=== (1) ==== 
''**MOUSE**'' (located at **status bar**)\\ \\ 
{{:usage:mouse-action.png?|}} \\  When command is changed, one will see differences such as\\ 
  * specify first point
  * specify position 
    * and so on... 
  * ''Right-click'' works as same as **Esc**, To exit any commands, Right-click two times escapes the command.

=== (2) ==== 
''**Command-line**''\\ \\  {{:usage:command-line.png?|}}\\  Command-line is used for inputs such as Length, Angle, Points, and can be input the same after the particular command is activated.
