Context-menus appear when you right-click (or, more correctly, 'alternate-click' for all the left-handed out there) somewhere or on something. Context menus contain many options that are repeated within the menus or on a toolbar, but some are only available on a context menu.
- Options that appear only on a Context Menu are explained below (we do not 're-explain' copy, cut, paste, etc.).
- The available options change depending on where the right-click occurs (on a Condition, on a Typical Group, in a blank-space, etc.)
| Option | What it does/How it is used... |
|---|---|
| New > | Opens a sub-menu where you can select to add a new Condition, Typical Group, or Folder. |
| Insert Style Set | Opens the Style Library and Sets dialog box where the user can choose one or more Style Sets to insert into the Bid. |
| Change Properties | Opens the Condition Properties dialog box - also available by double-clicking the Condition or by highlighting the Condition and clicking the Edit button  . |
| Change Details | Opens the Condition Details dialog box when Bid is in Interactive Mode. |
| Save to Style Library | Saves the selected Condition(s) to the Style Library. |
| Save as New Style Set | Saves the selected Condition(s) to the Style Library and creates a new Set containing those Styles. |
| Duplicate | Duplicates the selected Condition and assigns new Condition Number and color - works with one or multiple Conditions. |
| Duplicate and Reassign Takeoff | Duplicates the selected Condition and reassigns all the Condition's takeoff on the current Page to the duplicate - works with one or multiple Conditions. Only affects the takeoff on the current Page. |
| Set Layer > | Opens a sub-menu where you can change the Layer to which the selected Condition(s) are assigned. |

| Select Objects | Selects all of the takeoff objects for the selected Condition(s) on the current page. |
| Reassign Objects | Reassigns any selected takeoff objects to the currently selected Condition (there is also a button on the Condition list toolbar that does the same thing). |
| Show Group Takeoff at Marker | When you are using Typical Groups, you can show or hide the takeoff inside the Typical Group Frame at each Marker - this is a project-level setting and affects all Typical Groups. |
| Group by Type | Groups the Conditions list by Condition Type - useful if your Project contains more than 20 or so Conditions. |
