If you have a computer with a touchscreen that recognizes at least two touch points, you can use touch and gesture controls in place of your mouse and keyboard. Check the information that came with your computer, laptop, or touchscreen to find out about the number of touch points supported by your monitor.

Because Intergraph FreeView does not override any currently configured touchscreen gestures, you might encounter the same touch gesture mapped to different types of operations. If this occurs, consult the touchscreen information that came with your system to either disable or re-configure the mapping.

On-Screen Keyboard

Some shortcut commands and feature operations such as selecting multiple objects (CTRL + tap) require touch and keyboard combination gestures. To accomplish these, use your virtual or built-in On-screen keyboard. To open the keyboard in Windows, select Start > Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard.

Terminology

The Help information for using menu bar commands uses touchscreen terms in describing operations and workflows. To use your touchscreen, refer to the table below to see the touchscreen terminology that relates to a specific mouse and keyboard term.
