Explore the options available when you right-click a pattern on the CAD screen
VIDEO | Right Click Patterns Preview
When you right-click a selected pattern on the CAD screen, you'll see a menu of options that affect the selected pattern(s). Some actions may be grayed 
out if they are not currently available because of Stand Alone Mode or other factors.
The available actions are listed below. Many of these options are detailed in other articles. Links to more detailed information are provided.
Undo
This option will reverse the last action taken on the CAD screen. Other ways to access Undo include the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl + Z or the Undo icon or Edit dropdown menu item.
Copy
This option will make a copy of the selected pattern or patterns, ready to paste it elsewhere as needed. CS now allows patterns to be copied from one quilt group, and pasted into another quilt group, or even into another project. (Shortcut is Ctrl+C).
Cut
This option will remove the selected object from the CAD, while retaining a copy of it on the clipboard so it can be pasted somewhere else. (Shortcut is Ctrl+X).
Paste
This option will allow the cut (or copied) object(s) to be positioned and placed multiple times if needed. If multiple patterns were selected (with cut or copy) the pasted version will have combined them into one pattern. When Paste is initiated, the cut (or copied) patterns appear to be attached to the mouse pointer. Move the pointer (and patterns) to the desired location and left-click to place them. Repeat as often as needed.
When done, right-click to end the paste process. (Shortcut is Ctrl+V).
Delete
This option will delete the selected object. (Keyboard shortcut is the Delete key).
Select All
This option will select (highlight) all the patterns in the quilt group. (Keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + A).
View All
Changes the Zoom perspective so all patterns in the current quilt group are visible.
Rotate 90 Degrees
This action will turn or rotate the selected pattern(s). The default rotation setting is 90 degrees but this can be easily changed by sliding the mouse over the carat (black triangle) and changing the number. See the article on Rotate for more details.
Flip Horizontally
This action will reposition the pattern(s) by flipping it upside down over its axis. More information can be found in the Flip Horizontal, Flip Vertical and Mirror article.
Flip Vertically
This action will reposition the pattern(s) by flipping it over its axis essentially reversing left and right. More information can be found in the Flip Horizontal, Flip Vertical and Mirror article.

This action will realign the screen image with the quilt position. Whenever the screen and the quilt are out of alignment, you can use Relocate. This right click menu item has four relocate options that you can see when you slide the mouse over the carat (black triangle).
