Each element can still be rotated about its own axis. ■ CIRCULAR - Create circular array of elements. Each copy is rotated about a user specifies center of rotation by a given angle. Note that this angle, which is specified after the options in this menu are accepted, is different than the offset ANGLE specified below. ■ TOTAL - Total number of elements to create. ■ SCALE - Change the size of each successive copy by this factor. Allows you to generate images that seem to disappear in 3-D. ■ ANGLE - Offset each copy by this angle. Different than the angle of rotation for circular array. Each copy is rotated about its own axis by this angle. 9,2,2 Circles Type of circle specified through Circle, Setup command. Selected Type stays in effect until modified. Default Type is RADIUS. RADIUS - (Draw Circle by specifying Radius) ■ Select center of circle, press ENTER. ■ Expand circle to desired radius, press ENTER to finalize. DIAMETER - (Draw circle by specifying Diameter) ■ Select first point (on desired circumference), press ENTER. ■ Indicate Second point (on desired circumference), press ENTER. POINT - (Draw circle by specifying # points on circumference) ■ Select first point on circumference, press ENTER. ■ Specify second point on circumference, press ENTER. ■ Select third point on circumference, press ENTER to finalize. Make sure points are not on straight line. That would create a circle with infinite radius! 10,2,3 Copy/Move Copy or Move all elements enclosed within a user defined window from one location in current drawing to another location. ■ Enclose the elements you want to copy or move in the flexible window. ■ Click on the reference point (just like pinching the objects). ■ Drag the objects in the outlined window to the desired (new) location and press ENTER. If you selected COPY, you stay in that mode ( i.e. move the cursor to another location, press ENTER to make another copy and so on) until you press ESCAPE. For instructions on how to make multiple copies and also modify the copies as you are copying them, see the EDIT ARRAY command. 11,2,4 Complex Generate complex geometric shapes. ■ PLACE - Select the location to place the currently selected type of complex curve (see setup below to select style). ■ MODIFY - Allows you to modify the complex curve. Remember that EDIT treats the curve as a single element. ■ SETUP - Select the type of complex curve to use. ■ LINES - Creates a complex curve made-up of straight lines. The difference between using this and the Draw/Line command is that the LINES generate a single element (i.e., only one reference point needed to refer to this element). ■ SPLINE - Fits a cubic spline curve to points (up to 40 points can be handled). Result is a single complex element. ■ FREEHAND - Draws a freehand curve, as the cursor is moved, until SCAPE is pressed. 12,2,5 Default Select Default Options for the current DRAFTC CHOICE session. ■ ASPECT - Set the aspect ratio for circles drawn on your monitor or printed by your printer. The default aspect ratio is 1.41. Ellipses can be created by changing this ratio. ■ MOUSE - Set the mouse sensitivity. The lower this value the more sensitive the mouse response to your movements i.e., small hand movement corresponds to larger cursor movement. ■ RATE - Rate at which the screen updating takes place. If a rate of 1 is specified, the screen is updated as soon as each element is redrawn. A rate of 5 will update the screen after every 5 elements have been drawn. ■ COLOR - Change the current foreground drawing color. ■ BACKGD - Change the background color for current drawing. ■ LEVEL - Degree of smoothness for the Complex, Spline curve. 13,2,6 Device Specify the device to be used for printing/plotting a drawing. Once selected, the device remains in effect. Default is EPSON. HP7470 - Produces a plot using the Hewlett Packard Graphics Language (HPGL) which is sent out the selected port. (This option can be used with any plotter device that supports HPGL). EPSON - Produces a dot matrix plot using EPSON FX-series compatible graphics commands sent out to the selected port. LASERJET - Produces a printed image using an HP Laserjet printer. (See PORTS on how to the select correct serial/parallel port for your device) 14,2,7 DialogBox Many of the menus and commands in the program have multiple choices. In such cases a Dialog Box appears in the screen to help the user select the desired option. ■ The Dialog Box options can be selected by either moving the cursor to that location or pressing the first letter of the command. ■ In some Dialog Boxes, (e.g. those that display file names) selecting the UP or DOWN arrow keys will display more options (in this case more file names). ■ Certain Dialog Boxes will remain on display until 'ACCEPT' is invoked. 