1.2 The mouse

A three button mouse is recommended by cadwork for optimal utilization of the program and its manuals..

In the work mode "snap pt" (see chapter 4.11), a mouse with two buttons is also possible.

Mouse in the menusIn the right, left and top menus, we can choose a menu function.

The mouse in the graphic window

In the graphic window, the cursor takes the form of a crosshair

Signification of the mouse buttons:

see chapter 1.3 Activate and chapter 1.4 Definition of a free point and an

existing point

The mouse allows you to control the cursor on the screen. It has 3 buttons, which will be named in the

manual as (L), (M) and (R); (L) for left, (M) for middle and (R) for right. The actual definition of the 3

buttons is explained in the comment line. In the beginning, the comment line indicates (L) to "Activate".

Example of a menu: menu (D) almost always brings you back to the last button (generally, the function "Return or Enter")

Terminology

Clicking precision

From the position of the cursor, cadwork will search for the point (or points) contained in the radius of approximately 1 mm from the position of the active point and the point clicked

Radius 1 mm

Cursor Active point

The first point on which we clicked becomes the active point. The active point serves as the reference point for these functions: "Move", "Copy" etc. "to a point".

Active point

Active segment

Mouse buttons

Deactivate

Activate lasso

The line segment on which we clicked becomes the active segment. The closest point is also active. The active segment serves as the reference for the functions "Stretch", "Move", "Copy", "Glide" parellel to a segment.

(L) :- Activate an element when no other ones are active. We can activate by clicking either on a point or on a line which belongs to it.- If we double click on the same point, the program activates the next element passing by this same point.- If we click on an empty space (black zone), all the elements deactivate themselves.(M) :- Deactivate an active element (activate -)(R) :- Activate supplimentary elements when an element is already active (activate +)

When we activate an element, it becomes pink and the active point is emphasized.

We deactivate all the elements by clicking on an empty space in the window(where there are no elements).

When we hold (L)down, a frame corresponding to the movement of the mouse is drawn. We will call this rectangle "Lasso". With this "Lasso", we can activate all the elements entirely held inside the rectangle.

1.7 Layer

With cadwork, we can draw many superimposed "levels". These levels handled individually are called layers.

The use of many layers can be compared to the calking process where many sheets are superimposed. Each layer can have its own scale and then allows for a logical seperation of the elements to be drawn: house, partitions, ventilation, details. In this manner, it is always possible to draw with the real dimensions of the pieces, each layer with its own appropriate scale allows you to link it all to the printing paper format chosen.

The use of the commands is defined in chapter 4.1

Plan view 1:50

Cut A-A 1:10

Frame 1:1

Plan view 1:50 Cut A-A 1:10

The plan shown here is decomposed into 3 layers:

- Layer 1 : Plan view, scale 1:50- Layer 2 : Cut, scale 1:10- Layer 20 : Title bloc and frame, scale 1:1

1.6 Mathematical equationsIt is possible to represent the mathematical equations as values. The result of the mathematical equation will then be taken into acount.

5*2-0.5 = 9.52*(4.5+6) = 21(2.5+6+2.5)/2 = 5.5

When opening up the cadwork program, a dotted gray line appears on the screen: the plotter frame. This

plotter frame surrounds the part of the drawing that will be printed.

The plotter frame can be activated, and then modified or moved just like another element and in the

following manner:Or activate with (L).

Advantage: Element

Factor

With a factor of 50%, the printing size is reduced by 50% without the scale being modified. This factor only affects the printing, the drawing remains the same. When printing with a factor, you are told that the plotter frame is different than 1! Do you really want to create the plotter file? Y/N".

With this function, the plotter frame is rotated by 90° in the trigonomic sense (A4 vertical becomes A4 horizontal). The insertion point is situated on the bottom right side and the number on the top right side. The plotter frame is not moved in the drawing. (this function is also possible via the plotter orientation)

2.1 Plotter frame, (cont'd...)

We can simultaneously use a plotter and a laser printer because there is a conjoined laser frame to the

plotter frame. We can freely add a number of laser frames or plotter frames. The laser frames and plotter

frames are numbered and can be printed individually or in groups. They belong to a layer. We can move a

laser frame into another layer.

