One option is to align objects among themselves. Mark the items with handles, then select this command. If you select Left alignment, for example, they will align at the left-most point. Another option is to align objects to a margin line that you set. Select the command. Then press L on an item, and a crosshair will appear. Drag L to where you want the item to align and release. If you want to align a group of items this way, first drag R to box the group. Then drag L, starting from inside the group. Or, drag R, starting from any- where in the window. To "unmark" a group of items you marked for alignment, just click L on a blank part of the screen outside the group. Align to Grid: Aligns one or more items to the closest dot on the grid, according the the crit- eria you select with the Set Alignment command. Mark items with handles. (See Handles Edit in the Edit menu) Then select this command. The marked items will align to the closest grid dot. Or, select the command first. Click L to align one item; drag R to box item(s). Items will align to the closest grid dot. Create Symbol: Creates a symbol out of one or more items. Select the command, then drag L or R to select the items to be symboled. Or, you can select the Handles Edit com- mand. Click L on one item, or box a group of items with R. Handles appear. Then select this command. The marked items are grouped into a symbol. If the new symbol to be created is it- self a symbol, with no additional items added, a warning message will appear. Click on Cancel to avoid unnecessary levels of symbols. Please note: If you do not see the items to be symboled redraw, they have not been grouped into a symbol. Repeat the procedure until you see the correct items redraw.Unpack Symbol: Removes the Symbol classification, but maintains the status of each item in the Symbol at the time it is unpacked. Select the command. Then click L on a symbol, or drag R to box the symbols to be unpacked. The symbols redraw as they are unpacked. Or, select the Handles Edit command. Click L on one symbol, or box a group of symbols with R. Handles appear. Then select this command. The symbols redraw as they are unpacked. Please note: If you unpack a symbol that contains items such as rectangles and rounded rectangles, the shape and orien- tation of those items will change if they are rotated other than a multiple of 90 degrees. Text will return to its original orientation before the symbol creation. Please note: The text in this help screen is CORRECT. The explanation defined in the USER'S MANUAL is slightly incorrect, and may not work. e.g., In this command you select symbols NOT items. You group a group of symbols by using R only. Trying to group symbols with L will not work.Pan: Scrolls a drawing in any direction with- in the current window. Select this command by clicking L on the menu item. Then position the cursor on the part of the drawing you want to pan. Drag L to the desired location and release. Put to Front: Selects item(s) from a group of "stacked" items to be displayed on the top of the stack. Mark items (as in Align Objects), and then select this command. Or, select the command and then click L on a single item that you want on top; drag R to define more than one. You can accentuate the stacking order by going to the Palette menu and varying the colors or patterns of the items. Send to back: Selects item(s) from a group of "stacked" items to be displayed at the bottom of the stacking order. Mark items (as in Align Objects), and then select this command. Or, select the command and then click L on a single item that you want on the bottom; drag R to box more than one. You can accentuate the stacking order by going to the Palette menu and varying the colors or patterns of the items. Redraw: Cleans away "garbage" on the screen and displays a clean drawing. Select this command and the valid port- ions of the drawing sheet will redraw. Show Actual Size: Displays a drawing on the screen at its actual printed output size. Select this command by clicking L on the menu item. The screen view automatically adjusts to actual size. Set Zoom Scale. . . Changes the scale of zooming in which the drawing is displayed. A dialog box displays, in which the you set your desired zoom scale. A factor less than 1 makes the drawing look smaller. A factor of 1 shows actual size, that is, the size of the printed version, and a factor greater than 1 makes the drawing look bigger. After you set the scale, click L on OK. Zoom: Zooms in and out of a portion of a draw- ing. First select the Zoom command. Put the cursor on the area you want to zoom on. To zoom out, that is, make that area look smaller, click L. To zoom in, that is, make that area look bigger, click M. Or, drag R to def- ine an area to be zoomed. The area you define will zoom to full window size. Set Background Color: This option changes the background color of your monitor. It is useful for color monitors. A dialog box indicates the current background color and displays 8 colors you can choose from. Click L on your choice. After that, the background will remain that color until you change it again. Rotate: Rotates a symbol incrementally. Define a Symbol, using the Create Symbol command in the Symbols menu. Then select the Rotate command. Click L on the sym- bol, or