- 1. User's Guide and Help
- -------------------------
-
- Super Sketch contains some features that are not covered or have been
- changed in the User's Guide. You will find complete instructions in
- the Help file.
-
- On Page 8, there should be a menu option under File that says EXPORT.
- This option is for exporting a selected element in a drawing or the
- entire drawing to a graphic format other than as a .SIG file.
-
- On Page 16, a reference is made to the fact that WPG (1.0) files can be
- imported. That support has been removed.
-
- On Page 31, the deer shown as a rotated object is incorrect. Since it
- is a raster graphic type, it can not actually be rotated as shown. It
- can however, be Flipped either horizontally, vertically or both. Other
- graphic formats or drawn objects such as WMF, DCX, etc. can be rotated
- as shown.
-
- On Page 36, references are made to saving a portion or a whole drawing
- as a WMF file using this option. You will want to use the Export command
- on the File menu to actually accomplish this operation.
-
- The Export Drawing dialog actually allows you to save your drawing or
- selected objects in a number of popular formats that can be imported into
- other graphics and word-processing programs.
-
-
- 2. Problems decompressing BWCC.DLL
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- If Super Sketch 2.0 has difficulties decompressing BWCC.DLL or ACCUSOFT.DLL
- during installation, you may have a previous version of BWCC.DLL or
- ACCUSOFT.DLL currently loaded in memory. Quit all other applications and restart
- the Setup progam.
-
- If you still have this problem, check the attributes/properties assigned to your installed
- version of BWCC.DLL or ACCUSOFT.DLL in the Windows System directory and
- verify only "ARCHIVE" is checked.
-
-
-
- 3. Printing with a Laser Printer or Ink Jet Printer
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Laser printers and Ink Jet printers have "unprintable regions" around
- the edge of the page. Typically, the unprintable region is between
- 1/8 & 1/4 of an inch. Each individual printer has its own alignment
- characteristics which can affect these unprintable regions. Therefore,
- if you are trying to center a drawing on a page for one of these printers,
- it may require some experimentation on your part to determine what type
- of margins you need to give your drawing in order to center it on a page.
-
- We suggest using the default page size shown in the drawing layout dialog.
- The page size that you see in the drawing layout dialog indicates the
- maximum printable area for your currently selected default printer for
- the current paper size. It is recommended that you leave 1/8" to 1/4"
- margins around the drawing. Once your drawing is finished, you can group
- the whole drawing and move it up, down, right, or left to center it with
- respect to your individual printer.
-
-
- 4. Printing on the Hewlett Packard LaserJet IV
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- If you have difficulty printing to your LaserJet IV printer try the
- following:
-
- A. Update your driver to the latest version. You can obtain the
- latest version from Hewlett Packard, CompuServe, your local
- dealer or many other on-line services.
-
- B. Use the LaserJet II or III printer driver.
-
-
-
- 5. Mirror effect for Text
- -------------------------
-
- You will not be able to flip text objects vertically or horizontally
- to create a "mirrored" effect. You will however be able to flip all
- other objects.
-
-
-
- OBTAINING REPLACEMENT DISKS
- -------------------------------
-
- Usually you receive one of the following messages if
- you have a bad disk:
-
- "General failure error reading drive..."
- "Sector not found.."
- "CRC error..."
- "Bad sector..."
- "Unrecoverable read error..."
- "Address mark not found..."
-
- To check your disks, use the DISKCOPY command to copy the
- entire disk. DISKCOPY reports any bad sectors. (See your
- DOS manual.) To order a replacement for a defective disk,
- call Technical Support at 1-319-395-7314. Within 30 days
- of purchase, we replace disks free. After this, contact
- Technical Support for prices.
