While this may take a little getting used to, it's easy once you get used to how it works.

Because our product runs in common web browsers, the cursor control options are limited - so there are only two possible movements you need to remember: side-to-side (horizontal) or up-and-down (vertical).

Once you have selected an instrument or other item from the simulation Tools Panel - or an item (like a dial) is "activated" on the screen - you simply need to click and drag your cursor in one of those two directions, depending on the step. This will automatically move the selected tool for you.

Your cursor can be anywhere on the main background image, and the system will move the active or selected item for you (i.e. you don't need to click right *on* the tool).

Also, don't try to move an item like you would in real life, such as trying to "turn" a dial - the web browser can't handle that. You only need to use one of those two directions mentioned above: horizontal or vertical.

You will usually be able to guess which of those to use, based on the step. And if you try one movement direction but that doesn't work, then try the other type of movement. For example, if you've tried dragging horizontally across the screen (both to the left and to the right) and that didn't work, then use a vertical movement instead.

If you follow this advice and you're still having trouble, you might want to go back to the Tutorial to refresh yourself on how the simulations work. There's a sample simulation where you can try this kind of thing out.

Hope this information helps - let us know if you still need a hand, though.