drag R across an area that has symbol(s) to be rotated. Repeat clicking L or dragging R on symbols to continue rotation. Or, mark the symbol(s) with handles. See the Handles Edit command. Then select this command, and the symbol(s) will rotate once. If you want to alter the degree or direction of rotation, use the Set Transform command in this menu. Text within a symbol CANNOT be rotated. Please Note: The text in this help screen is CORRECT. The text described in the USER'S MANUAL is slightly incorrect. Just remember... When you ROTATE, you rotate SYMBOLS rather than items.Scale: Expands or shrinks the symbol. This is not a viewing device--the dimen- sions of the symbol actually change. Click L on the Scale command to select it and then click L on the symbol or drag R on an area that has a symbol(s) to be scaled. Repeat clicking L or drag- ging R on the symbol(s) to continue scaling. Or, mark symbol(s) with handles.(See the Handles Edit command) Then select the Scale command, and the symbol will scale once. Use the Set Transform command in this menu to change the value of the scale. Please Note:Text within a symbol cannot be scaled. Just remember... You scale symbols NOT items.Strip Transform: Restores the items of a Symbol to their original size and position before the Symbol was created. Any duplicates of the symbol that you made are still symbols. They remain exactly as you left them. Select this command. Then click L on a symbol to be stripped, or drag R to box an area of symbols. Alternatively, mark symbol(s) with hand- les.(See Handles Edit command) Then select this command. Set Transform: Lets you change the values of Symbol manipulations. Selecting this command displays a dialog box containing the current values for the various transformations. Change numbers in the box to specify new scaling value, degree of rotation, or direction of rotation. Set Corner Radius... Changes the degree of rounding on the corners of rounded rectangles. Use this command with Round Corners in this menu or Rounded Rectangle in the Draw menu. When you select this command a dialog box appears in which you spec- ify the radius you want, in inches or centimeters. Just position the cursor in the box and enter the new value. Every subsequent rounded rectangle you make will have that corner radius until you change the setting again. Click L on OK to enter your choice. Click on Cancel to cancel any changes and return to your drawing. Round Corners: Changes a rectangle to a rounded rectangle. Mark the rectangle(s) with handles, then select this command. Those rectangles will have rounded corners. Or, select this command first. Then put the cursor on a rectangle and click L. If you want to round the corners on a group of rec- tangles, drag R to box the group. Then click L. Mirror-X: Replaces the Symbol with a mirror image of it along its X axis, that is, upside down. Select this command from the menu; then click L on the Symbol to be mirrored; or drag R to box the symbols to be mirror- ed. Repeat clicking L or dragging R on symbol(s) to continue mirroring. Please Note: Text within a Symbol cannot be mirrored; only its location will change. Mirror-Y: Replaces the Symbol with a mirror image of it along the Y axis, that is, left to right. Select this command from the menu; then click L on the Symbol to be mirrored; or drag R to box the symbol(s) to be mirrored. Repeat clicking L or dragging R on symbols to continue mirroring. Please Note: Text within a Symbol cannot be mirrored; only its location will change. Reduce to fit: Adjusts the screen view of a drawing to fit entirely in its window, without act- ually changing the drawing itself. (i.e, reduces a large drawing to fit in- to the window) If you invoke this command on a drawing that is smaller than its window, the drawing will expand to full-window size. Select this command from the menu. The screen view will automatically adjust. Undo Last: Undoes the command most recently execut- ed. Click L on this command. Your previous command is undone, and it dims on the menu. You must perform a different com- mand before you can invoke that one again. Redo: Re-activates the command that has just been undone. This command stays dimmed on the menu until Undo is invoked. Click L on this command to execute it. Handles Edit: Puts handles around item(s) so that you can move, copy or reshape them. Marking an item with handles is one method you can use to delete an item, or send it to the clipboard. For more information on handles, see page 63 of this manual. Select this command from the menu and then position the arrow on the item(s) you want to edit. Click L for one item; drag R to define more than one. Eight handles will surround the item(s). If you want to reshape an item, position the arrow on a handle. Press L, M or R, and drag to the desired shape. If you want to move or copy, posit- ion the arrow inside the item(s). Drag to the desired location, using L to move and M to copy. To delete, drag any button "backwards" from one diagonal of that boundary to the other. Cut: Removes selected items from a draw- ing and puts them in the clipboard. This command remains dimmed on the menu until you put handles on an item(s). Select the Handles Edit command on this menu, then click L on the item .. (Or click R on the item in the