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.

Global size...
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.

Type of line : opaque
Renders a line invisible. Useful for hiding line traces without cutting them or interrupting them. Attention, equally invisible when the line is activated, only its description in the direct info zone (described in chapter 1.5) confirms that an invisible line was activated. Another possible way to find these invisible lines is with the " Vision " function , element points which become visible and that can be activated ex:A thick line can be modified into an invisible line to interrupt a form or another line

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.

Stretch reference points Stretch anchor point Stretch dimension
Stretch reference points with the lasso Stretch an altitude dimension
Example : stretch with the lasso along X de 2

Reference point=active point
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
2.8 d) Dimension : move "vertical altitude"
move "5" move "5"
1. Move a dimension without changing the value:
2. Move a dimension wth the value adapting:

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

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.

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

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

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.

This also works for texts.
Allows you to combine move, rotation, symmetry, all dynamically on the screen. If we have to glide an
object, we can directly access the "glide" mode by activating the object with the (M) mouse button.
Along active segment
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
distance

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.

3.10 Modify
Allows you to modify the attributes and values of the active elements.
Refer to the chapters on basic elements:
Groups
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
3.11 Cut/ solder
Allows you to cut, seperate or solder active elements.
Refer to the chapters on basic elements :
3.12 Auxiliary lines
The auxiliary lines are infinite. They can be saved with the drawing, activated if the mode is
launched and made ............ equally by a mode found in the settings menu. More info
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.

Choice of printer
Choice between the Windows ou HPGL drivers (recommanded : windows !)
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
Color of its own palette (*.col) in user settings (See page 53)

- The width of a column is adjustable by clicking, and while holding the (L) left mouse button, move
the mouse .
- The display of columns can be personalized by right clicking (R) on the title of the columns.
- The size of the layers window can be stretched by clicking on one of its corners.
- Many layers can be activated by holding the Maj key down at the same time as the left mouse button
(L). Individual layers can be added to a previous selection with the Ctrl option combined with the left
mouse button (L).
- The names and numbers of the layers can be modified after having been activated by left-clicking (L)
once on the active field. The fields, n° and names adding up to 256 characters.
- 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.

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.

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.

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).