15,3,1 Dimension Embed Dimension in Drawing (in current units). ■ Select first point and press ENTER. ■ Select second point and press ENTER. A dimension line (with arrows at both ends) is drawn, and the distance (in number of current units) is printed on the line. The orientation of the lettering depends on the order the pts are defined (read from pt 1 to 2). See 'Units' for the selection of units available at this time. 16,3,2 Fill Fill patterns can be used to 'Paint' closed shapes. The following patterns are available in DRAFT CHOICE: ■ NONE - No fill pattern is used. This is the default mode. ■ BLANK - Different than NONE. Shapes marked as blank. ■ SOLID - Shapes painted with current solid color. ■ HORIZ - Fill pattern is made up if horizontal lines. ■ VERT - Shapes are painted with a vertical line pattern. ■ CROSS - Pattern is made up of cross hatched lines. ■ RIGHT - Fill pattern is straight lines slanted to the right. ■ DOT - Shapes painted with a tight dot pattern. ■ FINE - Fill pattern is made up of sparse dot pattern. ■ CHECK - Pattern is made up of a checkerboard pattern. 17,3,3 F-Keys The following Function keys are currently defined in DRAFTC CHOICE: ■ F1 - Invokes the DRAFTC CHOICE Help Screens. Once the help screen appear, you can move to the desired topic using the arrow keys. Press ESC to return to the Drawing mode. ■ F2 - Plays back a recorded MACRO command key sequence. ■ F8 - Toggles the Orthogonal mode ON/OFF. When this mode is turned on, all drawn line segments are horizontal or vertical. This mode can be adjusted while drawing an object. ■ F9 - Toggles the snap option ON/OFF. This option can also be turned ON or OFF from the Options, Toggles menu. 18,3,4 Font ■ MAKE - Create a new letter font based on drawing elements currently on the screen. You are prompted to define a character window, the lower left corner of the character (don't forget to account for blank space on either side of the character), and the alphabet letter this character will replace. To redefine an entire font you must individual define the shape of each letter. ■ READ - Read a new font file from disk. You are presented with a dialog window, similar to the File/Load command. Loaded font becomes effective only from the timer it is loaded (i.e., no effect on previously written text). ■ WRITE - Write the current font definition to disk. Any changes to the current font will result in a prompt to SAVE upon exiting. 19,3,5 Grid/Snap GRID - Draws horizontal(X-spacing) and vertical (Y-spacing) grid lines on the screen. Grid can be used with SNAP to restrict drawing only on the intersections of the grid lines. SNAP - Draw cursor to snap points like a magnet. If SNAP is turned on, then the START and END point of every line segment drawn will be moved to the closest snap point. If the snap and grid sizes are the same, then all line segments drawn will be on the grid points. . . . . . . GRID (x=8, y=16 will produce grid like this. . . . . . ■ SNAP (x=8, y=16) will force drawing exactly . . . on the point shown here. 20,3,6 Import Import a file into the current cursor location without erasing the current drawing. Useful in combining drawings. Five types of files can presently be imported. ASCII - Ascii file with Carriage Return/Line Feed between lines. VALUE - XY coordinates separated by commas. Straight lines are assumed to join coordinates. A continous line is terminated with a blank line PIC - Lotus 123 (tm) and AS-EASY-AS (tm) pic format, graphics files. DWG - DRAFT CHOICE drawing file, with extension .DCH . 