pointing to a Store

pointing to a Bar
pointing to Text
pointing within a selection frame
pointing to a Flow Point

In the last situation, ProMod-PLUS assumes that you want to Create an object.
Double-click on graphical objects
If you double-click on a graphical object this carries out the most commonly used command. The command started is different if you double-click on the label of an object or on the symbol excluding the label. For example, if you double-click on the name of a Node this carries out Alter on the Node name. If you double-click on the Node symbol outside the Node name this carries out Start Data Flow.
The following table shows the full list of commands carried out when double-clicking on objects.

|
Terminator | Start Data Flow | Alter |
Node | Start Data Flow | Alter |
Store | Start Data Flow | Alter |
Bar | Start Control Flow | --- |
