Mini-CAD: Activating the Mini-CAD systems

After selecting the "Mini-CAD" or "Header CAD" menu item in your GGU application a so-called pop-up window with icons appears in the lower right program window; the CAD functions can be activated from here.

The same dialog box opens for both menu items; all subsequent descriptions apply to both CAD systems. You can see which CAD system is currently activated by referring to the blue title bar in the pop-up window. You can supplement the current drawing with freely positioned

• lines,

• rectangles,

• circles,

• texts,

• tables,

• diagrams,

• graphics (file formats e.g. PDF, JPG, BMP, PSP, TIF) and

• DXF files.

The pop-up window is moveable, just as any other window, and can be closed using the "x" button. Alternatively, the Mini-CAD system can be deactivated by selecting the "Mini-CAD" or "Header CAD" menu item a second time.

All preferences and operations described below are only active within the current CAD system. Settings required for both CAD systems must therefore be specified and saved in both CAD systems.
