To select a menu option, click the left mouse button on the main menu option and then click the left mouse button on the required pulldown menu option. If this menu option has some more menu options, click the left mouse button on one of those menu options to select it. As an example, if you want to access "ISO Rear" from the "Set View" option of the "View" pulldown menu, click the left mouse button on "View" in the main menu, then on "Set View", then on "Standard Views" and then on "ISO Rear".
Most Main Menu functions are capable of being accessed using the keyboard by pressing the Alt-key and the letter underlined in that function's name. For example, by pressing the Alt-key and V-key simultaneously, this opens the View menu.Below is the layout of Main Menus and Sub-Menus within 3DCS.
