#### Summary Mode Command Shortcut Menu

When you select a command item in the Edit window's Summary Mode (see "Working in Summary Mode" in the "Using the Edit Window" section) and right-click on the command item, the command shortcut menu appears. This menu has the following options:

Option | Description
Edit | This option causes the dialog for the current object to be displayed.
Mark | This option toggles the mark state of the object for execution.
Delete | This option deletes the selected command and any sub-commands out of the part program.
Copy | This option copies the selected command to the Clipboard.
Cut | This option cuts the selected command to the Clipboard and removes the command from the part program.
Paste | This option pastes a command that was previously cut or copied from the Clipboard and places it below the selected command.
Group | This option inserts the list of contiguous selected commands into a user-defined group.
Collapse Groups | This option collapses all expanded user-defined groups. Other expanded items remain expanded.
Collapse All | This option collapses all expanded items.
Expand Command | This option expands the current command line and displays any data or group items associated with the selected command.
Add Command | This option allows you to add a command to the Edit window from an alphabetized scrollable list. STEP 1: Navigate through the list by typing the first few letters of the command. PC-DMIS automatically goes to that command. STEP 2: Select the command from the list.

STEP 3: Press either CTRL + ENTER or ENTER to place the new command into the Edit window.

Pressing CTRL + ENTER places the command after the command block used to open the shortcut menu..

Pressing ENTER places the command inside the command block used to open the shortcut menu. Using the ENTER key only functions in this manner if the command you are adding is a type of command that PC-DMIS allows to be inserted into another command block. Otherwise PC-DMIS inserts it after the current command.

Docking View | This menu option determines whether or not the Edit window is docked or undocked. If you deselect this option, the Edit window behaves like it did in previous versions of PC-DMIS, floating over the Graphics Display window. If you select this option, you will be able to dock the Edit window to the sides or top or bottom of the Graphics Display window.
Optimize Path | This menu option is enabled only when your portlock is programmed with the IP Measure option allowing you to work with inspection plans, measurement plans created using the PC-DMIS Planner application. This menu option lets you run the path optimization routine on a group of continuous selected feature commands. This sorts the features in the Edit window to generate the most optimal pathway to measure those features.

Selecting this menu item displays the Optimize Path dialog box. The Starting Feature is set to the first feature in the selected command block, and the Ending Feature is set to the last feature in the command block.

You can change the starting or ending feature by selecting a feature from the appropriate list or from the Graphics Display window.

Only features in the selected command block are available for the Start and End Feature.

See the "Using Inspection Plans in PC-DMIS" section for in-depth information on how to use this functionality.

Override FindNoms | This option overrides the default FindNoms behavior of PC-DMIS during Learn Mode and Execute mode. For more information, see "Overriding Found Nominals" in the "Editing a Part Program" section.
Center in Graphics Display | This option pans and rotates the part's CAD model as needed to center the current feature in the Graphics Display window. Once centered, the feature will flash a few times. You cannot undo this pan and rotate operation.
Selected Items Path Lines | This option shows only the path lines for a range of selected features. See "Showing, Animating, and Moving Path Lines" in the "Editing the CAD Display" section.
Test <Feature> | This menu option only appears when right-clicking on an auto feature. It performs a test execution of the selected auto feature. This functions the same as the Test button in the Auto Feature dialog box. Care should be taken when using this option as a probe collision may occur due to ignored clearance planes.
Move To <Feature> | This menu option only appears when right-clicking on an auto feature. It moves the probe to the center of the selected auto feature. This functions the same as the Move To button in the Auto Feature dialog box. Care should be taken when using this option as a probe collision may occur due to ignored clearance planes.
