MagnifiCAD is a computer-aided  WTXT   <design program, which allows you to produce drawings in 2D WTXT   :with the help of a variety of tools. MagnifiCAD supports WTXT   >different line styles, hatching, colors, editing elements at WTXT   @different topological levels (element, segment and point), and WTXT   ;can exchange files with other CAD packages supporting the  WTXT   DXFfile format. WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   1.1 System RequirementsWTXT    WTXT   MagnifiCAD requires: WTXT    WTXT   +		 An Amiga with Workbench 3.0 or above,  WTXT   ,        preferrably with a 68020 processor.WTXT   		 1MB memory.WTXT    WTXT   ;The size of the projects is limited only by how much free  WTXT    memory you have in your Amiga. WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   1.2 Registration WTXT    WTXT   :MagnifiCAD is a ShareWare program and may be distributed WTXT   7freely.

The other WTXT   :two types, text and symbols, play a supporting role in a WTXT   	drawing. WTXT    WTXT   ?A polyline is a series of connected line segments, and may be  WTXT   9open or closed. A polyline may consist of only one line  WTXT   Bsegment.  Aspecial polyline type, the rectangle, is constrained WTXT   #to preserve its rectangular shape. WTXT    WTXT   :An arc is represented by the parameters that are used to WTXT   @generate it, not by line segments such as in polylines. An arc WTXT   Ecan be open (a partial circle) or closed (a full circle or ellipse). WTXT   >Text elements consists of a character string and can only be WTXT   placed horizontally. WTXT    WTXT   =Symbols are elements composed of several other elements and  WTXT   @are useful for repetitions. When the symbols are created, they WTXT   <are placed in a library of symbols, from which they may be WTXT   <retrieved and repeatedly placed in a drawing as many times WTXT   as necessary.WTXT    WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   2.0 Screen ElementsWTXT    WTXT   >The default MagnifiCADscreen setup consists of two windows: WTXT   ?the Tools Palette and a Project Window. In addition to these,  WTXT   &other palettes can also be displayed.WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   2.1 The Tools PaletteWTXT    WTXT   >The tools palette contains all the tools you use to draw and WTXT   modify entities. WTXT    WTXT      WTXT   2.2 The Project Window WTXT    WTXT   <The Project Window consists of several components, such as:WTXT      WTXT   5The Window Border - where the projects name and the  WTXT   ?current layer will be displayed, and where you can resize and  WTXT   .move the window as a normal Intuition window.WTXT   6The Coordinates and Snap Bar - where you can see the WTXT   >current coordinate, the angle, and select different types of WTXT   )snaps to be applied to the input points. WTXT   <The Text Information Bar - where you get information about WTXT   the drawing operations.WTXT   9The Drawing Field - where the projects elements will be  WTXT   shown. WTXT    WTXT   The Project Window BorderWTXT    WTXT   ;The border of the project window contains the name of the  WTXT   @current project, the current working layer, and scrollers used WTXT   <to move the current view. There are two scrollers, one for WTXT   *vertical and one for horizontal movement.WTXT    WTXT   ,The Project Window Coordinates and Snap barWTXT    WTXT   =The coordinates and snap bar contains information about the  WTXT   >current input point and the tools to affect the input points.WTXT      WTXT   CoordinatesWTXT    WTXT   =The coordinate gadgets shows the coordinates of the current  WTXT   ?position on screen. This will be absolute values, except when  WTXT   <in the middle of a drawing operation, when the coordinates WTXT   Cwill be relative to the first input point. The user can also type  WTXT   Bin values in these gadgets, instead of using the mouse to select WTXT   points.WTXT    WTXT   >The angle gadget shows the current angle. This angle will be WTXT   =measured from the rightmost end of a circle, except when in  WTXT   8the middle of some drawing operations, when it will be WTXT   ;measured from the line between the first and second input  WTXT   point. WTXT      WTXT   
Snap gadgets WTXT    WTXT   7The snap modes determine how the input points will be  WTXT   @selected. The modes are divided into three groups, called Grid WTXT   >Snap, Directional Snap and Object Snap. See section 10.0 for WTXT   #more information about snap types. WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   (The Project Window Text Information BarWTXT    WTXT   =The Text Information Bar is where you get information about  WTXT   ;the current operation. Messages will be shown, explaining  WTXT   >what the next mouse click will do, and what modes are active.WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   !The Project Window Drawing Field WTXT    WTXT   9The drawing field is where you build up your project or  WTXT   <drawing. The current drawing mode is selected and shown in WTXT   the Tools Palette. WTXT    WTXT   ?The current coordinate is shown and the snap mode is selected  WTXT   !in the Coordinates and Snap Bar. WTXT    WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   3.0 Types of drawing tools WTXT    WTXT   ?The tool palette contains all the tools you need to draw. The  WTXT   0tools are divided into modifiers and operators.WTXT    WTXT   >The modifier tools are the element generation modifiers, the WTXT   0topological levels and the self/copy modifiers.WTXT    WTXT   =The operators are the element generation tools, pick/delete  WTXT   <tools, geometric transformations and attribute assignments.WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   3.1 The drawing modifiersWTXT    WTXT   >The modifier groups occupy one row in the tools palette each.WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   !The Element Generation Modifiers WTXT    WTXT   AThese modifiers occupy the first row of the tools palette. They  WTXT   <determine which type of element the drawing operators will WTXT   :generate. The two types are Line mode and Enclosure Mode.WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   The Topological levels WTXT    WTXT   @The topological levels are on the 7th and 8th row of the tools WTXT   Apalette. They determine what topological level to work at, i.e.  WTXT   <element, segment or point. All transformations done to the WTXT   ;selected elements, segments or points are affected by the  WTXT   topological levels.  WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   The Self/Copy ModifiersWTXT    WTXT   <These modifiers occupy the tenth row of the tools palette. WTXT   :They determine whether geometric transformations will be WTXT   8applied to the original object or a copy of the object.WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   3.2 The drawing operatorsWTXT    WTXT   <The second group in the tools palette contains the drawing WTXT   =tools. These generate line or enclosure elements, depending  WTXT   +on the active element generation modifier. WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   Draw PolylineWTXT    WTXT   8These tools draw open or closed polylines. This may be WTXT   polylines or polyarcs. WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   
Draw Polygon WTXT    WTXT   ;These tools draw polygons. This may be rectangle, 3-point  WTXT    rectangles or n-sided polygons.WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   	Draw Arc WTXT    WTXT   :These tools draws open or closed arcs. This may be arcs, WTXT   circles or ellipses. WTXT    WTXT    WTXT   Pick WTXT    WTXT   @This tool is used to select elements.
