Send to Back	Sends the selected Items to the lowest drawing level.
Bring Forward	Brings the selected Items up one drawing level.
Send Backward	Sends the selected Items down one drawing level.
Group Items
Group	Join two or more selected items together so they will be treated as a single item.
Ungroup	Break a set of grouped items back into individual items.
Position Items
Align
Align Left	Aligns the selected Items to the left.
Align Centre	Aligns the selected Items to the horizontal centre.
Align Right	Aligns the selected Items to the right.
Align Top	Aligns the selected Items to the top.

Rotate Left 90°	Rotates the selected Items to the left by 90 degrees.
Flip Vertical	Flips the selected Items vertically.
Flip Horizontal	Flips the selected Items horizontally.
Dataset
Move Dataset	Redefines the coordinate reference system of the selected dataset which makes it move relative to other datasets.

Move	Moves or repeats the currently selected items.
Stretch	Stretches the selected items.
Reverse	Changes the direction of the selected items.
Split	Splits a LineString item at snapped position, creating two items from one.
Slice	Slices through items, cutting them into pieces.
Snip Inside	Snips away portions of the selected items inside a polygon.
Snip Outside	Snips away portions of the selected items outside a polygon.

Clean	Cleans up geometry, by removing repeated vertices, etc.
Generalise	Generalises geometry using the Douglas-Peucker algorithm.
Simplify	Converts the selected items' geometry to the OGC 'simple' form (e.g. by removing all self-intersections).

Convert	Converts the Text Item from one type to another.
Convert to Point Text	Converts the selected Box Text items to Point Text items.
Convert to Box Text	Converts the selected Text items to Box Text items.
Convert to Label Text	Converts the selected Box Text items to Label Text items.

Stack	Stacks coincident Text Items around a position.


Convert to TIN	Fits a TIN item over the selected Grid.
Drape Geometry	Drapes geometry from an overlay onto the selected TIN item.
Perimeter	Creates a Polygon item from the perimeter of the selected surface.

Merge	Merges the selected TIN items together, by joining them along their common edges.
Subdivide	Subdivides the selected TIN item's faces using smooth interpolation.
Snip	Snips out the part of a TIN that does not overlap a Polygon.


Save to File	Saves the selected Bitmap as a file in various formats.
Align Pixels	Resamples the selected raster item to match the pixels of current view.
Resample	Changes the resolution of raster item (e.g. Bitmap or Grid).

Compress	Compresses the selected bitmap to TIFF format.
Convert to Grey	Converts the selected colour bitmap to a grey scale bitmap.
Create Bitmap	Creates a Bitmap item from an Image item.

Displacement	Constructs a displacement item, prior to doing a rubber sheet operation.
Create	Makes a rubber sheet transformation.
Set Transform	Makes the selected Rubber Sheet the current rubber transform.
Apply	Transforms the selected items with the current Rubber Sheet.
Explode	Explodes the selected Rubber Sheet item into its component displacements
