- Short: Schematics vectorial electronics program
- Author: Roland.Florac@wanadoo.fr (Roland Florac)
- Uploader: Roland.Florac@wanadoo.fr (Roland Florac)
- Version: 1.2
- Type: gfx/edit
- Requires: 0S 3.0+, 68020+, bgui.library v39 (opt)
- Distribution: Aminet
-
- This program lets you design electronics drawings (and more).
- The docs are french only but the executable is in english language.
- The french, deutsch, spanish, italian and czech catalogs and their
- sources are included (not completly updated, 2 new strings not
- traduced).
-
- Please send me the catalogs for your languages, they will be included
- in future versions. If someone is interested for the traduction of the
- guide file in english (even for parts of it), please let me know (I just
- begin to do the job, but I have no time to it for the moment).
-
- This program is giftware/Emailware.
-
- Features:
- ---------
- - Installer scripts (french and english),
- - Object oriented,
- - use the mouse whenever possible to draw and edit objects,
- - multiple windows at the same time, allowing copy or cut from
- one sheet to another,
- - possibility to convert AmiCAD sheets to vector GFX formats, using
- the amigametaformat.library (Henk Jonas),
- - good printing (while not very user friendly, a ratio must be
- adjusted to your printer),
- - AmigaGuide help (but only french guide available for the moment),
- - ARexx port, with more than 130 functions...
-
- Requirements:
- -------------
- Hardware
- - MC68020 or higher
- - AGA chipset or GFX card recommended
-
- Software
- - AmigaOS v39 (system 3.0) or higher
- - bgui.library (only for easier loading components from libraries).
- This library is not supplied in the package.
-
- What's new in version 1.2?
- --------------------------
- - The screen has now 16 colors, different colors are used for the
- components, wires, etc... Just adjust the palette to your needs
- or load the file AmiCAD.palette if you want to keep your old
- config file.
- - Some bugs corrected: DATE, DEF, SETDEV, SETGRID, REMLIB...
- - New functions SAVEALL and GETCOLOR
- - Better Symmetry handling, rotations, symmetry, scaling can now be
- performed on clips.
- - New box object.
- - New Preferences menu (Full name in the title bar).
- - The format of the title bar has changed (suggest from Sébastien
- VEYRIN-FORRER).
- - Better and new ARexx scripts.
- - Italian catalog (thanks to Massimo Basso), new spanish catalog
- from Benjamin Morente (source not available).
- - Possibility to localize the library files (italian and english
- versions available for Symboles_AmiCAD and Symboles_électriques).
-
- Version 1.1
- -----------
- - ConfigFile.library is no more needed. The configuration file is now
- called AmiCAD.prefs (not compatible with the older files, but can be
- adapted with a text editor),
- - better install script,
- - Deutsch catalog (thanks to Henk Jonas),
- - Czech catalog (thanks to Vit Sindlar),
- - Spanish catalog (thanks to Benjamin Morente),
- - Workbench screen is now cloned (except number of colors) if no prefs
- are valid,
- - some little bugs are corrected (SYMMETRY, LOADCLIP...),
- - New tooltypes SHEET_WIDTH and SHEET_HEIGHT,
- - new ARexx functions SETPINS and COORDS,
- - Some code optimisations (program has new features but is shorter),
- - Possibility to set lines to any width for all objects,
- - better cursor arrow keys handling,
- - groups handling modified (surely better),
- - AGA screens colors bug hopefully corrected,
- - new requesters in separate windows...
-
- Installation
- ------------
- Use the "install english" installer script (or the "installation
- français" script if you are a french language user). You'll also
- need Installer from AT to do the job.
- You can also use the program only after you unarchive it, just
- copy the AmiCAD directory anywhere you want...
-
- Usage
- -----
- Click on the AmiCAD icon to start the program. The first time, as the
- preferences are not set correctly, a screen at the dimensions of the
- Workbench screen will be opened. You can then change the screen mode
- with the Preferences menu. Choose a font for the screen with the font
- requester, choose your palette, then save the configuration before
- leaving the program to keep your choices.
- Use the Draw menu to get objects on the window. Double click on the
- objects if you want to modify one of them. You can also use the mouse
- with the left button pushed to select multiple parts (in combination
- with the shift key to extend a selection, and the ctrl key to
- deselect some objects). You can also move objects with the mouse,
- dragging them with the left button. To modify a line, click on one
- of the extremity and drag it with the mouse (or use the cursor keys
- in combination with the shift (optionnal) and alt or ctrl keys for
- adjusting each extremity). The other functions should be self
- explanatory, I hope. Use the Draw and Edition menus.
- You'll also have to set the icon tooltypes to your needs.
-
- Note to CyberVision users
- -------------------------
- The program works pretty well under CyberGraphX but there are some
- visual problems under this system: when you draw some components
- with filled areas, like triangles or boxes, the complement mode
- doesn't work well, so there are some traces on the screen. Use the
- Z key to redraw the screen and all will be corrected. This problem
- doesn't appear under Amiga native modes.