Draw menu.) Then go back to the menu and select the Cut command. You can delete items with Cut by simply not retreiving them from the clipboard. Copy: Copies selected items from a drawing onto the clipboard. The item remain in its original location as well. Select the Handles Edit command on this menu, then click L on the item. (Or click R on an item in the Draw menu.) Then go back to the menu and select the Copy command. You can invoke this command and set up a different format, if necessary, via the Clipboard Format command. Click L to mark a single item to be copied; drag R to mark more than one item. This method is inportant when you only wnt to copy a portion of an item in a bitmap form. Paste: Copies items from the Clipboard in- to a new file or a new location in the same file. This command is available only when the Clipboard contains data. You must move the entire contents of the clipboard together. Position the pointer where you want to paste the Clipboard contents. Click L. Then go to the Edit menu and click L on the Paste command. This command is dimmed when the Clipboard is empty. COPY: Copies selected items from a draw- ing onto the clipbboard. The items remain in their original position as well. Use the Paste commmand to put the copy somewhere else. To copy an item on the screen, you must first select the object. Mark handles on the item(s) with Handles Edit command on this menu. (Or click R on an item while you are in the Draw menu) Then select the Copy command. Clear Items: Removes selected items from a draw- ing, but leaves the Clipboard un- changed. This command allows you to clean up a drawing while keeping the data that your clipboard holds. Mark the selected items with hand- les, either by invoking the Handles Edit command in this menu or using R in the Draw menu commands. Then click L on the Clear Items command. Modify Items: Changes the shape or position of items that are already in a drawing. The behavior of this command varies, depending on the item being edited. See pages xx - xx of the Instinct manual for descriptions of how specific commands work. Select this command on the menu. Press L on the item(s) you want to modify, then drag to start modification.. If you have overlapping or close together items, you'll need to define the edit area. Draw a rectangle with R that isolates that area. Line: Moves one endpoint while pivoting on the other, like a rubber band. Position the cursor on the endpoint you want to move. Press R and drag that endpoint to the new location. The other endpoint will not move. Rectangle: Expands or shrinks a rectangle. Put the pointer on a corner of the rectangle. Drag L in the direction that you want to adjust its shape or size. Rounded rectangle: Works like rectangle. Circle: Changes the radius of a circle. Also changes a circle to an arc, and changes the angle of an arc. To change the radius, position the arrow on the circle, and drag in or out with L. To make an arc, position the cursor on the part of the circle where you want the arc to begin. Press L and M together. Drag to where you want the arc to end. If you have gone too far, erase by going backwards. To change the angle of an arc, position the cursor on an endpoint. Press L and M and drag in either direction. If you want to "spin" the arc to another part of the circle, move the cursor to the desired location of one endpoint. Then click either L or R. Dot: Works like Circle. Pie: Works like Circle. Ellipse: Expands and shrinks the ellipse along horizontal and vertical axes from its center. Position the cursor anywhere on the elipse. Drag L to adjust its shape or size. Spline: Changes the control points of the spline. Select this command, then click L on a Spline. The control points will be highlighted. Use L to select a control point and drag it to the new location. Then click R anywhere on the drawing sheet to re-draw the spline. It will also re-draw if you invoke another command. Polygon: Changes the vertices. Select this command, then click L on a Ploygon. The control points will be highlighted. Use L to select a vertex and drag it to the new location. Then click R anywhere on the drawing sheet to re-draw the polygon. It will also re-draw if you invoke another command. Chained Line: Changes the control points of the line. Select this command, then click L on a chained line. The control points will behighlighted. Use L to select a control point and drag it to the new location. Then click R anywhere on the drawing sheet to re-draw the chained line It will also re-draw if you invoke another command. Sketch: Changes the control points of the sketch. Select this command, then click L on a sketch. A series of control points will display. Use L to select a control point and drag it to a new location. Then click R anywhere on the drawing sheet to re-draw the sketch. It will also re-draw if you invoke another command. Clear All: Clears/Deletes everything in a drawing.This command is useful if you have gotten into a big mess and you want to start over again. Select this command on the menu, and the drawing is automatically erased. The drawing is not actually removed from memory. You can retrieve it with the Recover Clear command in the Undo menu. Recover Clear: Brings back all the items that were del- eted by the previous Clear