each other in
your sketch, this option moves the selected symbol in front of the other
elements.

other elements.

currently selected. Simply click the desired location on your sketch to place
