TUTORIAL 4 - Basic Drawing, ie., lines, circles, arcs, curves, etc.

1. Choose the Single Lines icon.

Move the cursor around, over the white area. (N.B. You can draw over the blue area, but it

will not be output.) Notice the changing coordinates at the bottom of the screen. Move the

cursor to a position where you wish to start a line, and click the LH mouse button. A moving

line should now appear. To “finish” a line click the LH mouse button again. Carry on draw-

ing a few more lines. (To help with this tutorial, ensure that some of them cross each other.)

2. Choose the Connected Lines icon from the Lines toolbar.

Move the cursor to a start point, and click the LH mouse button. To “fix” a line section, click

the LH mouse button again. A new moving line should now appear from the end of the fixed

line. To “finish”, either double click the LH mouse button (this will “fix” the moving line), or

click the RH mouse button (this will finish at the last fixed line). Try drawing a few lines fin-

ished in different ways. You will notice that although a grid is showing, the lines are not start-

ing and ending on grid positions.

3. Choose the Grid Lock icon.

Now draw a few more lines. The ends of the lines will now be fixed to grid positions.

4. Choose the Step Lock icon.

Now draw a few more lines. Again the ends of the lines appear to be free. However, they are

not entirely free as will be seen after the next two steps.

5. Choose the Zoom in icon.

Note the prompt reading Locate one corner of zoom box. Move the cursor approx. 1 grid

square (10mm) below and to the left of any “corner” that you have drawn, then click the LH

mouse button. The prompt will change to Locate opposite corner of zoom box. Move the

mouse to pull out a box up to the right, about 30mm square (three grid squares), then click the

LH mouse button. That area will now be redrawn to fill the screen.

6. Choose the Connected Lines icon again.

Draw some more lines. Notice that when the mouse moves, the cursor moves in small steps

between the grid dots. In fact the default step spacing is 1mm.

7. Choose the Step Lock icon again.

This time step lock will be deselected and the cursor will be free to move to any position.

Thus, there are three lock options, grid lock, step lock, and no lock.
