Context Menus


Clicking on an icon in the Control Panel with the right mouse button opens a context menu which allows the following actions:

Open

Opens an editor window with this file.

Print...

Prints the file to the system printer. See the chapter on printing to the system printer for more information on how to use the print dialogs. The Print... command appears only for boards, schematics, scripts and ULPs.

Printing a file through this context menu option will always print the file as it is on disk, even if you have an open editor window in which you have modified the file! Use the PRINT command to print the drawing from an open editor window.
Please note that polygons in boards will not be automatically calculated when printing via the context menu! Only the outlines will be drawn. To print polygons in their calculated shape you have to load the drawing into an editor window, enter RATSNEST and then PRINT.

Copy...

Opens a file dialog in which you can enter a name to which to copy this file.

Rename...

Opens a file dialog in which you can enter a name to which to rename this file.

Delete

Deletes the file (you will be prompted to confirm that you really want this to happen).
