ACCUDRAW / COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN SYSTEM (Apple only) CAT.# 158-D01-38
CADS is a complete computer-aided design system for the Apple. It includes an
extensive drawing system (CADDRAW), the most powerful and complete utility
for creating new symbols (CADDRAW SYMBOL MAKER/EDITOR), and a powerful
high-resolution printer dump (by Beagle Bros.).
CADDRAW is currently used in thousands of drafting classrooms. It is simple
enough for 7th graders to learn, yet powerful enough to do real scale
drawings up to 12" by 16".
Drawing Features:
* Use keyboard, joystick, Koala Pad , Apple Mouse , Versawriter Graphics
Tablet, or Gibson Light Pen for the cursor-movement input device.
* Freehand sketching of lines or continuous plotting of symbols.
* On-screen menus, command summaries, and prompting.
* Vertical move. Automatic Y-coordinate placement of cursor in isometric or
cabinet mode. Makes pictorials easy in any scale.
* Scroll between the two drawing pages. Scroll up, down, left, or right.
* Snap: Input devices will snap to the nearest 1/8", 1/4", or any
increment.
* Scale printouts of your drawings on an 80-column (normal size) or larger
printer.
* Keyboard Takeover: Get close with your joystick, etc., and then use the
arrow keys to zero in on the point you want.
* Nine Scales: Full, 1 1/2"=1", Metric, 1/24"=1'-0", 1/8"=1'-0",1/4"=1'-0",
1/2"=1'-0", 1"=1'-0"
* Auto-center 2-D and 3-D drawings.
* Use all 8 high-resolution colors.
* On-screen measurement readouts as you move the cursor.
* Layer: View both pages while drawing on just page 1 .
* Grid: Place or erase a grid on the drawing page.
* Easy-to-remember commands.
* Mirror Full: Flip a drawing left-to-right.

* Full character set including lower case, even for the Apple II+.
Symbol features include:
* Capture any symbol or any part of a drawing from any Hi-Res drawing.
* Put up to 255 symbols in each table.
