Network editor context menu

The context menu in a network editor can display different features. They depend on whether network objects have been selected, you right-click a network object, or right-click a section in which no network object has been inserted.

Commands that do not depend on a previous selection of objects

You can always perform the following functions via the context menu, regardless of whether you click with the right mouse button on a network object or whether network objects are selected:

Add <network object type>: Add a network object of the type selected in the Network objects toolbar, if the network object does not have to be added to another network object. Possible options are links, areas or nodes.
Paste: Paste network objects that you have copied to the Clipboard.
Read Additionally Here: Read a network file *.inpx additionally.
Show List: Open the network objects list of the network object type that is selected on the Network Objects toolbar.
Map this Point to Background Position: Specify a point in the background map as a reference point (Mapping Vissim network to background position).
