Measure

The coordinates of the mouse pointer are shown in the lower right corner. If it is moved and the right mouse button is pressed at the same time, the mouse pointer changes into a crosshair and can thus be positioned more precisely.

Touchpad

On a laptop without a mouse, dragging with the left mouse button (Panning) or right mouse button (Measure) is replaced by corresponding gestures on the touchpad.

Center

The Center  button centers the coordinate system.
