Main Menu

The Main Menu Panel contains a combination of controls such as menu items, buttons, and combo boxes. It is context-sensitive, which means that its content changes according to the actual working mode.

The most important working modes are: #1 Selection/Transform, #2 Node Editing, and #3 Lettering. The items of the main menu in these modes are described in detail in their respective chapters, including this one.
