2.      Welcome to SchemaCAD

Welcome to SchemaCAD.  SchemaCAD gives you the power to design 
schematics starting from the initial idea to the final drawing. These are 
just a small description of the kind of schematics you can do with 
SchemaCAD:

*	hydraulics,
*	pneumatics,
*	ladder,
*	electrical,
*	grafcet,
*	HVAC.

2.1.	How SchemaCAD Works

When you start working on a drawing,  you'll usually begin by choosing 
the components you're going to place on the drawing.  To place 
components on the drawing you can either choose them from the symbol 
menu or import them from an already defined block.

SchemaCAD is versatile.  You can define components that are not 
supplied in the standard menu, and with these components you can 
define as many blocks as you want.

As you build the diagram, you'll have to connect symbols.  The ROUTER 
will help you to connect the pieces.  The ROUTER is an intelligent piece 
of software that will permit you to optimize the flow of lines between 
CONNECTION POINTS.

You'll have the possibility to move, rotate, flip, delete components from 
the drawing.  These operations will trigger the ROUTER to optimize 
again the flow of lines.

You'll have the possibility to see your drawings at any scale you want 
with the ZOOM commands.

When you want to have a copy of your drawing, just select the command 
PRINT and you'll obtain a print of the drawing and/or the PART LIST.

3.      Before You Begin

This section explains what you need to do before you can start using 
SchemaCAD, and how you can begin to learn to use it.

3.1.	What You Need to Run SchemaCAD

To run SchemaCAD you need the following hardware and software 
configuration:

*	an 80386 computer with a hard disk and a floppy disk drive,
*	at least 3 Mbytes of free space on your hard disk,
*	VGA screen and card,
*	640K of memory,
*	a MicroSoft compatible mouse,
*	a printer (9 pin, 24 pin or Laser),
*	DOS.

Note:	You don't need a math coprocessor to run SchemaCAD, but if 
	you have one the performance of the software will improve 
	greatly. (4 to 7 times faster)

3.2.	The License Agreement

By using this program you indicate your acceptance of the following 
conditions:

You agree to use SchemaCAD entirely at your own risk, and will 
indemnify and hold harmless its author and distributors against any 
action resulting from the use of SchemaCAD.  The author and 
distributors of SchemaCAD do not warrant it fit or suitable for any 
particular purpose.

You agree that SchemaCAD is protected by Canadian, U.S. and 
international copyright law, and is the property of Paul Guimond and 
Simulation Soft Expert inc.

3.3.	Backing Up the Master Disk

Before you install SchemaCAD, you should make a backup copy of the 
master disk.  We suggest that you use the Microsoft Windows File 
Manager to help you back up the master disk.

4.      Installation

You must install SchemaCAD on your computer before you can use the 
software.  This section describes how to install and run SchemaCAD.

4.1.	Before You Start

Before you start the installation procedure, you should:

*	back up the SchemaCAD master disk,
*	read this section,
*	insure that your computer meets the requirements for SchemaCAD.

4.2.	Installing SchemaCAD

SchemaCAD does not have a complicated installation process.  Setting 
up to run on your system simply consists of running the setup program, 
which unpacks and installs the files.  INSTALL.BAT will transfer the 
necessary files from the master disk to the working directory of your hard 
disk.  

To install the program:

1.	insert the master disk in the disk drive,
2.	call the program from the disk.	INSTALL Z

Note:	During installation, SchemaCAD needs 3 MBytes of hard disk 
	space to run.

4.3.	Starting SchemaCAD

To start SchemaCAD, type SCHEMA Z

The first thing you see is the introductory screen.  You will have to wait 5 
seconds.  After the delay the design sheet will appear.

5.      Starting Work

This section covers the information you need to start drawing with 
SchemaCAD, from finding your way in the menu, to loading and saving 
drawings.

5.1.	Using the Mouse

We use the following terms in this User's Manual to indicate that you 
have to make special manipulation with your mouse:

*       Click           Press and release the left mouse button.
*       Cancel          Press and release the right mouse button.
*       Drag            Hold down the left mouse button and move it.
*       Select          Position the mouse and click the left button.
	
5.2.	The SchemaCAD Window

The SchemaCAD window contains all the tools and commands you need 
to create professional looking schematics.

 

Figure 1 The SchemaCAD Window

5.2.1.  The Status Line

On the status line, you will find information about:

*	the free memory,   			(100% when you start)
*	the operation you are doing,
*	the position of the mouse.		(X,Y)

If you look at the free memory index during the construction of a 
schematic, you will notice it decreasing.  The maximum number 
of components you can put on a drawing is 1000 (if all the 
memory is available for the schematic, no TSR program in 
memory).

