Right-click menu

Right-click the map to open a menu of actions for that spot. On a touch screen, press and hold the map instead.

The menu shows only what applies where you clicked:

Part	Shown
Copy coordinates, Zoom In, Zoom Out	Always.
Quick create and Create new Project	Always, to start a project at that spot.
Show county GIS layers here	With no project open.
Commit items	Over a parcel that isn't the project's yet.
Soil boundary actions	Over a soil boundary.
Features here	Over features you can select.

In print mode the menu lists only the features here, to change their label or look.

Create a project here

Right-click the parcel you want to design on, and choose one of:

Item	What it does
Quick create project from this parcel	Creates the project with your default settings and no setup steps. Over an empty spot it reads Quick create project here.
Quick create and Auto design	Creates the project the same way, then Auto design designs the system. See Smart Design and Auto Design.
Create new Project at clicked coordinates	Opens Create project on the parcel search at that spot, so you can check the parcel and set up the project.
Create new project from Parcel at clicked coordinates	The same, shown over a parcel from the county data.

See Start a project.

Copy coordinates and zoom

Copy coordinates (latitude, longitude) copies the latitude and longitude of the spot you clicked, to paste into a message, a form or the search bar.

Zoom In and Zoom Out zoom the map in or out one step.

County GIS layers

With no project open, Show county GIS layers here adds the GIS layers of the county at that spot to the map.

• The message says how many of the county's layers were added.
• The map zooms in: county layers show from zoom 17. Find them in the Layers panel.
• If the county has no layers yet, the message says so.

Commit parcels

A parcel becomes the project's parcel when you commit it. Committing adds its outline and setback buffers to the design. Right-click inside the parcel and choose:

Item	Shown when
Commit Drawn Parcel	You drew the parcel with the Parcel tool.
Commit Server Parcel	The parcel comes from the county parcel data.
Commit all Parcels at clicked coordinates	More than one parcel is at that spot.

The Commit window then asks how to use the parcel. See Change project parcels.

Soil boundary actions

Right-click a soil boundary, drawn or from the NRCS soil survey, to design in it. The menu shows the boundary's name and three actions:

Item	What it does
Check fit along contour	The longest usable contour in the boundary, and which systems fit.
Design system in this soil boundary	Pick a system that fits and place it on the contour.
Auto design in this soil boundary	The system that fits best, designed for you.

See Check fit along contour and Design in a soil boundary.

Features here

Features here lists every feature under the pointer, the top one first. It is the way to reach a feature hidden under another, such as a pipe under a bed.

Each row shows the feature's name and its layer, for example Force Main · Force Main or a parcel's number and Parcels. A click passes through means a click on the map goes past that feature to the one below it.

• Point at a row to outline that feature on the map.
• Click a row to select the feature, as Select would. The select tool turns on if it was off.
• Click the arrow at the end of a row for the feature's actions.

The arrow at the end of a row in Features here opens the actions for that feature.
