Update

PC-Draft-CAD is  a  object  oriented  Computer Aided Drafting
(CAD) utility, which is designed to facilitate a  variety  of
drawing  and drafting needs.  In contrast to PC-Draft II (our
bitmap (pixel) based "painting" program), PC- Draft-CAD is  a
full  fledged  "draw"  program.   It stores your drawing as a
database of basic drawing elements such as points and lines.

You can produce scale drawings up to any  size  supported  by
your printer or plotter

Built-in functions  allow  you to draw circles, lines, boxes,
arcs, curves, ellipses.

Automatic dimensions show distance  in  feet  and  inches  or
metric or decimal units.

PC-Draft is  both  menu  driven  and  command  driven  -- all
drawing com- mands may be selected from the menus or  may  be
entered  by  a single keystroke command such as [C] to draw a
circle or [L] for line.

You can record graphic keyboard macros for later playback.

You add text to your drawing with a variety of fonts.

You can print your drawings on  a  variety  of  printers  and
plotters  including  those  compatible with IBM and Epson dot
matrix, HP Laser- Jet+, HP DeskJet printers and plotters that
support the HPGL plotter language.  Also  you  can  save  the
output to the printer in a file for later batch printing.

You can  export  your  drawings  in  GEM and WPG file format.
These can then  be  directly  imported  into  such  Desk  Top
Publishing programs as Ventura Publisher and WordPerfect 5.0.

Drawing grids  are  displayable  at any spacing with optional
"grid-lock"

A pop-up status panel shows x and y cursor position, as  well
as its relative position in feet and inches.

Drawings are  stored  as  a  database  composed  of  multiple
layers.  Each layer contains multiple objects.   Each  object
is  composed  of  multiple  basic  drawing  elements  such as
circles and lines.

You have full access to the drawing database to make  changes
to the values stored there.

Support for   VGA   (640x480),  EGA  (640x350)  &  super  VGA
(800x600) 16 color modes AND support for Hercules (720x350).

Colors are used to indicate the current element, object,  and
layer.

Virtual memory:  drawing size can be larger than conventional
memory would  allow,  up  to  a  theoretical  maximum  of  32
megabytes.  The new virtual memory code uses your Extended or
Expanded memory and/or pages to disk if necessary.

Improved Font file structure results in 90% memory savings.

Text elements can now be rotated at any angle, independent of
the rotation of the current object.

New options  allow  you  to  skip  Text  and/or Fill patterns
during screen regeneration.

Improved interface between the printer drivers and  the  main
program  result  in  faster  printing  and  additional memory
savings.

Enhancements to the Double Line command make it easier to use
for architectural plans.

The previous drawing command can be repeated by pressing  the
right mouse button or the Enter key.

Deleted drawing elements can be restored with the new restore
command.