Items or Clear All command. Repeating this command brings back items that were previously deleted, in reverse order of deletion. Select this command on the menu, and the deleted item(s) automatically return. Arrow: Creates arrow heads. Select this command. Then click L on the drawing sheet where you want arrows to appear. To adjust the orientation of an arrow you just drew, keep holding down L. Drag and rotate to the des- ired angle. To move the arrow while you are creating it, drag R and L together and drag into position. If you want to alter the size or style of your arrows, go to the Palette menu and select Arrow. You will get a dialog box in which you can select options. Move items: Freely moves item(s) to any location in a drawing. Press L to select one item to move; drag to the new location and release.Drag R to group 2 or more items. Then position the cursor inside the item(s) and drag to the new location with either L or R.Line: Draws straight lines. Position the cursor where one end- point is to appear; drag L to the other endpoint and release. To alter the line thickness, line style or color, go to the Palette menu. Select the attribute you want to change and a palette box will appear. Then select the options you want. If you want to draw a line that is perfectly vertical, horizontal, or diagonal press the Shift key and hold it while you draw the line. An endpoint of a line may be attracted by, and consequently move to, the endpoint of a nearby line if it is close enough. See Gravity, page 78 of the Instinct manual for an explanation. If you don't want gravity to take effect, draw the line with M. Rectangle: Draws a rectangle or a square. Select the command with L. Position the cursor on the screen where you want a corner to be. Drag with L to the point where the opposite corner should be and release. To draw a square, hold down the Shift key while you drag with L. Circle: Draws a circle or an arc. To draw a circle, select the Circle command, and position the cursor where you want the center to be. Drag L the length of the radius and release. To draw an arc, do not release L when you finish the circle. Move the cursor along the circumference to where you want the arc to begin. Press M along with L, and drag counterclockwise. Release both buttons when you reach the end of the arc. Pie: Creates a pie with as many slices as you want. First, define the pie's radius by dragging L out from the center. Next, define the first pie slice: Position L where an endpoint of the slice should be and drag counter- clockwise. Release at the other end point. Then define the other slices: Mov- ing counterclockwise from the end- point of the first slice, click or drag L to mark endpoints of succ- essive slices. Spline: Creates a curve defined by a series of control points. Click L to mark the control points. When you are finished, click R any- where on the window to draw the curve. Invoking another command will also draw the curve. Chained Line: Creates a jagged line that connects a series of control points. Click L to mark the points. Then click R anywhere on the window to connect them. Invoking another com- mand will also connect the points. If you mark only two points, you will get a straight line. Therefore, you must mark at least 3 control points to get a chained line. Polygon: Creates polygons, such as triangles and trapezoids. First, click L to mark the vertices of the polygon. You must mark at least 3 points. Then click R any- where on the window to connect them. Invoking another command will also complete the polygon. Continue moving in one direction when you mark your vertices. Other- wise, you will end up with a poly- gon with holes in it. Sketch: Makes a freeform drawing. Does not straighten lines or round arcs, as with the other Draw commands. Position the pointer where you want your drawing to start and drag with L until you finish. Rounded Rectangle: Creates a rectangle with rounded corners. Select this command from the menu with L. Position the pointer arrow on the screen where you want a corner. Drag with L to the point where the opposite corner should be, and release. If you want to change the radius of the rounded corners, go to the Options menu and select the Set Corners Radius command. See text for details. Pen...: Lets you add color to the line outline of items. Select this menu command and you will get a palette box that displays color choices. Click L on your choice. Items marked with handles will change to the color, and all subsequent items you draw will contain that color until you change it again. Please note: The Light Blue and Yellow colors do not print on non-color print- ers, due to some printer drivers. White lines cannot be plotted on a plotter.Text String: Inserts a string of text in a drawing. After selecting this command, click L where you want the text to start. A vertical text cursor will mark that spot. Then type from the key- board. Press Return to finish. To edit a text string while you are inserting text, you can either position the cursor with the mouse or use these keyboard commands: DIERECTION keys to move right or left HOME key - move to beginning of line END key - move to end of line BACKSPACE- delete previous char- acter ^A move to beginning of a line ^B move backward one character ^F to move forward