eta/DYNAFORM functions are accessible via the left mouse button. To access a function, the user moves the mouse cursor to select the desired function, following by depressing the left mouse button. In certain functions, the middle mouse button is used to complete operations, such as creating a line and selecting nodes or elements. The right mouse button is used to cancel some function. These three buttons can also be used with CTRL, SHIFT and ALT keys respectively for rotation, translation and scaling. For complicated models, eta/DYNAFORM provides the Feature Line mode and point cloud mode to accelerate the model display.
