SpinFire Ultimate can open certain 2D CAD files, image files (.bmp, .jpg, .gif, .png, .tiff, .wmf, .emf), and 2D snapshots of 3D documents. The 2D workspace has its own toolbar; you can initiate commands using a combination of buttons and menus to view and manipulate the document.

What file types can SpinFire open?

Open a menu by clicking the drop-down arrow to the right of an icon on the toolbar. Once you have used a command, the icon associated with that command will show on the toolbar. You can then quickly repeat the last command you called with just one click.

For example, to calculate the distance from one point to another, click the drop-down arrow next to the current Linear menu icon, then select the Point to Point icon from the menu. If you want to use the command again, simply click the now-displayed Point to Point icon. If you select a different command from the Linear menu, that icon is now displayed.

To find out which command is active, move your pointer over the icon to see the pop-up label.

Note: For 2D documents, there is also a picking mode field that indicates which element in the 2D scene you may select with the pointer.

Is there a "picking mode field"? I don't see selectable points highlighted in any way (selectable edges are highlighted in green when moused over).
