The following table describes the commands that may appear in the popup menu when you right-click in the map window. You may not always see all of these commands, or you may notice some custom commands not in this list; which popup menu commands appear depends on how the map author created the map. Note that if you are using the Java edition of Autodesk MapGuide Viewer on a Macintosh, the commands will appear all in a single list instead of being organized into secondary menus.
Underlined commands (links) in the table are linked to a help topic that provides more information about using that command. Click the link to view the associated topic.