on character ^E move to the end of the line ^D delete the next character ^H delete previous character ^C delete whole line ^K kill to end of line Text ON: Toggles the display of text strings on and off in a drawing. When you display a drawing smaller than its actual size, the text remains actual size. If the text is on, it will interfere with your view of the drawing. The Text ON menu means that text is off, and selecting that command will turn it on. Click L on the command to do so. If you display a drawing at a very reduced scale, the program will automatically turn text off. Click L on the command to turn it back on. If the zoom scale is smaller than one (1), the text is automatically turned off. If you wish to see it, select this command and the text will appear. Text OFF: Toggles the display of text strings on and off in a drawing. When you display a drawing smaller than its actual size, the text re- mains actual size. You may want to turn it off if it interferes in your view of the drawing. The Text OFF menu means that text is on, and selecting that command will turn it off. Click L on the command to do so. If you display a drawing at a very reduced scale, the program will automatically turn text off. Click L on the command to turn it back on. Automatic: When this command is selected, the user is essentially allowing the software to decide when to display the text and when not to display it. On automatic, if you display a draw- ing at a very reduced scale, the text automatically turns off. When the view is larger, text appears. (i.e, is turn- ed back on) Single Space/1 1/2 Space/ Double Space: Single spacing is the default value. Click L on the command to change it to 1 1/2 or double. Single Space/1 1/2 Space/ Double Space: Single spacing is the default value. Click L on the command to change it to 1 1/2 or double. Single Space/1 1/2 Space/ Double Space: Single spacing is the default value. Click L on the command to change it to 1 1/2 or double. Set Rulers/Grids. . . Sets the various parameters of your working environment. Selecting this command displays a dialog box in which you can set these drawing sheet features: Units: Sets the unit of measurement for the rulers and grids. Your choices range from millimeters to miles. Click L on your choice. Marks/Units: Sets the number of Ruler marks for each unit you specify. Type in the number of marks per unit you want. Mouse Grid: Sets the smallest unit you can move with the mouse. For example, if you set the mouse grid at 1 centimeter, your lines will auto- matically go to the closest one-centi meter point. You must have the Mouse Grid ON (it will read Mouse Grid OFF) in order for this command to take effect. Type a number to change the Mouse Grid. Display Grid: Sets the frequency of grid dots on the screen. The higher the number the farther the dots are. Type a number. That number will reflect the unit in the Units portion of the box. Gravity: Makes the lines in a drawing converge in neat corners. Gravity is the pull that two nearby endpoints exert on each other. The gravity value you set is the distance apart that endpoints can be and still snap together. The higher the gravity value, the farther away the end- points can be. A ZERO gravity value turns this option off. When all settings are to your satisfact- ion, enter them by clicking L on OK.Ruler ON: Puts rulers along the top and left edges of the screen. Selecting this command toggles the display of the ruler on or off. To change the unit of measurement on the rulers, select Set Rulers/Grids on this menu. Enter a number in the Units port- ion of the dialog box. To change the frequency of numbers on the Ruler, enter a number in the Marks/Units portion. Click L on the OK in the dialog box to activate your changes. Display Grid ON: The Display Grid is a grid of dots that makes the alignment of objects easy. This command toggles the display grid on and off in the current window. To change the frequency of grid dots, go to the Set Rulers/Grids. Enter the fre- quency value in the Display Grid portion. Crosshair ON: Toggles a crosshair on and off in the current window. Selecting this command on the the menu switches between on and off. Page Break ON: Toggles the dotted-line page break mark- ing on and off. Selecting this command on the menu switches between on and off. Vertex Snap ON / OFF: Toggles the "snapping" together of the endpoints of two lines on and off. Sel- ecting this command on the menu switches between on and off. To identify how close the lines have to be in order to snap, set Gravity in the Set Rulers/Grids dialog box of this menu. Line...: Changes the style of line that defines an item. Select this command and you will get a palette box that displays various styles of solid, dotted, and dashed lines. Items marked with handles will change to the line style, and all subsequent items you draw will reflect the line style you set, until you change it again. Set Alignment...: Sets the place of alignment. A dialog box offers alignment choices. You can choose one of these: X/Y-center aligns around the center of marked items, or at the cursor position. Other choices are left, center,or right, or top, middle,or bottom. Click L on your choice. Use with the Align Objects and Align to Grid commands. Edit - Clipboard Format...
