Task	Action
Move road one meter in any direction	Up, down, left, and right arrows
Commit a road to the canvas at the last-clicked road center	Press Enter or right-click in the canvas while creating the road

Actor Operations

Actor Selection, Placement, and Movement

These operations apply after you add actors to the Scenario Canvas pane.

Task	Action
Select an actor	Click
Select multiple actors	Ctrl+click Alternatively, hold Shift and draw a box around the actors you want to select. To select an actor, the actor origin must be within the box.
Align actors along a selected dimension	Right-click one of the selected actors, and select one of the options in the Align Actors menu. You can align actors along their top, bottom, left, or right sides, or along their horizontal or vertical centers. This figure shows actors aligned along their left side.
Distribute selected actors evenly along a road	Right-click one of the selected actors, and select one of the options in the Distribute Actors menu. You can distribute actors horizontally or vertically. This figure shows actors distributed vertically along a road.
Move selected actors 1 meter in any direction	Up, down, left, and right arrows
Move selected actors 0.1 meter in any direction	Hold Ctrl and use the up, down, left, and right arrows

Actor Trajectories

These operations apply after you select an actor on the Scenario Canvas pane and right-click the actor to add trajectory waypoints. If you select multiple actors, then these operations are disabled.

Task	Action
Commit a trajectory to the canvas at the last-clicked waypoint	Press Enter or right-click while creating the trajectory
Commit an actor trajectory to the canvas and create a waypoint at the current location	Double-click in the canvas while creating the trajectory A new waypoint is committed at the point where you double-click.
Exit the trajectory editing mode and remove any waypoints added while editing	Esc
Add a waypoint to an existing trajectory	Double-click the selected actor at the point where you want to add the waypoint
Add forward motion waypoints to a trajectory	Press Ctrl+F and add new waypoints
Add reverse motion waypoints to a trajectory	Press Ctrl+R and add new waypoints to trajectory

Actor Rotation

These operations apply to actors on the Scenario Canvas pane that do not already have specified trajectories. To modify existing trajectories for a selected actor, interactively move actor waypoints. Alternatively, on the Actors pane, edit the yaw values in the Waypoints, Speeds, Wait Times, and Yaw table.

To interactively rotate an actor that does not already have a trajectory, move your pointer over the actor and select the actor rotation widget.

If you do not see this widget, try zooming in.

Alternatively, click in the pane to select the actor you want to rotate and use these keyboard shortcuts.

If you have multiple actors selected, then these operations apply to all selected actors.

Task	Action
Rotate actor 1 degree clockwise	Hold Alt and press the right arrow key
Rotate actor 1 degree counterclockwise	Hold Alt and press the left arrow key
Rotate actor 15 degrees clockwise	Hold Alt+Ctrl and press the right arrow key
Rotate actor 15 degrees counterclockwise	Hold Alt+Ctrl and press the left arrow key
Set actor rotation to 0 degrees	Hold Alt and press the up arrow key
Set actor rotation to 180 degrees	Hold Alt and press the down arrow key

Preview Actor Times of Arrival

This operation applies when at least one actor in the driving scenario has a specified wait time or non-default spawn or despawn times. To specify a wait time or spawn and despawn times for an actor, use the wait (s) parameter in the Waypoints, Speeds, Wait Times, and Yaw table or the Actor spawn and despawn parameter, respectively.

Task	Action
Preview actor times of arrival at waypoints	Point to a waypoint along the trajectory of an actor

Add barriers to multiple road edges.	Ctrl+Click on the highlighted road edge. Continue to add barriers to multiple road edges as required.
Select multiple road segments on the same side of the road.	Shift+Click on a road edge. If any intersections exist, barriers will not be added to the area of intersection.

Sensor Operations

These operations apply after you select a sensor on the Sensor Canvas pane.

Task	Action
Undo a sensor rotation while still rotating it.	Esc

File Operations

Task	Action
Open scenario file	Ctrl+O
Save scenario file	Ctrl+S
