This article explains how to use the Object Context Menu, which provides additional actions such as grouping, copying, and aligning objects within an Architecture view. These actions give you more flexibility to organize and visualize your view efficiently.

Object context menu

After creating a new Architecture view, start adding objects to the canvas. To access the object context menu, right-click any object.

Note: Any change you make on the canvas is saved immediately to the view. For this reason, a save button is not present.
