Note: The command box is floating (it does not lock the screen). Drag its title bar to move it. The preview updates immediately when you change a value. OK saves one Undo step. Cancel, ✕ or Esc cancels. If the conditions are not complete, the OK button is grey and an orange message tells you what to select.