5.2.2.	The Menu

In the menu you will find the command that you can select to 
produce a drawing.  To select a command, just move the 
mouse to a menu item, you will see a yellow box around the 
command you are pointing at, and click on the mouse.  

5.2.3.	The Work Area

The whole screen is the work area.  When you select a 
command from the menu, the menu disappears.  You can use 
the whole screen to make your schematics.

5.3.    Getting Started

The first step to creating a schematic is to load an existing drawing, and 
make modification on it, or create a new one.

5.3.1.	Opening an Existing Drawing

If you want to load an existing drawing you must:

1.	select LOAD SKETCH in the menu,
2.	select the name of the file in the file selector,
3.	click on the name of the file you want.

Note:	When you scroll in the file selector, the drawing you 
	are pointing to with the mouse is showed in the preview 
	box at the right of the screen.

	At any time, you can cancel the LOAD SKETCH 
	operation by pressing the right mouse button.

Figure 2 Loading a File

5.3.2.  Starting a New Drawing

If you want to start with a new page you must:

1.	select LOAD SKETCH in the menu,
2.	select the NEW.SKT in the file selector,
3.	click on.

Note:	NEW.SKT is a drawing file with nothing inside.  When 
	you load it, you are erasing all the working memory.  If 
	you don't have this file, you can create it by saving an 
	empty drawing.

5.3.3.	Saving a Drawing

If you want to save the drawing you are working on, you must:

1.	select SAVE SKETCH in the menu,
2.	type the name of the file in the dialog box.  

The name of the file can have up to eight characters.  The 
extension is automatically given by SchemaCAD.  Extension 
for schema files is SKT. 

5.3.4.	Quitting SchemaCAD

If You want to quit SchemaCAD, select Quit in the menu.  When 
you quit, SchemaCAD will save a copy of the drawing you are 
working on.  The name of the backup copy is "QUIT.SKT".  This 
file is always overwritten by a new one when you quit 
SchemaCAD.

5.4.    Zooming and Panning

Zoom is like a magnifying window you move on the drawing.  To see 
more of the drawing, but with less detail, you must reduce the zoom 
scale.  To zoom on a specific detail, you will have to increase the zoom 
scale.

When SchemaCAD starts, the zoom factor is equal to 1 and the 
coordinate of the lower left corner of the screen is set to 0,0 and is 
called the origin.  You can modify the zoom factor and the coordinate of 
the lower left corner with the four zoom commands.

The four zoom commands are:
				*	PAN
				*	ZOOM ALL
				*	ZOOM SCALE
				*	ZOOM WINDOW

PAN

The PAN command will change the position of the viewing window on 
the current display. You will have to designate two points with the 
mouse.  The first point is the starting point for the displacement.  The 
second point is the destination point.  When you have selected the two 
points, SchemaCAD will regenerate the drawing.   

Note:	The selection of the second point is made by dragging the 
	mouse to the destination point.


ZOOM ALL

When you select the ZOOM ALL command, SchemaCAD will 
regenerate the drawing to display the entire drawing in the largest scale 
possible while still fitting it on the screen.

ZOOM WINDOW

When you select the ZOOM WINDOW command, you will have to 
designate two points with the mouse.  The first point is the first corner of 
the window.  The second point is the other corner of the window.  When 
you have selected the two points, SchemaCAD regenerates the drawing 
by fitting the window you have selected inside the screen.   

Note:	The selection of the second point is made by dragging the 
	mouse to the second corner of the window.  You will see a 
	dotted box enclosing the view area to zoom.

ZOOM SCALE

With the ZOOM SCALE command, you can directly input the zoom 
factor for the drawing.  After you have selected the command, you will 
see a dialog box where you will input the new zoom factor.  The value 
you will enter is a relative value.  If you enter 0.6 you will reduce the 
zoom factor to 60% of the previous value.  If you enter 2.3 you will 
multiply the zoom factor by 2.3.

 

Figure 3 ZOOM SCALE

6.      Adding and Editing Components

In this section are the commands you can use to make your schematics.  
These commands work with the intelligent ROUTER to give you the 
highest performance in your CAD work.

6.1.    Adding Component

Adding components to the drawing is like adding real components in a 
control panel or an assembly.  SchemaCAD sees the components as 
components and not as a group of lines.  If you select the single acting 
cylinder, SchemaCAD will know it is drawing a single acting cylinder and 
where the insertion point and the connection point are in the drawing.

