Good software gets out of your way. The radial tool is a small example of that: a quick-access menu that surrounds a selected territory with its most common actions, so the thing you want to do next is a flick of the mouse away instead of a hunt through menus.
What the Radial Tool Does
Select a territory and the radial tool gives you its options right there on the map, arranged around your cursor. Delete the territory, rename it, change its color, and other everyday actions sit within reach without breaking your focus on the map. It’s available any time you’re working in AlignMix, and once it’s in your hands you stop thinking about where a command lives and just use it.
Watch: Using the Radial Tool
Why It Matters for Real Work
Territory design is thousands of small actions, selecting, renaming, recoloring, deleting, over the course of a project. Shaving a second or two off each one adds up to real time, and more than that, it keeps you in flow. When your attention stays on the map instead of the menu bar, you spot imbalances and stray fragments you’d otherwise miss. It’s the same reason Touch Align works the way it does: the fewer steps between intention and action, the faster and better the design.
