The new context menus meet the requirements of an ergonomic user interface:

• Quick access to functions

• Clear organization and structure

• Reduced number of functions according to the current situation

• Visual recognition through icons and text

• Availability of help texts

• Use of standards

• No confusion when using other software simultaneously

• Faster learning and easier switching between software

• Short eye and mouse movements

• No need to look back and forth, more comfortable focus on the current task

• Especially important on large CAD monitors

• Modern appearance

Particularly noteworthy:

• The context menus are structured in groups, so commands can be found quickly even with a large number of options. No clicking is required: Groups and menus open when the mouse hovers over the relevant area.

• Commands are easily recognizable thanks to clear icons and short descriptions. Help text is displayed for further explanation when the mouse hovers briefly over the menu item.

• Commands are easily identifiable through intuitive icons and short descriptions. * The context menus offer functions for editing the currently selected object. They also provide functions related to that object, particularly for creating new objects of that type.

• If no object is selected, right-clicking in an empty space opens the basic menu, offering functions for creating initial objects or accessing general functions. This allows you to start directly with context menus and their context-sensitive functionality, even in a new build.

• Another important menu is the control menu, which can be accessed at any time by right-clicking and moving the mouse to the right. It is independent of the currently selected objects and offers functions that should always be available, such as measurement functions, volume information, etc.

• All commands are supplemented in the recently used commands menu. This menu is accessed by right-clicking and moving the mouse downwards. The most recently used command is listed at the top and can be selected immediately. The list also includes other previously used commands, as command combinations are often repeated.

• • ... ### UI26 Standard Mouse Operation

Mouse operation has been adapted to general standards:

• No confusion when using other software simultaneously. Many Dietrich's users also work with other software. The different mouse behavior is very tiring.

• Faster learning and easier switching between software. For new users, who usually already have experience with other software, a significant hurdle is reduced if they can work with the mouse in the familiar way.

Note: Users who do not wish to switch to the new standard can revert to Dietrich's Classic input.

UI26 Preselection

Preselection is an absolute standard in CAD systems, as well as in text and spreadsheet applications:

• First, select what you want to edit.

• Then, call up the function from the reduced function selection.

Note: Users who do not wish to switch to the new standard can revert to Dietrich's Classic input. Advantages:

• Ergonomic, "natural" workflow

• Focus on a specific area on the screen by accessing the context menu

Particularly noteworthy:

• Simply pressing the Shift key toggles selection and deselect. This allows you to quickly create more complex selections, for example, by selecting the entire window and then deselecting individual objects.

• The mouse cursor indicates whether you can select or deselect.

• The preview shows what will be selected or deselected when you click the mouse button. This allows you to achieve the desired result directly, without repeated trial and error.

• A special feature is the "Similar" selection, which can be set before clicking the mouse button. The preview displays objects that match the "Similar" criteria, which can then be selected with a single click.

• To deselect all currently selected items, perform the gesture "click right mouse button + move left," eliminating the need to use the keyboard. Alternatively, you can press the ESC key.
