Operations with units
Edit unit sizes Change unit sizes –  Changes the sizes of selected unit.
Unit rotation  2D Unit Rotation  –  Performs rotation of a unit in two-dimensional view.
Unit position

Unit position – The operation is used for precisely moving and positioning of a unit.

Copy unit

Copying of unit – Copies a generated unit from the drawing, together with its adjoining element nomenclature. Registers the created copy in the program system. It is not the same as Copy -Create copy from Vertical menu (These options make only physical duplicates,they don't create element nomenclatures and do not register the units in the program system.)

Unit correction

Unit correction – Opens for  editing  an already generated by program unit.This operation is applicable only for generated polyelement  units.


Work with jobs/ drawing

New job/drawing

New job – Opens new empty drawing. The job must be saved under a user name,different from Drawing before work with it. Otherwise the job making operations as Room generating, Insert units and etc. will not be active.

Open job/ drawing

Open job – Loads the list with the saved drawings in the program system for choice and opening.

Save a drawing

Save a job – Saves the job under its user name (if it is a new one) or saves the changes in an already saved one.

Save as new job

Save as new job – This operation is used for saving a new drawing with its user name or for entering an already existing one with a new name.


Operations intended for creation a drawing / job

Room generating

Room generating – Opens a dialog for setting-up the parameters and generating a new premise (room) or for editing the characteristics and pregenerating of the existing one.

Insert units

Insert units – The operation automate the process of adding units in the drawing (non-standard) and opens the modules for generating of polyelement units- Cabinets,Sink Cabinets,Base Cabinets an etc.

Additional elements

Additional elements – The module generates one-element units in the drawing.The units have functional purpose as self-dependent units or as additional elements toward other units.They can be used for creation of interior elements in the room with different shape,   columns, arches, rosettes and etc.

Worktops

Worktops – Starts the operation of entering the parameters and generating of a worktop,wall panels (vertical worktop) and plinths.

Group addition and deleting of units

Group addition and deleting of units – Automates the operation about adding fronts toward generated cabinets and adding handles toward the fronts.

Sets

Sets The set is a few cabinets (group of cabinets),fronts and handles,all that saved in one template.Created once,the set can be called in and generated in other job, without making and arranging again all units in the set.

2D Text

Addition and correction of 2D text in the drawingThe module is been used for adding and editing 2D texts in the drawing.

Faience - terracotta Faience - terracotta - The module generates tiles by beforehand given scheme and parameters. Its purpose is to construct the interior-walls and floor,regardless of their type (bathrooms,kitchens and other premises).

Dimensioning operations

Measurement and dimensioning - Opens operation for measurement of a distance, angle and/or of radius in the drawing. The drawing of the sizes makes by a way of a manual selection of points. It is recommendatory to use it for single units.

Automatic dimensioning of units - Opens operation of dimensioning of the drawing. The dimensioning makes on basis of specified units in View top and View front.

Rendering operations
Texture library

Texture library – Open the operation for connecting the layers in the project with palettes. You can add user textures in the libraries.Here can change a texture characterizations  that is connected with layers,without leaving the module.

Edit texture characteristics

Correction of the texture characteristics – Open the operation for editing the texture characteristics in AutoCAD environment, mainly for textures from Chrome and Glass libraries.It is recommended to use the above-mentioned operation, not this one.

Hide layer

Visible layers in the drawing – Defines which layers in the drawing to be visible and which - not.It is used for freezing layers for better visibility at some operations.

Render a drawing using textures

Render a drawing using textures – Opens a dialog where you can change the settings of the rendering and its starting.


Render parameters - Opens a window for adjustment of common parameters for colouring. THE OPERATION DIFFERS FROM OPERATION ABOVE!
Views

Views – It is used for saving fixed views for rendering, printing or for  follow-up loading.

Light sources - User's system

Light sources - User system – Starts the operation for creation and adding light sources in the drawing.

Light sources - Standard system

Light sources - Standard system -Starts the operation for creation and adding light sources in the drawing in AutoCAD environment.

Camera

Camera – Activate the operations needed for setting a view for rendering - moving, scaling, rotation, perspective settings and etc.

Save a drawing in a graphic file FORM

Save a drawing in a graphic file FORM – Saves the coloured image as a picture. The image saves in the job directory.To see it, open the module Open job and select the option bmp/jpg. The operation becomes unavailable when loading the menu Auto CAD and restores when the menu Design Sintez becomes active.

Interior units Interior units - Insert  interior units in the drawing - pictures, carpets, landscapes,  posters.

Operations for pricing and cutting .

Price offer

Cut Base Pro

Cutting of sheet materials - Cut Base Pro  - Starts the cutting operation and the printing of details specification 


Views
User view

User view – The operation is used for fast setting of a view for rendering by specifying of the looker on position and the object position.

Wireframe mode 2D - Turns the drawing in wireframe mode.  AutoCAD sets in the final image an icon of two-dimensional coordinate system. Should be used for visualizing the text in the Manual cuting.

Wireframe mode 3D – Displays the objects using lines and curves to represent the boundaries.
Hidden mode Hidden mode – Displays the objects using 3D wireframe representation and hides lines representing back faces.

Realistic - Shades the objects and smooths the edges between polygon faces.

Perspective view
Turn on / Turn off perspective view -  Specifies whether the current viewport displays a perspective view. Turn on a perspective view if is switched of and contrary. The operation is enabled for AtoCAD2008 and higher versions.
