UI Right Click
When you right-click in the modeling window, a menu with a standard options appears. However, if you select a specific type of entity with a selection filter and then right-click on that entity, many more options will appear.
This table explains all the options available through SimLab context-sensitive menus, their functions, and which entity you must select to access each option.
| Option | Description | Entity in Selection |

| Synchronization |
View – Turn on "View" to rotate, pan and zoom all the databases simultaneously. Animation - Synchronize animations over all windows to ensure that the animation's timing, frame rate, and progress remain consistent across all windows. Users have control over starting, stopping, and adjusting the synchronization of the animation across the windows with the help of single animation toolbar. This provides an intuitive user interface to users that allow them to manage the synchronization settings easily. |
