- Usage Description
- -----------------
-
- Again, this is another of my personal utilities which people may find a
- use for. This is not a manual, it's a summary.
-
- Presently all you can do is edit the existing gates, which does allow
- scope for producing ANSI/IEE gate libraries. Any design drawn in one
- library will still display with the currently installed library.
-
- To create a new library, copy the file 'RESOURCE.CLA\VECTORS\GATES.VEC' to
- somewhere safe, then run VECEDIT2.PRG (this must be in the correct place -
- see INVENTORY.TXT).
-
- You will be presented with the edit window. This looks slightly different
- depending on whether you have an ST/TT or a Falcon (different RCS files are
- used).
-
- You can change which component you want to edit using a pop-up menu (just
- click on the name).
-
- UNDO steps back though a design, so to begin a component from scratch, just
- keep clicking on UNDO until the edit window is empty.
- When editting, you can undo as many step's as you like, as the drawing order
- is always preserved.
-
- DRAWING MODES
- -------------
- The cursor will change for each of these:-
-
- CIRCLE adds circles at any point you click on.
-
- ARC adds arcs (good manual this isn't it?).
-
- LINE adds lines. Lines follow on in this editor, so in line mode (the cursor
- is a cross) you continue adding points to a line.
-
- MOVE moves to begin a new line at the point you clicked on.
-
- BOX - not implemented as yet.
-
- NOTE:The gate you draw MUST fill the same space as the ones I've drawn, or
- wires will not connect up properly in CLA.