21,3,7 Keyboard A mouse is NOT required to operate DRAFT CHOICE, although recommended. Whether a mouse is active or not the following keyboard operations are available: Arrows - UP,DN,LT,RT...Move the cursor one pixel (very small distance). PgUp - INCREASE cursor increment movement by 10 pixels (Subsequent PgUp presses increase cursor step size by 10 pixels). PgDn - Restore the cursor movement step increment to one pixel. A menu or a command can be selected by either moving the cursor to the corresponding location on the screen or pressing the first letter of the menu or command (regardlles of where, on the screen, the cursor is located). Pressing the ESCAPE key will return you to the previous level of operation or the previous menu level. 22,4,1 Layers Only one layer (color plane) can be active at a given time: To enable the colors (ega only) set the OPTION TOGGLE BWON to off. LAYER# COLOR ▌ ■ If the active layer and the displayed ------ ------ ▌ layer are not the same, you will not 1 Blue ▌ be able to see what you are drawing. 2 Green ▌ 3 Red ▌ ■ On an EGA monitor, however, the planes 4 White ▌ are transparent and visible at all times. 5 Yellow ▌ 6 Brown ▌ ■ Displayed layers can be combined to show 7 Orange ▌ composite drawings (e.g., layers 1 and 2, 8 Black ▌ layers 1 and 3, etc.) 23,4,2 Lines Style Thickness ▌ ■ Once a starting point is selected, a line is ------ --------- ▌ drawn from the last point to the current SOLID SLIM ▌ cursor point every time ENTER is pressed. DASH THICK ▌ To stop the line drawing, press ESCAPE. CENTER FAT ▌ PHANTOM ▌ ■ Elements(s) can be edited to change their CROSS ▌ line thickness and the line style. HATCH ▌ HIDE ▌ ■ The default line thickness is SLIM and the ▌ default line style is SOLID. ANY COMBINATION OF THICKNESS AND STYLE (ABOVE) IS ALLOWED. 24,4,3 Load/Save Load/Save a file generated with DRAFT CHOICE. For other file formats refer to Exporting and Importing files. LOAD - Load a DRAFTC CHOICE drawing from disk with extension .DCH (Current drawing, in memory is lost). Select file name from list in the dialog box that appears. Scroll up or down to see more file names. Confirm once selection is made. SAVE - Store the drawing to disk. Select name from list or specify new name. Scroll up or down to see more file names. Confirm once selection is made. If the specified file already exists, you will be asked to confirm overwriting the old file. 25,4,4 Macros Allows the recording of keystrokes that can be played back and perform the desired operations. Menu commands can be invoked by using their first letter. The following additional commands are available (curly brackets must be part of the command): {CR} - Equivalent to pressing ENTER {ESC} - Equivalent to pressing ESCAPE {LT}, {RT} - Move cursor an increment LEFT/RIGHT {UP}, {DN} - Move cursor an increment UP/DOWN {PGUP}, {PGDN} - Increase/Decrease cursor increment by 10 pixels Press ENTER to end macro recording. Press F2 to execute macro. Example: DB{CR}{PGUP}{UP}{UP}{RT}{RT}{PGDN}{CR} Will invoke the Draw, Box command, fix the first corner of the box at the current location, move the cursor two increments up and two increments right and finish the box. 26,4,5 Mark ■ This command places a construction mark at the point indicated by the cursor. It will NOT appear in a printed output. This construction mark is the reference point used by all EDIT commands to modify the associated element. ■ A special switch in the TOGGLE sub-menu. Turn ON or OFF the ability to place construction MARK on a primitive element (lines, circles etc.). Remember that these marks identify the primitive element. For any operation where you need to select the element, you MUST enclose the reference mark in the selection window. 27,4,6 Measure ANGLE - Determine intersection angle between two lines. ■ Select point of intersection, press ENTER ■ Specify point on first line, press ENTER ■ Indicate point on second line, press ENTER; angle appears on screen. LENGTH - Determine length between indicated start and end points. ■ Indicate starting point, press ENTER ■ Indicate ending point, press ENTER; distance appears on screen. AREA - Determine the area defined by user selected points - units^2. ■ Select points to define area by moving cursor and pressing ENTER. ■ After all points are selected, pres ESC to terminate perimeter. The area defined by straight lines drawn between the selected points will be displayed on the screen. 