Using a Pen based interface

When manipulating the Mind Map, you need to be in Standard Mode.

 

Selection

To select a branch, hover the pen over the tablet surface until you are over the branch or graphic you want to select and tap the stylus on the tablet.

 

To add other branches to the selection, hold the Shift key on the keyboard while tapping another branch or graphic.

 

To select multiple branches, hover over the area you want to start dragging your selection from, put the stylus on the tablet and drag the selection you want.

 

note

Tapping to select and shift+tap to add to the selection work in both Write Anywhere mode and Standard Mode.

 

Moving branches and graphics

Just drag the selected graphics where you want them to go.

 

Resizing branches and graphics

Select them and drag the handles.

 

Adding new branches

You can use the context menus to add branches. To do this, select the parent branch and bring up the context menu by clicking the bottom button on the stylus. Tap your selection on the context menu.

 

You can also add a child branch at a specified location by selecting the parent branch, then positioning the stylus over where you want the branch to appear (without tapping the surface) and using the lower button on the stylus to open the context menu, and using the option to add a branch.