6.1.1.	Drawing Components

When you want to insert a new component in the drawing, you 
must select SYMBOL.  We give you a standard library of 
components you can use.  If you need components who are not 
there, you can create them with the command GRAPHICS and 
DESIGN SYMB.  You can create or redesign 500 symbols and 
use them in your schematics.

After you have chosen the command, a graphic menu will 
display 25 symbols on the screen.  To select one of them, just 
select the symbol with the mouse.  The menu will disappear and 
you will see the component drawn in shadow on the screen.  
Move the component to its insertion, point and click the 
mouse.  After you have inserted the component you will see 
another component in shadow.  If you want to insert it, just 
move it to its insertion point and click the mouse.  If you don't 
want it, just cancel with the mouse.

If the component you want is not on the graphic menu, you can 
scan the pages of the menu by clicking on the mouse index 
with the number from 1 to 20.  When you click on 1, you will see 
what is on page 1. 

As you add components to the drawing, you will note a number
that is inserted near the component.  This number shows the 
uniqueness of the component.  Each component has a number 
and it cannot be repeated.  Two components can't have the 
same number.

Special note:	If you pick a connecting point (the symbol made 	
		with a filled circle on pages 2 and 6 of the 	
		menu) and you place it over a line, the line will 	
		be broken into two parts and the two parts will 	
		be connected to the new connection point that 	
		you have just inserted.

 

Figure 4 Connection Points and Insertion Points

6.1.2.  Adding Text

You can insert text to add information to your drawing.  A string 
of text is treated like a component of the schematic.  To add text 
to the drawing, select the TEXT command.  

The first thing to do is to click the mouse where you want to 
insert text.  Afterwards you will see a dialog box in which you will 
input the text you want to display along with the size.  The 
maximum length of the text is 30 characters and you can input 
letters, numbers and special characters.  There is no restriction 
on the size.

You can cancel the command with the right mouse button. 

 

Figure 5 TEXT Command

6.1.3.  Connecting Components With Lines

This command shows you the power of SchemaCAD.  The LINE 
SYMB command uses one of the most powerful piece of drawing 
software you have seen until now, we call it the ROUTER.  To 
select, go on the LINE SYMB command and click the mouse.

To connect two components, just point the mouse near the first 
connection point and click.  You don't need to be on the point, 
the ROUTER will find the nearest point.  You will see a shadow 
line between the first connection point and the mouse position.  
Go near the second connection point and click the mouse.  

The ROUTER draws two lines.  The first line goes horizontally 
from the first connection point to the horizontal position of the 
second connection point.  The second line goes vertically from 
the second connection point to the vertical position of the first 
connection point.  If you invert the order of selection of the 
connection points, you obtain a different path for the line.

Figure 6 LINE SYMB Command (connecting lines)


The ROUTER selects the kind of line it must draw.  If the two
connection points are of the power type, the ROUTER draws 
a full line.  If one of the point is of the pilot type, the ROUTER 
draws a dashed line.  The ROUTER will not connect mixed 
types of connection points, like electrical type and power 
type.

 

Figure 7 LINE SYMB Command (line type)

6.2.    Editing Component

The editing commands act upon components allowing them to be 
moved, deleted, rotated, flipped, scaled, colored or combinations 
thereof.  These commands work in combination with the ROUTER so 
you can quickly see the results of you action on the lines and the 
network.

6.2.1.	Moving a Component

This command translates the selected component into a new 
position.  To move a component:

1.	select MOVE SYMB in the menu,
2.	go onto the component you want to move and click,
3.	move the component to the new location and click,
4.	go onto another component you want to move or cancel.

Shadow moving occurs with the movement of the selected 
component.  When you click the mouse on the new location of 
the component, you will see a regeneration of the drawing to 
update the new positions of the connecting lines.  You can't 
move lines alone.

 

Figure 8 Moving a Component

Figure 9 Regenerating the drawing after MOVE

6.2.2.  Mirroring a Component

This command will cause the selected component to be mirrored  
across the vertical axis.  To mirror a component:

1.	select FLIP SYMB in the menu,
2.	go onto the component you want to flip and click,
3.	go onto another component you want to flip or cancel.

You can't FLIP TEXT.


6.2.3.	Changing Component Orientation

This command will cause the selected component to be rotated 
at 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees counter-clockwise.  To rotate a 
component:

1.	select ROTATE SYMB and the DIRECTION in the menu,
2.	go onto the component you want to rotate and click,
3.	go onto another component you want to rotate or cancel.