Modify the real size with a factor (p. ex. to bring to scale) "along X and Y" doesn't distort the object, however "along x" or "along Y" allows you to shrink or enlarge the objects (p. ex. circle to ellipse)

Colour

256 basic colors are proposed. We can activate elements based on their color ("Activate attribute") or make invisible certain colours ("Vision"). The colors on screen can be configured to correspond to a printing color generally used on white paper although the black background on screen is often prefered for working on a computer. Similarly, it is possible to configure the thickness of an auxiliary line based on the color on screen. 12 basic colors make up the main palette. The complete palette is found in a 2D drawing format in..\cadwork.dir\exe\2d\palette_cw.2d and can thus be printed out using the appropriate printer.

Create a round line with a given radius. If we do not

have a radius value, the program uses the biggest

value possible. Once the first angle is rounded, we

can designate the other angles with the middle

mouse button (M) to keep the same radius, with the

(L) mouse click, to round with another radius.

Chamfer

As soon as the first angle is made, we can designate

the other angles with the (M) mouse button to keep

the same value or, with the (L) mouse button, to

chamfer with another value .

After having indicated a closed contour, everything

that is included & activated in this contour is erased.

Avec adaptation automatique de la cote

There exists 2 ways to move a vertical altitude dimension 1.: The value must not be modified 2.: The value must be modified.

The dimension must be active with the corresponding element so the value remains the same.

Many activated altitudes, the value remains invariable

Only a dimension must be active (no other elements can be active) so the value can adapt itself

When many altitudes are activated, the shorcut keys " 5 " and " Z " allows you to modify the value

DXF/DWG File File name: xxxxxx.dxf / xxxxxx.dwg

The DXF files (Drawing Interchange Format) allow an exchange of data between different CAD programs.

They notably contain characteristics of each element (points, surfaces, lines, texts...). When a DXF file is

loaded, we can also choose the quality of data exchange. The same element is rarely described in the

same way in a A system as in a B system. Cadwork tries to keep up-to-date with the Autodesk standards

(AutoCAD), in order to ensure compatibility with AutoCAD and many other CAD programs.

It is recommended to not add a DXF file from a cadwork 2D drawing in use, all the existing data in a 2D

file is erased before adding the DXF file. By a right click (R) on the DXF file, it can be opened directly in the

cadwork 2D program. A double click on (L) opens the previous DXF file in the DXF/DWG viewer and allows

1) to verify the quality of the file and 2) to choose the parts to be loaded into a cadwork 2D file. For more

info, see chapter 5.4

After having loaded the file, it is recommended to verify if the values correspond to reality (measure ->

distance 2 pts) . We can equally verify if the coordinates are correct ("measure" -> "glob. coordinates of

point"). The file is always loaded into a 1:1 scale.

If there exists an init.2d file in the actual folder, it's settings (crayon, printing) will be automatically loaded

upon opening the DXF file. If this isn't the case, it will be the settings in the init.2d file of the folder

…\cadwork.cat\2d\init\

The table here-below illustrates the ratio between Cadwork and AutoCAD. The following factors should be

used :

Many CAD systems (for ex. AutoCAD) do not know the scales and work with Units. The value of the unit

(multiplication ratio) must then be defined by the user every time a DXF/DWG file is read.

When loading the DXF/DWG file, it is possible to have the layers correspond directly. For each DXF layer, there is a corresponding cadwork layer.

Loading of *.las file(destination layer)

Make the layers correspond by indicating the number of the layer.

No of "assignable" layer

Conversion When reading DXF files, the choice of the "layer conversion" function allows you to make corresponding layers.

Loading of existing conversion files.(Fichiers *.leg)

Save the preferences as .leq. files

Save as *.lsa file

ProcedurePrepare a 2D file with its own structure of layers. This structure can be saved as an *.lsa file by preference. This file is saved in ..\cadwork.cat \USERPROFIL\2d\Layer\*.lsa and can be loaded every time a DXF/DWG file is read. The information concerning the layers (name, color, line type) are defined and will automatically be taken into account.

object, we can directly access the "glide" mode by activating the object with the (M) mouse button.


Places the object at an <E>

distance from another object.

- Activate the object by a

segment.

- Glide the object near the

point and press <E>

- Give the E distance and the

object fixes itself at that

When we activate a point on the wheel, only the selected radius is activated.

With "Modify" "Group" we can attribute a group name to a selection, which could be activated with

"activate attributes" "groups...". We can equally attribute a group name to an individual element.

The "Join selection" button is displayed in red. If middle click again on the same button, the " joined selection" mode is activated again.

2. Double click on an element of the selectionBy double clicking on an element of the selection (for ex: line or text), this element can be modified without having to seperate the previous selection.

