IRRICAD incorporates a number of keyboard and mouse shortcuts that help to speed up the operation of various tools. Here is a selection of these that you may find useful:-
  • Double-clicking on an item when in Select Object operates the change tool on the item.
  • To bring up the change dialog, for a Block Entity, hold down the <Alt> key while clicking on any child component of the block entity.
  • If you using the Select Object tool in “Single Select” mode, (see Settings|Mouse) you can hold down the <Shift> key to highlight subsequent items.
  • In “Single Select” mode clicking empty space clears the current selection.
  • Pressing the <Esc> key twice in quick succession clears the current selection and returns you to the default Select Object tool.
  • Redrawing a large design may be stopped by pressing the <Esc> key.
  • To place control valves and mainline outlets without having to view and [OK] the Zone Name dialog, hold the <Shift> key down when clicking to locate them. The default zone name will automatically be accepted and the dialog will not appear.
  • All Copy tools have a “no dialog” shortcut, which repeats the last copy without showing the dialog each time. To action, hold the <Shift> key for the 2nd and subsequent copies.