 

Figure 10 Selecting the Orientation

6.2.4.  Changing the Scale of a Component

This command will cause the selected component to be scaled 
to one of  the seven standard scale factors { 8, 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 
1/8 }.  To scale a component:

1.	select SCALE SYMB and the SIZE in the menu,
2.	go onto the component you want to scale and click,
3.	go onto another component you want to scale or cancel.

If you want to SCALE TEXT, see the command EDIT.

 

Figure 11 Selecting the Scale


Figure 12 Editing Commands


6.2.5.	Changing the Color of a Component

This command will cause the selected component to be colored 
with one of the sixteen standards colors { Black, Blue, Green, 
Cyan, Red, Magenta, Brown, Light Gray, Dark Gray, Light Blue, 
Light Green, Light Cyan, Light Red, Light  Magenta, Yellow, 
White }.  To color a component:

1.	select COLOR and the COLOR in the menu,
2.	go onto the component you want to color and click,
3.	go onto another component you want to color or cancel.

6.2.6.	Deleting components

This command will cause the selected component to be deleted 
from the schematic. To delete a component:

Be sure of what you are doing, because there is no UNDO 
command.

1.	select DELETE SYMB in the menu,
2.	go onto the component you want to delete and click,
3.	go onto another component you want to delete or cancel.

Lines who connect to the component you DELETE will also be 
deleted.

If you want to delete a LINE, go onto the point where the line 
bends and click the mouse.

7.      Using blocks

Blocks are standard circuits that enclose symbols and connecting lines.  
With blocks you can design complex schematics from standard circuits.  
Blocks are easy to create and manipulate and they give you the power 
to customize your working environment.
 
7.1.	Loading a Block

Loading a block is like loading a file, except that you don't erase the 
working memory.  It is a merge of the block and the schematic in the 
working memory.

If you want to load a block you must:

1.	select BLOCK LOAD in the menu,
2.	select the name of the block in the file selector,
3.	click on the name of the file you want,
4.	select the insertion point of the block.

Notes:	When you scroll in the file selector, the block you are pointing 
	to with the mouse is showed in the preview box at the right of 
        the screen.
	At any time, you can cancel the BLOCK LOAD operation by 
	pressing the right mouse button.

7.2.	Saving a Block

Saving a block give you the opportunity to save standard circuits as 
building blocks for bigger schematics.  It increases your design speed.  

If you want to save a block, you must:

1.	select BLOCK SAVE in the menu,
2.	type the name of the file in the dialog box,
3.	select the block you want to save by dragging the mouse over it,
4.	put the mouse where you want the insertion point and click.

The name of the file can have up to 8 characters.  The extension is 
automatically given by SchemaCAD.  The extension is "CIR".

7.3.    Moving a Block

This command translates the selected components into a new position.  
To move a block of components:

1.	select BLOCK MOVE in the menu,
2.	select the block you want to move by dragging the mouse over it,
3.	click on the starting point of displacement,
4.	drag the mouse to the ending point of displacement.

8.      The Options

The next commands allow you to change the ways you will see your 
information on the drawings.

8.1.	GRID

The grid is visibly represented by a dot at each 1/8" in the horizontal and 
vertical directions.  The grid can be turned on and off by selecting the 
menu GRID.  When the zoom is too small, SchemaCAD doesn't 
generate the grid.

8.2.	MARK SYMB

Marks are special symbols used by SchemaCAD to help you identify 
different information on the drawing.  SchemaCAD has a special mark 
for insertion point and for the different kind of connection points.  You 
can turn marks on and off by selecting the menu command 
MARK SYMB.  Marks are never printed on paper, you can only see 
them on the screen.

 

Figure 13 Marks and Part Number

8.3.	NUMBER SYMB

Part number is automatically assigned by SchemaCAD.  This number 
shows the uniqueness of the component.  Each component has a 
number and it cannot be repeated.  (Two components can't have the 
same number.)

The part number is hidden from the schematics when no information is 
linked to the component.  When the part number is on and you have 
information linked to the component, you will see a bubble with a 
number connecting to the component.  The number inside the circle is 
the part number of the component. You may turn this representation on 
and off by selecting the menu NUMBER SYMB.

9.      New Symbols

SchemaCAD comes with standard symbols.  Some of the symbols are 
for electric, ladder or GRAFCET, but the majority of them are for fluid 
power.  