28,4,7 Mirror Mirror image of element(s) symmetrical about the vertical axis. e.g. ┌─┐ becomes ┌─┐ │ └────┐ ┌────┘ │ └────┐ │ │ ┌────┘ └─┘ └─┘ ■ Select elements, press ENTER to finalize. Elements symmetric about the vertical axis remain unchanged when mirrored. e.g. remains ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ 29,5,1 Misc. ■ ORIGIN - Return to the origin and restore magnification to base of 1.0. Screen is repositioned with coordinate 0,0 at lower left. This is useful when after many manipulations and scaling of your drawing, it appears that the drawing has disappeared somewhere off the screen. ■ LAST - Swap last image with current image. This includes the last magnification, last view point, origin, etc. "LAST" does not refer to the image before an erase operation (i.e., it is not like an 'UNDO' command). ■ ZOOM - Specify magnification of screen. (1.0 - reference). The larger this value the larger the drawing will appear. Of course, The larger the magnification factor specified, the smaller the portion of the drawing that can be displayed on the screen. This command is different than the WINDOW command. Every element currently on the screen is magnified by the specified factor. 30,5,2 Mouse In order for your mouse to operate, the mouse driver needs to be loaded before DRAFT CHOICE is started. (For details on how to load the mouse driver, please consult the mouse user's manual - generally it can be accomplished by simply typing 'MOUSE', or your mouse's equivalent command, and pressing ENTER prior to starting DRAFT CHOICE. Once the program is started, the mouse operation is as follows: LEFT BUTTON - Equivalent to the ENTER key on the keyboard. MIDDLE BUTTON - Same as RIGHT button. RIGHT BUTTON - Equivalent to the ESCAPE key on the keyboard. To select a menu/command, move the cursor to the desired menu/command and press ENTER (i.i., left button). The mouse movement sensitivity can be set using the Option, Default, Mouse command. 31,5,3 Pan Repositions the screen window. The effect of PAN can be imagined by pretending to pinch the drawing with your fingers and drag it into a new position. ■ Select reference point , press ENTER. As you are moving the cursor, all elements on the screen are moving as well. ■ Once the desired display position is reached, press ENTER to finalize. 32,5,4 Ports Select either a parallel port or a serial port to send the output when the Plot, Go command is executed. Note that I/O with serial ports is set at 1200 Baud. At this point, the serial port baud rate can not be modified. In later versions of the program, a faster serial transfer rate will be supported. ■ LPT1 - Select parallel printer port #1 for graphics output. ■ LPT2 - Select parallel printer port #2 for graphics output. ■ COM1 - Select Serial communications port#1 for graphics output. ■ COM2 - Select Serial communications port#2 for graphics output. ■ FILE - Specify a file name to send printer/plotter output. If a serial port is selected, it should be initialized using the DOS 'MODE' command to an appropriate BAUD rate (consult your DOS manual). 33,5,5 Plotting Make a hard copy of the drawing on either a FX-type printer or a plotter. The following commands/options are available: ■ GO - Produce drawing on indicated DEVICE. Once printing/plotting starts, press ESCAPE to suspend drawing process and return to the menu. (Make sure the printing/plotting device is on line before invoking the GO command. ■ EJECT - Advance the printer/plotter one page. ■ IMAGE - Specify the characteristics of the printed image. > Orientation: LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT > Density of print/plot: HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW > Size: WIDTH and Vertical SCALE ■ DEVICE - Select the device to be used for printing/plotting and the output port the device is connected to. 34,5,6 Slides Used to develop animated drawings. Maximum number of slides is 50. ■ GET - Get defined window and assign next slide number. Once element(s) are selected you are asked to supply the delay time (milliseconds) for the currently selected slide. ■ PLAY - Display slides in the order they were defined. ■ STEP - Single step through defined slides (pressing S for each slide). ■ RESET - Erase all defined slides from slide buffer. When slides are created, the desired shape(s) should be included in a box prior to being defined. This box will act as the outline and will thus clear every time a new slide is loaded. If an outline frame is not defined, the Play command will leave spurious elements since the previous slide might not be erased by the new slide placed on the screen. NOTE: Memory for slides is dynamically allocated. A memory limit can be reached even before 50 slides have been defined. 