Tablet Tools

This article describes tools and techniques to use STRATUS on a Tablet or iPad.

Multiple Part Selection and Assembly Selection

The Multiple Part Selection and the Assembly Selection options can be used by Tablet and iPad users to select multiple parts or assemblies in any of the Viewer pages. Both features work the same. Below is an example of how to use the Multiple Part Selection feature:

1. Click the Click to Change Settings gear icon and then select the Multiple Part Selection checkbox in the flyout.
2. Click either a part or space on the canvas and the flyout will disappear.
3. Click multiple parts and they will all be selected. Tools like those under Actions can be used once parts are selected.
   
   
   
4. Click in empty space to clear your part selections.

Assembly Viewer Toggle Orientation

2. Click the Toggle Orientation button (top right) to toggle the page layout.
   
   
   
   
3. The Parts list will re-orient under the 3D view and both views expand to the width of the tablet.
   
   
   
   
4. Click the Toggle Orientation button again to restore the side-by-side orientation.
