Dynamo is a visual programming tool.

As with any type of programming, there must be some type of

source code or commands. The code then creates a program that will automate a specific task or
solve a given problem. In Dynamo, the code is created by placing nodes. Nodes are the building
blocks of a Dynamo graph or program. There are thousands of nodes that can be used in
Dynamo. These nodes can be accessed from the node Library. The nodes are organized into
categories in the node Library. In most categories, the nodes are further organized into
subcategories, and then into functions. To place a node, first find the node listing in the Library. For
example, click Operators. When you do, the category expands, and you can see all the available
nodes. In this case, the nodes are available directly under the category. They are not further
organized into a subcategory. To place a node onto the workspace, simply click the node listing in
the Library. For example, click the listing with the plus icon to place the addition (+) node. Click the
listing with the minus icon to place the subtraction (-) node. You can also place nodes by searching
for them in the node Library. For example, in the Search field, enter "number" to search for the
Number node. When searching, the first entry is highlighted, indicating that it is the selected
node. To place the highlighted node in the workspace, press ENTER. You can also use the UP and
DOWN arrow keys to highlight another node and then press ENTER. Or, you can simply click the
node listing to place it in the workspace. Also be aware that you can copy nodes. For example, with
a Number node selected, use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+C to copy the node to the clipboard, and
then CTRL+V to paste the node in the workspace. So as you can see, there are multiple ways to
quickly place nodes in a workspace.
