- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- -------------------
-
- You may use the following description of PC-Draft-CAD in your catalog.
- (You may edit and use some, all, or none... )
-
- PC-Draft-CAD provides features found only in more expensive CAD
- systems including automatic dimensions, unlimited layers, multiple
- fonts, object libraries, and dot-matrix printer support. It uses the
- high resolution modes of EGA, VGA, Super VGA and Hercules displays.
- "Virtual Memory" automatically uses extended or expanded memory or
- disk space as necessary for drawing sizes up to 32 megabytes.
-
- PC-Draft-CAD's intuitive user interface gives users a choice of pop up
- menus or single keystroke commands. This along with complete mouse
- support and context sensitive help, make learning easy while being
- unobtrusive to expert users.
-
- PC-Draft-CAD is most useful for producing exact scale drawings with
- HPGL compatible plotters and dot-matrix or laser printers. PC-Draft-
- CAD's vector based drawings may be directly incorporated into
- WordPerfect version 5.0 or other Desk Top Publishing applications that
- read WPG, HPGL, or GEM Draw format. Also WordPerfect WPG files can be
- converted for editing with PC-Draft-CAD.
-
- PC-draft's functions allow you to draw circles, ellipses, lines, boxes
- and arcs with varying line widths and line styles, creating named
- objects which may be stored in libraries for use in multiple drawings.
- Named objects may be used as fill patterns which may be edited or
- created by the user. PC-Draft supports unlimited layers, multiple
- font styles. Text can be rotated at any angle. Objects may be rotated,
- stretched, shrunk, mirrored, cloned and scaled.
-
- Other drawing aids let you: save and restore multiple views of the
- drawing; pan and zoom; complete "undo" and "redo" delete or restore
- drawing elements; display drawing grids at any spacing, with optional
- "grid-lock" (Snap). You can record graphic keyboard macros for later
- playback. Also, drawing elements (such as lines and boxes) may be
- joined or split.
-
- PC-Draft-CAD's object libraries containing architectural or electrical
- symbols can be cut and pasted into your drawings, modified and saved.
-
- Registered user price (full libraries, illustrated manual) $65.00
-
-
- System Requirements for PC-Draft-CAD
-
- Requires on IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 and "true compatible" microcomputers
- with 256k of memory, MS-DOS versions 2.0 or later. CGA, EGA, VGA or
- Hercules Graphics Display adapter is required. Supported printers
- include IBM and Epson dot-matrix, HP LaserJet+, IIP, III, and HP
- DeskJet and plotters compatible with the HPGL plotter language.
-
-
- GEMCAP
- ------
-
- This utility program, allows you to capture text and graphics screen
- images from other programs, save them in separate GEM .IMG files, and
- later load them into other programs that can read the same .IMG format
- such as Ventura Publisher. Preserves reverse video fields in text
- mode.
-
- This new version (4.0) now adds support for EGA and VGA text and graphics
- modes. EGA and VGA 43 or 50 line text screens are converted to bit-mapped
- graphics using the RAM resident font so that your documents will show
- EXACTLY what was on the screen. New graphics modes supported are:
- EGA 640x350x16 color mode and VGA 640x480x16 color mode. Supports Hercules
- in text mode only.
-
- GEMCAP is VERY popular with companies in the process of producing user
- manuals or teaching materials for software. With GEMCAP, they can import
- the program screens directly into their documents.
