10,2,3
Copy/Move
  Copy or Move all elements enclosed within a user defined window from one 
  location in current drawing to another location.

  ■  Enclose the elements you want to copy or move in the flexible window. 
  ■  Click on the reference point (just like pinching the objects).
  ■  Drag the objects in the outlined window to the desired (new) location
     and press ENTER.

  If you selected COPY, you stay in that mode ( i.e.  move the cursor 
  to another location,  press ENTER to make another copy and so on) 
  until you press ESCAPE. 

  For instructions on how to make multiple copies and also modify the copies
  as you are copying them, see the EDIT ARRAY command.
11,2,4

              treats the curve as a single element.
  ■  SETUP - Select the type of complex curve to use.
     ■  LINES - Creates a complex curve made-up of straight lines.
                The difference between using this and the Draw/Line command
                is that the LINES generate a single element (i.e., only
                one reference point needed to refer to this element).
     ■  SPLINE   - Fits a cubic spline curve to points (up to 40 points can
                   be handled).  Result is a single complex element.
     ■  FREEHAND - Draws a freehand curve, as the cursor is moved, until 
                   SCAPE is pressed.
12,2,5   
Default
  Select Default Options for the current DRAFTC CHOICE session.
  ■ ASPECT - Set the aspect ratio for circles drawn on your monitor or
             printed by your printer.   The default aspect ratio is 1.41.
             Ellipses can be created by changing this ratio.
  ■ MOUSE  - Set the mouse sensitivity.  The lower this value the more
             sensitive the mouse response to your movements i.e., small
             hand movement corresponds to larger cursor movement.
  ■ RATE   - Rate at which the screen updating takes place.  If a rate
             of 1 is specified, the screen is updated as soon as each 
             element is redrawn.  A rate of 5 will update the screen 
             after every 5 elements have been drawn.
  ■ COLOR  - Change the current foreground drawing color.
  ■ BACKGD - Change the background color for current drawing.
  ■ LEVEL  - Degree of smoothness for the Complex, Spline curve.
13,2,6

  Many of the menus and commands in the program have multiple choices.  In 
  such cases a Dialog Box appears in the screen to help the user select the 
  desired option.   
  
  ■  The Dialog Box options can be selected by either moving the cursor to 
     that location or pressing the first letter of the command. 

  ■  In some Dialog Boxes, (e.g. those that display file names) selecting
     the UP or DOWN arrow keys will display more options (in this case 
     more file names).

  ■  Certain Dialog Boxes will remain on display until 'ACCEPT' is invoked.
   
15,3,1
Dimension

  ■   Select first point and press ENTER.  
  ■   Select second point and press ENTER.

  A dimension line (with arrows at both ends) is drawn, and the distance (in 
  number of current units) is printed on the line.  The orientation of the 
  lettering depends on the order the pts are defined (read from pt 1 to 2).

  See 'Units' for the selection of units available at this time.
16,3,2
Fill
  Fill patterns can be used to 'Paint' closed shapes.   The following patterns
  are available in DRAFT CHOICE:

  ■  NONE  -  No fill pattern is used.  This is the default mode.
  ■  BLANK -  Different than NONE.  Shapes marked as blank.
  ■  SOLID -  Shapes painted with current solid color.
  ■  HORIZ -  Fill pattern is made up if horizontal lines.
  ■  VERT  -  Shapes are painted with a vertical line pattern.
  ■  CROSS -  Pattern is made up of cross hatched lines.
  ■  RIGHT -  Fill pattern is straight lines slanted to the right.
  ■  DOT   -  Shapes painted with a tight dot pattern.
  ■  FINE  -  Fill pattern is made up of sparse dot pattern. 
  ■  CHECK -  Pattern is made up of a checkerboard pattern.
17,3,3
F-Keys
   The following Function keys are currently defined in DRAFTC CHOICE:

   ■  F1 - Invokes the DRAFTC CHOICE Help Screens.  Once the help screen
           appear, you can move to the desired topic using the arrow keys.
           Press ESC to return to the Drawing mode.

   ■  F2 - Plays back a recorded MACRO command key sequence.

   ■  F8 - Toggles the Orthogonal mode ON/OFF.  When this mode is turned on,
           all drawn line segments are horizontal or vertical. This mode can
           be adjusted while drawing an object.

   ■  F9 - Toggles the snap option ON/OFF.  This option can also be turned ON
           or OFF from the Options, Toggles menu.
18,3,4
Font
  ■  MAKE  -  Create a new letter font based on drawing elements currently on
              the screen.  You are prompted to define a character window, the
              lower left corner of the character (don't forget to account for
              blank space on either side of the character), and the alphabet 
              letter this character will replace.  To redefine an entire font
              you must individual define the shape of each letter.

