Context Menus
Context menus display options that are relevant to that context; for example, Import Drill Pattern for a mine site. Context menus are used extensively in the DataBlast Items Tree. Right-click a tree node to display context menu options.
Note: The active module affects which context menu options are available. For example, if you right-click a drill pattern while in the Design Module, you can open the drill pattern in design mode. However, this context menu option is not available while you are in any other module.
