As the title says, the context menu doesn't present on right-click with curve tools, demanding either a trip to the menus or familiarity with shortcuts. In VC5, VC6 and Pro, VC7 and Pro beta and Shark V7 Win, all builds to date, to my knowledge. The first and most obvious inconsistency that I found in PunchCAD. Still irritating.

What rt click menu are you referring to? If you rt click on empty area or rt click on a curve/entity? Or do you mean when a tool is active in between selecting points?

Once you've selected any one of the spline tools (except Sketch Spline), but before you start to use it, the right-click menu doesn't come up that gives access to the Zoom, Workplane and Gripper features etc.

Ok I see what you mean as all other tools you can rt click in between points but because rt click is built in to end/accept splines the context menu does not come up.

I would have thought this is possible to setup, because the Multi Line tool works OK with the right-click menu.

A "finish" item top of the right-click menu for curves instead of default behaviour would work. Escape is windows convention exit key anyway.
