3.4.10 Managing objects using manager menus

Like managers, pull-down menus from the main menu bar allow you to manage all the objects defined in the current model or session.

To manage objects using menus:

  1. From the main menu bar, select one of the following:

    • To manage objects associated with a module, select the manager menu items in the appropriate menu in the main menu bar. For example, to edit a material in the Property module you would select MaterialEditmaterial of your choice from the main menu bar.

    • To manage objects associated with a toolset, select the appropriate manager menu items in the Tools menu. For example, to delete a set, you would select ToolsSetDeleteset of your choice from the main menu bar.

    • To manage all the models defined in the current model database, select the manager menu items in the Model menu in the main menu bar. For example, to copy a model, you would select ModelCopymodel of your choice from the main menu bar.

    In most cases a dialog box appears; for example, when you rename an object, a dialog box appears that asks for the new name of the object.

  2. If a dialog box appears, provide the requested information and click OK.

Tip:  You can also use manager dialog boxes to manage objects. For more information, see Managing objects using manager dialog boxes, Section 3.4.9.
