by T. S. Rose. V 295020
Written and compiled in G. F. A. Basic V2.0...
The instructions were written with St.Writer Elite V4.1....
This programme as you will see, is not yet finished and
has plenty of scope for further upgrading. I have kept the
instructions to a minimum, but I think that they should
suffice. The programme is mainly mouse driven
The screen shows a menu at the top
| DESK | GRID | DRAW | MEAS PAT | CONFIG | MORE | MAT |
A box at the right to show drawing information
And at the bottom
_______________________________________________________
| memory | sheet | fill | sheet | set | disc | used|
| left | size | pattern | info |info | free | time|
The screen, if left on the menue section, will blank after
about 5 mins. Press mouse to get drawing back.
When information is requested at the top left, if you enter
nothing but return you will go back to the menu. "except for
steps"
L.Mo. = Left Mouse button. R.Mo. = Right Mouse button.
BO.Mo. = The two mouse buttons at the same time, but you must
press the right one before the left. (menu selection)

ABOUT C.A.D " my address ".
GRID Sets the grid in inches or millimeters,"It also clears
the screen at the same time, So if you want to use the same
drawing after changing grid save it first in sheet save, Then
load it back after the new grid has been set, the drawing
stays the same size " Best not to reset in the middle of a
drawing.

next then take the mouse above the two points to produce an
arch. L.Mo. to set the arch. Right to leave"
TRIA Draw a triangle "L.Mo to set first point and again for
next. L.Mo to set .R.Mo to leave

CONFIG
sheet s You may save up to five sheets "select one on the
right with the L.Mo. button, You may clear the five sheets by
clicking with the L.MO. at the bottom on clr s Sheets saved
in internal memory, about 24k. per. sheet. Overlay will allow
any saved sheet to be overlayed on to the working sheet. Undo
will not work with overlay on."
sheet l You may load saved sheets by clicking at the right
selection, "L.Mo. for overwright, R.Mo. for transparent,
bottom for animation ANIM. Overlay willremove the overlayed
sheet selected with sheet s. overlay."
SAVE Saves sheet to disc. ".TEX about 24k."
LOAD Load sheet from disc. ".TEX"
part S Saves part of sheet to disc. ".PEX"
part L Loads part to screen. ".PEX"
COP/MOV Copyies part of the screen to another area "draw box
with mouse, L.Mo. to start and finish, R.Mo. to leave. Bo.Mo.
moves part of screen in box, to another area." Take care if
overlay is in use.
BLANK Set to ON or OFF "If fill is set the draw mode will
produce blanks, default is off"
TUR/MAG Turn L.Mo. to use, draw a box from top left to
bottom right, then turns this 90 deg. anticlock. Mag. Bo.Mo.
Well it just! works, when I get better at programming I will
do a better one, "L.Mo. to select area, change the magnified
area on the right with the mouse L.to draw R. to erase B.Mo.
to leave"
DISC FRE Gives the free space on the disc in drive A. at the
bottom of screen, right.
MORE

h-MIR-V L.Mo. to flip Horizontal. Bo.Mo. to flip Vertical.
L.Mo. to start and finish box R.Mo. to leave
HAR1/har2 HAR1 L.Mo. will do a full or quarter copy dump to
a Panasonic KX-P1123. Will also alow more text to be added,
after text is added enter 0 to all questions then L.Mo.

har2, Bo.MO. I hope it will do a hardcopy to the printer. "I
do not have a printer that will work on screen dump so am not
able to test"
MAT
The list of material that is shown can be selected, and will
calculate the material used and cost, you must enter pence
with a 0 in front of the decimal point eg. 32 pence = 00.32.
Some idea is given at the top left of what is required, It is
inmportant that if a * is asked for in a measument it is
placed in the right place, as the program uses this as a
reference. "You will go into draw mode, use the mouse as per
drawing, The information will be held and calculated by the
programme, and can be printed, via. PRINT. some drawing modes
only work left to right bottom to top"
I have taken out the bugs in MAT. and in CLR. MAT. sorry
about this but we lost a few bites through drop out on disc,
(thats my story and im sticking to it)
Glass you must enter 0 for size on glass
CLR MAT Clears all the information held on material used.
PRINT Prints the list of materials to either
printer,rs232,screen, or disc.(.MAT)
Files with the extender .MAT can only be SHOWN or PRINTED.
I hold the sole copyright to this program and it is placed in
the P.D. on the understanding that it may be freely copied,
and must include the files .PRG and .OOO....UNALTERED.
IT MAY NOT BE SOLD OR HIRED FOR PROFIT, OR USED IN THE
PROMOTION OF ANY PRODUCT without the authors concent
It is importent that the two files PRG. and OOO. are kept
together and not altered, as this will crash the programme.
NO RESPONSIBLEITY IS TAKEN FOR ANY PROBLEMS ARISING OR CAUSED
BY THE USE OF THIS PROGRAMME..OF ANY TYPE....
My thanks to my long suffering wife Brenda, and the
boys,Jim,Al,Dave,and Ed.
Thats your lot