We could not include all the symbols you might come across in your 
field, so we give you the opportunity to create your own custom symbols.  
You can create and redesign the 500 symbols, and use them in your 
schematics.

9.1.	Drawing Graphic Entities

You must design custom symbols directly in SchemaCAD.  You can 
draw circle, arc, line, rectangle and arrow with GRAPHICS menu.  You 
can also import the entity part of DXF files you have made with AutoCAD 
or any other CAD which produces DXF files.  Symbols can only include 
the graphic entities of the GRAPHICS menu.  A symbol can include 800 
graphic entities.

A symbol can not include another symbol.

 

Figure 14 Marks and Part Number

9.1.1.  Circle

The first tool we will see is the circle.  With this tool, you can 
produce circles on the screen.
  
To draw a circle:

1.	select the circle symbol in the menu,
2.	click the mouse to indicate the center of the circle,
3.	drag the mouse to show the radius of the circle,
4.	when you have finished drawing circles, cancel.

9.1.2.	Arc

The second tool is the arc.  With the arc tool, you can produce 
part of a circle on the screen.  

To draw an arc:

1.	select the arc symbol in the menu,
2.	click the mouse on the first point of the arc,
3.	click the mouse on the middle point of the arc,
4.	click the mouse on the last point of the arc,
5.	when you have finished drawing arcs, cancel.

9.1.3.	Line 

The third tool is the line.  With the line tool, you will produce 
straight lines at any angle on the screen.  

To draw a line:

1.	select the line symbol in the menu,
2.	click the mouse on the first point of the line,
3.	drag the mouse to the second point of the line,
4.	when you have finished drawing lines, cancel.

9.1.4.	Rectangle 

The fourth tool is the rectangle.  With the rectangle tool, you will 
produce rectangle on the screen.  

To draw a rectangle:

1.	select the rectangle symbol in the menu,
2.	click the mouse on the first corner of the rectangle,
3.	drag the mouse to the opposite corner of the rectangle,
4.	when you have finished drawing rectangle, cancel.

9.1.5.	Arrow

The fifth tool is the arrow.  With the arrow, you will produce 
straight lines at any angle on the screen, and on one side of the 
line you will get an arrow.  

To draw an arrow:

1.	select the arrow symbol in the menu,
2.	click the mouse on the first point of the arrow,
3.	drag the mouse to the second point of the arrow (on this 
        side you will see the tip of the arrow),
4.	when you have finished drawing arrows, cancel.


9.1.6.	Fill

The fifth tool is the fill.  The fill gives you the opportunity to put a 
plain fill in a part of the symbol.  The part you put the fill in must 
be closed.  If it is not closed, you're going to fill the whole 
symbol and the schematic. 

To fill a part of the symbol:

1.	select the fill symbol in the menu (the box filled in white),
2.	click the mouse in the region you want to fill (it must be a 
        closed region),
3.	when you have finished filling, cancel.

9.1.7.  Line Type

When you have lines in the symbol, you can change their types.  
SchemaCAD gives you ten line types to choose from.  

To change a type of line:

1.	click on the line type you want,
2.	click on the line you want to change,
3.	when you have finished, cancel.

You can only change the type of line entities.  You can't change 
circles, arcs, rectangle or arrows.

9.1.8.	Delete

This command will cause the selected object to be deleted from 
the symbol. To delete an object:

Be sure of what you are doing, because there is no UNDO 
command.

1.	select DELETE in the menu,
2.	go onto the entity you want to delete and click,
3.	go onto another entity you want to delete or cancel.

9.2.Designing the Symbol

When you are ready to design a new symbol, select the DESIGN SYMB 
in the menu.

you will see a box of 3"x3" moving with your mouse.  Move the box to 
include all the entities you want in the new symbol.  Every entity who is 
not completely inside the box is not included inside the symbol 
definition.

 

Figure 15 Selection Box


After you have selected the entities for the symbol, SchemaCAD asks 
you to select the insertion point.  Each symbol has an insertion point 
and it can't have more than one.  The insertion point tells SchemaCAD 
where to insert the component in the schematic.  When you insert a new 
component or you move one on the drawing, it is the insertion point 
who tells SchemaCAD where to draw the component in the drawing.  
Click on the symbol where you want to put the insertion point. 

The third step in the indication of the connection points.
Connection points are used by the ROUTER to connect lines between 
components.  You must assign a type to a connection point.  Types are:

*	power,
*	pilot,
*	electrical.

