GGU-CAD: Preface

The GGU-CAD program is a CAD program, which was originally intended merely for post-editing work on graphics produced by the GGU program range. As a result of the encouragement of program users, however, an almost complete CAD program has developed over the years, which leaves almost nothing to be desired in the "foundation engineering" field. Further suggestions and criticism are requested and will be taken into consideration for new program versions, where practical.

The program includes convenient data input. The system is permanently displayed on the screen. Every change to the data is displayed on the screen, so that optimum control of the input data is guaranteed.

There are "?" and "Info"’ buttons in the dialog boxes for many technical and program-specific questions. Click on the "?" buttons or "Info" buttons to obtain the necessary information.

The graphic output supports the true type fonts provided by WINDOWS, so that an excellent layout is guaranteed. Colour output and numerous graphic formats (BMP, TIF, JPG etc.) are supported. PDF and DXF files can also be imported via the integrated Mini-CAD system (see "Mini-CAD" manual).

The program has been extensively tested. No errors have been found. Nevertheless, liability for completeness and correctness of the program and the manual, and for any damage resulting from incompleteness or incorrectness, cannot be accepted.
