Flux Context Menu


Easily harness the power of Flux. Get a list of predetermined prompts and actions to choose from with a button's (right) click.

Overview

The context menu is designed to incorporate Flux's AI tools into your workflow effortlessly. While interacting with Flux in an open-ended manner remains incredibly powerful, we've identified and streamlined the most frequent use cases to ensure you receive the best possible responses.

It's essential to remember that Flux is an LLM. While it's a powerful tool, its accuracy and output can vary. Thus, consider Flux as an enhancement to your work rather than a substitute for a seasoned engineer. With the context's menu ease of use, the potential applications for Flux are more accessible to anyone.

Getting Started

To tap into the context menu, simply right-click on any element within your project or in an empty space. The "Flux" menu will present you with options based on your selection:

  • No element is selected: This will provide options relevant to the entire project. For instance, you can access design review options like decoupling capacitors, reset pins, etc., or request an explanation of the whole circuit.
  • One or more elements are selected: You'll be presented with options pertinent to the selected component(s), such as replacement suggestions or recommended values.
