Quick Reference
This Quick Reference combines the Command Reference and Keyboard Shortcuts. It provides a list of all commands in ES Designer which can be accessed via menus, toolbar icons, menu chart, as well as access and shortcut keys.
Introduction
All commands in ES Designer can be accessed via the various menus, both dropdown and popup, toolbar icons, menu chart (for use with digitizing tablets), as well as access and shortcut keys. Many commands can be accessed by more than one method. The Command Reference lets you see at a glance which method best suits you. It will also help DG/ML and Punchant Designer users who have converted to ES Designer to identify where equivalent commands are located. Note While the Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements in ES Designer are organized somewhat differently to DG/ML and Punchant, they provide exactly the same functionality, and more.
