Functions

Choose a function in the lower part of the Elements pane. These functions are also listed in the context menu of the Commands window. Any functions not contained in the Elements pane need to be typed manually in the Commands window.

To access this command...

Open the context menu in the Commands window - choose Functions

Choose View - Elements; then on the Elements pane select Functions from the list box.


The following is a list of all functions that appear in the Elements pane. The icon next to the function indicates that it can be accessed through the Elements pane (menu View - Elements) or through the context menu of the Commands window.
