We want to create a folder for our Part Library and also Templates.For templates, type the followingĬ is the drive, \ User defines this \templates Notice we can define folders for things like fonts, hatches, part library, templates. Make sure however that the Crosshairs is selected This turns the big Red Crosshairs in the work area on and off.Also make sure that Automatically scale grid is selected as well.Now click the tab Paths. At this point we are going to use the defaults the program has set up for us. Notice you can change quite a bit under appearances. Let's take a look at the Program settings first.įirst, click on edit at the top of the page. You can also change the settings of the program and drawings too. This is where you will do all of your drawing, dimensioning, etc. We will also use these in later lessons.The last area we want to look at is the Drawing area or the Workbench as it is sometimes called. We will use this in a later lesson to get you familiar with the command line.On the right side you will notice areas for creating Layers and Blocks. You can actually draw using commands that you type in this area. Notice the bottom of the screen and you will see the command line. Move your cursor over these Icons also and you will note information on these as well.The top 7 are drawing Icons, The next 2 draw text and dimensions, The next Icon on the left draws cross hatch and the one next to it is snapshot which is non-functional in this version, The last 4 open different menus and functions. You will also notice Icons on the left side. Put your cursor over each Icon without clicking and the program will show you what the Icon does. Dont select anything from the menus as of yet, we will examine some of the selections in as we work through the manual.Notice Icons below the words. Go ahead now and click on each word to see the menus. Notice across the top there are words that you click on for pull down menus. Go ahead and start up LibreCad and take a look at what you see on the screen.