The modification possibilitles depend on the nature of the continued elements in the group. If the

elements are all the same type (for example: only lines), all the modification possibilities

unique to these elements are available.

On the other hand, is many elements types are present in the group, only the general modification

possibilities are proposed (global size, color, thickness, group name, on top, behind).

Name the groups

in the section on basic elements chapter 2.3, auxiliary lines.

It is possible to give a name to a group in order to be able to activate it with "Activate attribute"

"Groups...". We can give the same name to many groups which could then be activated together.

With this goal in mind, we can also group a single element and give it a name.

3.14 Printing

Printing

We make the distinction between a plotter frame (for bigger printers) and a

laser frame (normal formats A4/A3). We can then procede to the settings for

these 2 types. The print preview is based on these settings and serves as a

fast preview. Existing plotter or laser frames can be renumbered (when

adding a new page for example). The plotter or laser frames can equally be

created in a free format and be individually adapted to the printer and

printing zone.

Configuration of line color and thickness

1. Screen color = plotter/printer colorCorresponds to WYSIWYG: What You see is what You get. The visible colors and

thickness ("real thickness" mode) on screen are printed exactly as they are shown

2. Thickness by color

For each color on screen, we can attribute a printing color and thickness. Example: Screen color = yellow (7)

Printing color = black (8)

Printing thickness = 0.35 (in reference to the Rotring)

3. Grey level

Converts to a nuance of grey (Value under "grey plotter" in percentage)

Print black / white

- The scales can be directly modified in the window (just like names and numbers.)

- The layers can be sorted based on their names or numbers by clicking on the title of the column. A

second click reverses the order of the assortment (ascending, descending).

- The text in the titles of the columns (names, numbering) can be copied/pasted elsewhere with the

usual copy/paste functionalities (Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V)

- The combination of the keys Ctrl-A activate all the layers of the window.

- In the group/read only column, it is possible to define groups of layers (together). This allows you to

manipulate many layers more easily. To see all the layers of a group, the group/ L-S detail option must be

checked.

4.1 Layer (cont'd...)

Join layer"solder" layers together. The name and the definition of the first layer are applied to the new layer.

Activate layer Delete layers

In the layer configuration, choose the layer desired and click on "activate". It is equally possible to change the layer by clicking in the drawing with the left mouse button on an element's point found in the desired layer. Condition: the option "change layer click" must be checked. This option or mode can also be launched by a middle mouse click (M) on the layer button. A double click on the layer of choice in the layer window activates the desired layer and closes the window.

Delete the layer(s) chosen as well as all its drawing content.

Renumber the layers neatly. The "holes" are eliminated. The first number is requested and can from then on be different than 0.

Compact

Filter

The filter menu allows you to search for layers

based on the name. Establish the first characters of

the name searched for and the list of layers is

reduced to the layers with the name starting with

the characters that were typed in. The star * (a

very practical general search option used in

computers) is used. Example: "Ech" finds all the

layers with the name starting with these 3 letters. "

*le" dins all the layers with the name ending with

"le" regardless of the characters and the number of

characters placed in the beginning.

Number for the top layer.

Possibility to attribute a level to the layer

move into another layer operation. Directly in the layers window, it is possible to procede with all the

operations that were done in the scale menu.

red, the small window is activated (or the big window). We can activate one

of the two windows by activating one of its elements (just like for layers).

"Zoom all" window

When the main window is activated ("window" in white), we can use the small window to define the

zoom: click on "Z+" and indicate the zone to zoom in the small window. The zone chosen will appear in

the big window.

By holding the left mouse click (L) down, we can stretch this window

When we activate the (G) mode, a small symbol appears based on the area of an element where the cursor passes. This symbol shows which point has been "snapped" by the system. In this mode, the left mouse button (L) works like the middle mouse button (M) and thus snaps a free point along the cursor position.

Capture a value in "Polar 90°" mode

As soon as a horizontal or vertical auxiliary

line appears on the screen, we can enter a

value. A segment is drawn in the direction of

the auxiliary line (either horizontal or

vertical).

With this option a point can be directly stretched or moved without having to use a function.

The move function (pan) is activated with the middle button (M).

With the middle button (M) the text menu becomes red and the following message is displayed: Attention! In text mode, "activate lasso" only takes texts! Only in this mode can texts (not paragraph texts) can be activated.

drawing, the graphic modes will already be set. The graphic mode

settings can be recalled by the command found in the preferences