  ■  READ  -  Read a new font file from disk.  You are presented with a dialog 
              window, similar to the File/Load command.   Loaded font becomes 
              effective only from the timer it is loaded (i.e., no effect on 
              previously written text).

  ■  WRITE -  Write the current font definition to disk.  Any changes to the
              current font will result in a prompt to SAVE upon exiting.
19,3,5
Grid/Snap
  GRID - Draws horizontal(X-spacing)  and vertical (Y-spacing) grid lines 
         on the screen.   Grid can be used with SNAP to restrict drawing 
         only on the intersections of the grid lines.  

  SNAP - Draw cursor to snap points like a magnet.  If SNAP is turned on, 
         then the START and END point of every line segment drawn will be 
         moved to the closest snap point.   If the snap and grid sizes are 
         the same, then all line segments drawn will be on the grid points.

              . . .
              . . .  GRID (x=8, y=16 will produce grid like this.
              . . .
              . . ■  SNAP (x=8, y=16) will force drawing exactly
              . . .                   on the point shown here.
20,3,6
Import
  Import a file into the current cursor location without erasing the current
  drawing.   Useful in combining drawings.  Five types of files can
  presently be imported.

  ASCII - Ascii file with Carriage Return/Line Feed between lines.
  VALUE - XY coordinates separated by commas.  Straight lines are assumed to
          join coordinates.  A continous line is terminated with a blank line

  PIC   - Lotus 123 (tm) and AS-EASY-AS (tm) pic format, graphics files.
  DWG   - DRAFT CHOICE drawing file, with extension .DCH .
21,3,7

           up and two increments right and finish the box.
26,4,5
Mark
  ■ This command places a construction mark at the point indicated by the
  cursor.  It will NOT appear in a printed output.  This construction mark 
  is the reference point used by all EDIT commands to modify the associated 
  element.

  ■ A special switch in the TOGGLE sub-menu. Turn ON or OFF the ability to 
  place construction MARK on a primitive element (lines, circles etc.).  

  Remember that these marks identify the primitive element.  For any 
  operation where you need to select the element, you MUST enclose the 
  reference mark in the selection window.

Misc.
  ■  ORIGIN - Return to the origin and restore magnification to base of 1.0.
     Screen is repositioned with coordinate 0,0 at lower left.   This is
     useful when after many manipulations and scaling of your drawing, it
     appears that the drawing has disappeared somewhere off the screen.
  ■  LAST - Swap last image with current image.  This includes the last
     magnification, last view point, origin, etc.   "LAST" does not refer to
     the image before an erase operation (i.e., it is not like an 'UNDO'
     command).
  ■  ZOOM - Specify magnification of screen.  (1.0 - reference).  The larger
     this value the larger the drawing will appear.  Of course, The larger the
     magnification factor specified, the smaller the portion of the drawing
     that can be displayed on the screen.  This command is different than the
     WINDOW command.  Every element currently on the screen is magnified by
     the specified factor.
30,5,2
Mouse
  In order for your mouse to operate, the mouse driver needs to be loaded
  before DRAFT CHOICE is started.  (For details on how to load the mouse
  driver, please consult the mouse user's manual - generally it can be
  accomplished by simply typing 'MOUSE', or your mouse's equivalent command,
  and pressing ENTER prior to starting DRAFT CHOICE.

  Once the program is started, the mouse operation is as follows:

  LEFT BUTTON -   Equivalent to the ENTER key on the keyboard.
  MIDDLE BUTTON - Same as RIGHT button.
  RIGHT BUTTON -  Equivalent to the ESCAPE key on the keyboard.

  To select a menu/command, move the cursor to the desired menu/command and
  press ENTER (i.i., left button).  The mouse movement sensitivity can be
  set using the Option, Default, Mouse command.
31,5,3
Pan
  Repositions the screen window.  The effect of PAN can be imagined by
  pretending to pinch the drawing with your fingers and drag it into a
  new position.

  ■ Select reference point , press ENTER.  As you are moving the cursor,
    all elements on the screen are moving as well.
  ■ Once the desired display position is reached, press ENTER to finalize.
32,5,4
Ports
  Select either a parallel port or a serial port to send the output when the
  Plot, Go command is executed.  Note that I/O with serial ports is set at
  1200 Baud.  At this point, the serial port baud rate can not be modified.
  In later versions of the program, a faster serial transfer rate will be
  supported.

     ■  LPT1 -  Select parallel printer port #1 for graphics output.
     ■  LPT2 -  Select parallel printer port #2 for graphics output.
     ■  COM1 -  Select Serial communications port#1 for graphics output.
     ■  COM2 -  Select Serial communications port#2 for graphics output.
     ■  FILE -  Specify a file name to send printer/plotter output.

