Mickey Manual
This utility is intended to be used mainly for Draw Programmes or as an aid
to making Templates or altering existing ones, but it also can be useful in
any Desktop operation when the position of the pointer requires to be
established.
When installed on the icon bar, clicking on the Mickey icon sets up two
windows;
Each shows the co-ords of the x and y axes separately on individual display
panels,these can be 'parked' at any position on the screen to suit a
particular layout.
There are two modes of working ;
1) with a grid when only whole units are displayed
2) without a grid when the display is a little more
accurate especially in the larger grid pitches.
Once the choice has been made the display panels react 'live' to the Mouse
movements taking the Origin to be at the normal bottom left hand corner of
the screen.
However the main feature of this system is the ability to resite the Origin
simply by clicking the Adjust(Right Hand) button of the mouse at the spot
required to be measured and the co-ords show a new zero at all of the display
panels affected.
When the mouse is moved to a new position the co-ords update the x and y
co-ords and also show the "hypotenuse" dimension labelled "RADIAL" during
the move until the required point/s have been reached (handy for circles).
To reset the Origin for the screen just click the Select(Left Hand) Button
anywhere on the screen.
Other features include the quick selection of units Centimtres,Inches
and OP.SYS units by clicking on the button icons provided. In between sizes
can be obtained by clicking on the display panel shown as ">>"
Increments are ;from 1 to 10 in 1's
" 10 to 30 in 5's
" 30 to 80 in 10's (80 gives centimtres)
and " 80 to 180 in 20's (180 gives inches)
Clicking above 180 returns the OS units to 1
Use and enjoy!!!!