If you don't assign connection points to a component, it will be 
impossible to connect lines to it.  If you want to assign a connection 
point to a symbol:

1.	click where you want to put the connection point, 
2.	when you have finished, cancel.


The last step is to tell SchemaCAD where you want to place the new 
symbol in the graphic menu.  The place you pick can be empty or can 
have a symbol already defined.  If you replace a symbol, the old symbol 
will be destroyed and replaced by the new one you just defined.  The 
new symbol will replace the old one in all the drawings you produce.

If the symbol you want to edit is not in the graphic page, you can browse  
the graphic pages of the menu, with the mouse index from 1 to 20.  
When you select 1, you will see what is on page 1.  If the symbol you 
want to edit is on the page, select it with the mouse.  Your symbol will 
be automatically saved in the symbol library.


Figure 16 Graphic Menu with Mouse Index


9.3.	Using Custom Symbols

SchemaCAD gives you much power, you can design your own symbols 
and add it to  your schematics.  If you don't like a symbol in your 
drawings, you can change its representation with the DESIGN SYMB 
command and it will be updated in all your schematics and blocks.  If 
you combine the custom symbol capacity with the block features you will 
see a noticeable increase in your productivity.

It is very important that everybody who works on the same drawing, uses 
the same custom library.  If you don't, you will not be able to share your 
drawings.  The symbol library is part of the schematics you make, if you 
send your drawings to others, and you use custom symbols in drawings, 
you must also send your library:  "PIECE.001" and "PIECE.002".  If you 
don't, it will be impossible to regenerate the schematics.
  
As powerful as the software is, we recommend that you make a backup 
copy of your library before you make any changes on custom symbols.  
The names of the files you must backup up are "PIECE.001" and 
"PIECE.002".  

10.     Printing

Printing drawings is very important.  SchemaCAD gives you the 
opportunity to print drawings and documents that goes with them.  

The drawing documents are:

*	Parts List,
*	Purchase Order List.


10.1.	Choosing a Printer

SchemaCAD supports 74 kinds of printer or emulation.  You must set

10.2.	Printing a Drawing

To print a drawing:

1.	put what you want to print on the screen (with the zoom commands),
2.	select PRINT in the menu,
3.	at PART LIST enter N,
4.	move the print window on the section you want to print,
5.	accept the selection with a click of the mouse.

You can cancel the operation with the right mouse button.  You can also 
increase the size of the print window with + or decrease the size of it 
with -.

10.3.	Printing Documentation

To print the documentation of the schematic:

1.	select PRINT in the menu,
2.	fill the dialog box with information about the drawing 
	(at PART LIST enter Y).

10.4.	Adding Information to the Drawing

If you want to print a good documentation of your schematic, you will 
have to add information on the components you want to put on the 
documentation.  
To add information to a component:

1.	select EDIT SYMB in the menu,
2.	go onto the object you want to edit and click the mouse,
3.	enter information in the dialog box,
4.	go onto another object you want to edit or cancel with the mouse.

You must also add information to the file "PART.DAT".  This file is an 
ASCII file and you can edit it and add information to it.  The data you will 
find in "PART.DAT" are:

1.	manufacturer,
2.	part number,
3.	description,
4.	cost of the component,
5.	the sell price of the component.

The manufacturer can have up to eight characters and the part number 
can have up to twenty characters.  There are no restrictions on the 
other fields.  All the fields must be separated by a comma ",".

11.     DXF support

11.1	Importing DXF Files

If you want to import a symbol or a drawing you made with AutoCAD, or 
any other CAD, you must save it with the DXF function of  the CAD.  You 
must use the LOAD DXF command and select the name of the file in 
the file selector.  The DXF import routine only read 3 kinds of entities 
from the DXF files.  

These entities are:
	*	lines,
	*	circles,
	*	arc.

It does not import BLOCKS or any other kind of entities.  You must be 
sure that you explode all blocks before the transfer, and that you use 
only the basic entities to do the drawing.  Look at the COLUMBIA.DXF 
to see the input routine works.

The maximum number of graphic elements that can be read is 800.  
After 800 the input stop.

11.2.	DXF Exporting

This command allows you to transfer the schematic you work on in a 
format other CAD can read.  The standard we use for the transfer is the 
Data Exchange Format or DXF.  To transfer the schematic you are 
working on:

1.	select SAVE DXF in the menu,
2.	enter the name of the file in the dialog box. 

The extension ".DXF" is automatically appended to the name of the file.  
Colors and line types used in the schema are transferred.
