Disabling Right-Click Menus in v5.8.0

autodeskguest

Is there a way to disable the right-click context menus in v5.8.0?  I have

just switched from v4.16, and have gotten used to being able to simply

right-click to perform actions on a group without the additional click in

this new context menu.  This makes accurately moving groups of parts

difficult, as the group snaps to where your mouse cursor is when you click

Move:Group in that menu.

 

Love EAGLE!  One of the best pieces of software I've ever used!

    Hi Rod,

     

    I know what you're talking about. I'm afraid you can't turn off the

    context menus. A way I have found to move objects precisely is to use

    the properties command. When you open the properties command you can see

    the exact coordinates at which the component is located. By modifying

    these coordinates you can very precisely locate your components.

     

    Hope this helps.