  If a serial port is selected, it should be initialized using the DOS
  'MODE' command to an appropriate BAUD rate (consult your DOS manual).
33,5,5
Plotting
    Make a hard copy of the drawing on either a FX-type printer or a plotter.
    The following commands/options are available:

    ■  GO - Produce drawing on indicated DEVICE.   Once printing/plotting
            starts, press ESCAPE to suspend drawing process and return to the
            menu.  (Make sure the printing/plotting device is on line before
            invoking the GO command.
    ■  EJECT - Advance the printer/plotter one page.
    ■  IMAGE - Specify the characteristics of the printed image.
               >  Orientation: LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT
               >  Density of print/plot: HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW
               >  Size: WIDTH and Vertical SCALE
    ■  DEVICE - Select the device to be used for printing/plotting and the
                output port the device is connected to.

Slides
  Used to develop animated drawings.  Maximum number of slides is 50. 

    ■  GET   -  Get defined window and assign next slide number.
                Once element(s) are selected you are asked to supply the 
                delay time (milliseconds) for the currently selected slide.
    ■  PLAY  -  Display slides in the order they were defined.
    ■  STEP - Single step through defined slides (pressing S for each slide). 
    ■  RESET -  Erase all defined slides from slide buffer.
  When slides are created, the desired shape(s) should be included in a box 
  prior to being defined.  This box will act as the outline and will thus 
  clear every time a new slide is loaded.  If an outline frame is not defined,
  the Play command will leave spurious elements since the previous slide
  might not be erased by the new slide placed on the screen.
  NOTE: Memory for slides is dynamically allocated.  A memory limit can
        be reached even before 50 slides have been defined.

Start!!
  STARTING THE PROGRAM:
   ■  Type DRAFTC  , press [ENTER]    (This enables CGA & Hercules graphics)
   ■  Type DRAFTC /E, press [ENTER]    (This enables EGA/VGA graphics cards)
   ■  For AT&T monitors and video cards; Type DRAFTC /ATT, press [ENTER]

      Using a Mouse:               Using the Keyboard:
      with  BUTTONS

    - Left    = ENTER            - Arrow keys move cursor one pixel.
    - Middle  = ESCAPE           - PGUP increases cursor movement
    - Right   = ESCAPE             by factor of 10 each time.
                                 - PGDN returns cursor movement
                                   to 1 pixel each time.

 To select    >>     1. Move cursor to HIGHLIGHT command and press ENTER

Symbols
  Create a symbol library that is saved with the current drawing:
  ■  MAKE -  Assign a block of elements a SYMBOL name.  The block can then
     be used as an entity anywhere in the drawing.
     1. Select the element(s) to be part of the defined symbol.
     2. Supply the name to use for the defined symbol.
     3. Define a reference point for the symbol.  (This is 
        important since it dictates the manner the symbol is retrieved.
  ■  USE - Use a predefined graphics symbol composed of primitive  
     elements.  A menu of symbol names is presented.  Highlight the symbol 
     name and press ENTER.   You can preview the selected symbol by
     using the ICON command in the dialog box.
  ■  DELETE - Deletes a symbol from the current symbol library.  If
              this is not selected when a new drawing is loaded, the
              current symbols become part of the new drawing.
  ■  RESET - Delete ALL symbols from current library.
37,6,2
Text
  ■  PLACE - Select the point where you want the text to be placed.
     Note that the text font can be selected from the SYMBOL menu.
  ■  SETUP - Set the text options described below:
          ANGLE: Print all text from this point on at selected angle.
          RIGHT: Print all text right justified about selected point.
          LEFT: Print al text left justified about selected point.
          CENTERED: Print all text centered about selected point.
  ■  The current font can be changed by loading a new font file,
     (see SYMBOL, FONT command).
  ■  TEXT is also a special toggle switch in the TOGGLES sub-menu.
     Disables text drawing on screen and places a line in the position 
     occupied by the text string.   This speeds up  the screen redrawing 
     quite a bit in any drawing with significant amounts of text.   Even 
     when disabled, all text will appear when plotting the drawing.
38,6,3
Toggles
  A check mark next to a toggle switch indicates it has been selected.
  
  ■  COORD - Display the cursor coordinates at the bottom of the screen.
  ■  DRAG  - Leave a trace from point to point, as the cursor moves, when
             in the DRAW mode.  
  ■  MARK  - Display the construction mark for all primitive elements.  This
             is the only point needed to access the element.
  ■  TEXT  - Display all text in the current drawing.  If De-selected, only
             lines are displayed in place of text (faster screen updates).
  ■  B&W   - Set your color monitor to Black and White mode.
  ■  AUTO  - Not used
  ■  FILL  - Select the default fill (painting) pattern.
  ■  STYLE - Select the default line thickness and style.
