I cannot execute a "no-mouse "right click" in drawing.

I am trying to edit the views on a drawing and I do not have a mouse (using the touch pad).  I cannot open the view menu to do things like shading and showing hidden lines etc.  The ctrl-click works in the part tab, but not in the drawing tab. I am not in a position to add a mouse.  What is the solution

    This is likely computer specific. Can you share what kind of computer/OS you're using? On my computer "right-click" on my touchpad is accomplished by clicking with two fingers on the touchpad at the same time. I also have the bottom right corner of my touchpad set up as a "right-click".

    I would suggest looking at the touchpad settings on your computer to see how yours is set up.

    Also to add, if you changed your default Onshape mouse preferences, it might physically be impossible to get certain functions with a trackpad. I had changed my default preferences to be the same as Creo, and it was not possible to rotate (or pan, I forget which one now) using the trackpad on my MacBook, as the middle button was required, and there is no middle button equivalent on the trackpad. I changed the default back to Onshape, and now it works.
