====== Icon View ======
  * Within the [[ui:workspace_pane | Workspace Pane]], each construct is represented as a linear arrangement of sequence element icons; one kind of icon for DNA elements and a second for amino acid elements.
    * The elements may be viewed as icons whose size is proportional to the sequence length, or as elements that are not scaled in this way (non-proportional)
      * It is possible to switch between the proportional and non-proportional views by selecting the toggle button at the bottom of the Construct Editor.

  * When the mouse is moved over an element in the Navigation Pane, the element is highlighted in the Workspace Pane and vice versa.
===== Manipulating Sequence Elements =====
  * Rearranging sequence elements alters the final sequence of the construct.
  * Elements may be moved within a construct by selecting the icon and dragging it to a new position.
    * Elements may be moved by dragging them to a different position within the [[ui:navigation_pane | Navigation Pane]].
    * Elements may be moved by dragging them to a different position within the [[ui:workspace_pane | Workspace Pane]].  This requires that the "non-proportional" view is selected.
    * Elements may be dragged between the [[ui:navigation_pane | Navigation Pane]] and the [[ui:workspace_pane | Workspace Pane]].
  * Elements may be moved from one construct to another within a project by dragging the icons, in the same way as they are moved within a construct.
    * Holding down the ctrl key while moving an an element creates a copy of the element and leaves the original copy in place.
      * This is true whether moving an element within or between constructs.
  * Elements may be moved from one project to another by copying (ctrl-C) and pasting (crl-V).
  * Elements may be combined in [[ui:groups | Groups]].
