+	&nbsp;</li>
+	<li><span style="font-size:10px">Once an object is available in the Project Tab, by selecting it and then selecting <strong>SELECTED TAB </strong>(more simpler is to double click the object name in the Project Tab), <strong>SELECTED TAB </strong>will be updated with the object properties according to it&#39;s kind: Gerber, Excellon or Geometry object.<br />
+	<br />
+	If the selection of the object is done on the canvas by single click instead, and the <strong>SELECTED TAB</strong> is in focus, again the object properties will be displayed into the Selected Tab. Alternatively, double clicking on the object on the canvas will bring the <strong>SELECTED TAB</strong> and populate it even if it was out of focus.<br />
+	<br />
+	You can change the parameters in this screen and the flow direction is like this:<br />
+	<br />
+	<strong>Gerber/Excellon Object</strong> -&gt; Change Param -&gt; Generate Geometry -&gt;<strong> Geometry Object </strong>-&gt; Add tools (change param in Selected Tab) -&gt; Generate CNCJob -&gt;<strong> CNCJob Object </strong>-&gt; Verify GCode (through Edit CNC Code) and/or append/prepend to GCode (again, done in <strong>SELECTED TAB)&nbsp;</strong>-&gt; Save GCode</span></li>
