- Introduction
- ____________________________________________________
-
- Plans is a high speed, versatile drafting program. Plans uses a
- hierarchical (DOS like) data structure allowing the user to group
- and manipulate complex drawing objects including the entire drawing.
-
- Using the tools provided, the user can create drawings that are very
- detailed and accurate. A pen plotter or high resolution printer is
- required for the highest quality drawings. Plans can print the
- drawing on any Preferences selected graphics printer.

- Introduction to Plans3D
- ____________________________________________________
-
- Plans3D allows the user to quickly create mechanical and
- architectural models and then render them to create 2D
- perspective line drawings. These drawings can then be
- edited like any other drawing. Plans3D uses a common
- workspace for both 2D and 3D. This allows the user to
- extrude objects in a natural way and to use nearly all of
- the 2D commands to manipulate 3D objects in a natural way.

-
- New functions:
- ____________________________________________________
-
- Hit number keys to emulate menu subitem selections.
-
- The Snap variables and a few others are in their own window
- now, use '~' to open.
-
- Hit ESC when drawing to numerically edit a new entry.
-
- Use Numeric Edit to numerically edit anything about any entity.
-
- Plans can now do a simple import and export of DXF files.
-
- Bezier curves have been added.
-
- Plans can now load Compugraphic outline fonts from 2 sources:
- The .type files in the FONTS:_Bullet_Outlines directory
- The .lib files in CGFONTS:
