New 2D Mesh Creates a new, empty 2D mesh.
2D Mesh Settings... Opens the 2D mesh settings which include: default z values for new nodes, options for deleting triangles etc.
Lock All Nodes Since it is possible to accidentally drag points, nodes can be "locked" to prevent them from being dragged or edited by toggling on this command.
Find Element... Selects an element given the element ID.
Find Node... Selects a node given the node ID.
Triangulate Creates triangular elements from all or selected nodes using the Delauney criteria. If triangles already exist, they will be deleted.