35,5,7 Start!! STARTING THE PROGRAM: ■ Type DRAFTC , press [ENTER] (This enables CGA & Hercules graphics) ■ Type DRAFTC /E, press [ENTER] (This enables EGA/VGA graphics cards) ■ For AT&T monitors and video cards; Type DRAFTC /ATT, press [ENTER] Using a Mouse: Using the Keyboard: with BUTTONS - Left = ENTER - Arrow keys move cursor one pixel. - Middle = ESCAPE - PGUP increases cursor movement - Right = ESCAPE by factor of 10 each time. - PGDN returns cursor movement to 1 pixel each time. To select >> 1. Move cursor to HIGHLIGHT command and press ENTER a Command >> or 2. Press FIRST letter of command and press ENTER. 36,6,1 Symbols Create a symbol library that is saved with the current drawing: ■ MAKE - Assign a block of elements a SYMBOL name. The block can then be used as an entity anywhere in the drawing. 1. Select the element(s) to be part of the defined symbol. 2. Supply the name to use for the defined symbol. 3. Define a reference point for the symbol. (This is important since it dictates the manner the symbol is retrieved. ■ USE - Use a predefined graphics symbol composed of primitive elements. A menu of symbol names is presented. Highlight the symbol name and press ENTER. You can preview the selected symbol by using the ICON command in the dialog box. ■ DELETE - Deletes a symbol from the current symbol library. If this is not selected when a new drawing is loaded, the current symbols become part of the new drawing. ■ RESET - Delete ALL symbols from current library. 37,6,2 Text ■ PLACE - Select the point where you want the text to be placed. Note that the text font can be selected from the SYMBOL menu. ■ SETUP - Set the text options described below: ANGLE: Print all text from this point on at selected angle. RIGHT: Print all text right justified about selected point. LEFT: Print al text left justified about selected point. CENTERED: Print all text centered about selected point. ■ The current font can be changed by loading a new font file, (see SYMBOL, FONT command). ■ TEXT is also a special toggle switch in the TOGGLES sub-menu. Disables text drawing on screen and places a line in the position occupied by the text string. This speeds up the screen redrawing quite a bit in any drawing with significant amounts of text. Even when disabled, all text will appear when plotting the drawing. 38,6,3 Toggles A check mark next to a toggle switch indicates it has been selected. ■ COORD - Display the cursor coordinates at the bottom of the screen. ■ DRAG - Leave a trace from point to point, as the cursor moves, when in the DRAW mode. ■ MARK - Display the construction mark for all primitive elements. This is the only point needed to access the element. ■ TEXT - Display all text in the current drawing. If De-selected, only lines are displayed in place of text (faster screen updates). ■ B&W - Set your color monitor to Black and White mode. ■ AUTO - Not used ■ FILL - Select the default fill (painting) pattern. ■ STYLE - Select the default line thickness and style. 39,6,4 Units Select the default units to be used for all subsequent DIMENSION opeations (It does not have any effect on previous units that were already embedded in the drawing). ┌──────────────────── Display Dimensions ─────────────────────────┐ ■ METER - in Meters. ■ IN - in Inches. ■ MM - in centimeters. ■ FT - in decimal Feet . ■ KM - in Kilometers. ■ FT-IN - in feet and inches. ■ YD - in Yards. ■ MI - in Miles. ■ NONE - Do not display any units. ■ FIX - Fix the number of decimal points to display for units. 40,6,5 Window Specify the section of the current drawing you want to be displayed on the screen in larger magnification. The selected window will be magnified and adjusted to approximately fill the whole screen.
