\Zoom-All

 VIEW COMMAND: [Zoom All]
    TEXT EQUV: [ZALL]

	ZOOM ALL zooms to the largest area ever occupied by your drawing,
	including objects that have been deleted or moved. ZOOM ALL is often
	faster than ZOOM EXTENTS, because ZOOM ALL doesn't bother to check for
	deleted entities.

\Explode-Sym

 COPY COMMAND: [Explode Sym]
   TEXT EQUIV: [EXPSYM]

	EXPLODE SYM converts SYMBOL references into ordinary EasyCAD entities
	that you can edit.  Because a symbol reference is only an image of an
	original symbol definition, EXPLODE SYM may make your drawing
	considerably larger.  EXPLODE SYM also makes your drawing much faster
	to work with.  To modify a symbol and all references to it, EXPLODE
	one of the symbol references and modify it as desired.  Next use
	DELETE SYMDEF to get rid of the original symbol definition (all
	references to that name become invisible).  Finally, use DEFINE
	SYMBOL to define the exploded and modified symbol with the original
	name.  The symbol references (except the exploded one) reappear after
	a REDRAW.

	MORE-HELP?
*
\Replace-Sym

 COPY COMMAND: [Replace Sym]
   TEXT EQUIV: [REPSYM]

	REPLACE SYM renames selected symbol references so they refer to a
	different symbol definition. After you select the symbol references 
	to change, the prompt reads "New symbol name:".  Type the name of 
	an existing symbol definition, then press RETURN.  EasyCAD redraws 
	the symbols using the new definition.

*
\Define-Symbol

 COPY COMMAND: [Define Symbol]
   TEXT EQUIV: [DEFSYM]

	A SYMBOL is a named collection of entities that make a complex object.
	Each SYMBOL acts like a single entity. EasyCAD asks you to name the
	symbol definition (up to 12 characters), select its origin (0,0) point,
	then select the entities to be included in the definition. EasyCAD
	moves the selected entities to the drawing's invisible symbol area.
	UNDO brings back the entities that went into the symbol but does NOT
	un-define the symbol. Symbol definitions are part of the current 
	drawing only.

*
\Delete-SymDef

 COPY COMMAND: [Delete SymDef]
   TEXT EQUIV: [DELSYM]

	DELETE SYMDEF deletes a SYMBOL definition.  If the current drawing has
	references to the deleted definition, the references disappear from the
	screen, however, they are still in the drawing.  If you make a new
	SYMBOL definition with the same name, these references reappear the
	next time you REDRAW the screen.  This lets you update SYMBOLS
	throughout your drawing.

*
\List-SymDef

 COPY COMMAND: [List SymDef]
   TEXT EQUIV: [LSTSYM]

	LIST SYMDEF provides information about SYMBOL definitions available in
	the current drawing.  The prompt reads "Definition to list [all]*:".
	Press the right button to see a list of names of all the SYMBOL
	definitions in the drawing.  Type a SYMBOL name and press RETURN to see
	detailed information on one SYMBOL.  Type "*" to see detailed 
	information on all available SYMBOL definitions.

\Draw-Symbol

 COPY COMMAND: [Draw Symbol]
   TEXT EQUIV: [SYMBOL]

	DRAW SYMBOL adds SYMBOL references to your drawing.  A SYMBOL is an
	image of a SYMBOL DEFINITION that you have stored in the invisible
	SYMBOL area of your drawing with the DEFINE SYMBOL command.  You can
	scale and rotate each SYMBOL as	you insert it.

\Ellipse

 DRAW COMMAND: [Ellipse]
   TEXT EQUIV: [ELIP]

	ELLIPSE lets you draw ellipses or elliptical arcs using one of the 
	four methods listed below. EasyCAD uses dynamic cursors to help you 
	stretch the ellipse to the dimensions you want. You can hold down the 
	SHIFT key to move the ellipse while stretching it.

	If you are using EasyCAD without a math co-processor, the dynamic
	redraw of the elliptical cursors may seem too slow or jerky. You can 
	turn off the dynamic cursor feature with the CONFIGURE command from 
	the SPEC menu.

	[ELIPP] Center & 2 axis points
	[ELIPC] Circle at angle to window
	[ELIPI] Inclination & length

    TEXT EQUIV: [GRIDV]

	GRID VALUE lets you set spacing between grid dots. When EasyCAD asks 
	for horizontal and vertical spacing, you can press the right button
	to accept the current spacing, use a math operator (* or /) to multiply
	or divide the current spacing, type a new value, or select two points
	the desired distance apart.

\Part-Array

 COPY COMMAND: [Part Array]
   TEXT EQUIV: [PARY]

	PART ARRAY builds a rectangular array from multiple copies of a part
	file, arranging the parts in regularly spaced columns and rows.  
	EasyCAD asks you to select a part file and an insertion point for the
	first point, then asks for the number of columns and rows. The next
	prompt reads "2nd row, 2nd column:".  This offset tells EasyCAD the
	vertical and horizontal distance between PARTS in the ARRAY.  EasyCAD
	draws a rubber-band cursor from the "insert at:" point to the current
	position to help you judge the spacing. When you are satisfied with the 	distance, press the left button and EasyCAD draws the rest of the
	ARRAY.

	each ring, including the original.  The prompt reads "# of rings:".
	Enter the number of objects in each spoke.  Select the "array center:"
	and "copy origin:". Now select the "angle between spokes [even]:". For 
	copies evenly spaced around a full circle, accept the default.  If you 
	told EasyCAD to make more than one ring of copies, the next prompt 
	reads "distance between rings:" (the distance from the first copy 
	in each ring to the origin of the next).  Enter a measurement in 
	EasyCAD UNITS or in FEET and INCHES.

\Circ-Part-Ary

 COPY COMMAND: [Circ Part Ary]
   TEXT EQUIV: [CPARY]

	CIRC PART ARY (Circular Part Array) inserts multiple parts arranged in
	rings.  Select CIRC PART ARY from the COPY menu and then select a PART
	file and enter a scale factor.  The next prompt reads "rotate by [0]:".
	The default (no rotation) aligns each part with the spoke it is in.
	Next EasyCAD asks "# of spokes:" and "# of rings:".  Enter the number
	of objects in each ring and each spoke.	Now select "array center:" with
	the crosshairs.  The next prompt reads "1st part at:".  Select an
	insertion point for the first PART (on the inner ring of the first
	spoke).  Now enter "angle between spokes [even]:".  If you want PARTS
	evenly spaced around a full circle, accept the default.  If you told
	EasyCAD to insert more than one ring, the prompt reads "distance
	between rings:".  Enter a measurement and EasyCAD inserts the parts.

	TEXT will be a single line in your drawing. Use the keyboard arrows 
	to move around in the TEXT window or use the DEL key to remove 
	characters. Press RETURN when you have finished the TEXT. The TEXT 
	now appears attached to the crosshairs ready for you to place. 
	You can grow or shrink the TEXT by holding down the SHIFT key as 
	you move the cursor.
