Start drawing
These settings are only for CadCraft, and you can change them only here, in the app.
Loading the menu styles…
The crosshair and pick box in the drawing. A bigger pick box also picks objects from a little farther away.
Where a pasted copy hangs from the cursor (Ctrl+V) until you click: the lower-left corner of the copy's extents, or its center. Copy with a base point (COPYBASE) and that point is used instead.
With no command running. Adds: each click or window adds to what is selected, and Shift takes objects out. Replaces: a click or window selects only what it picks, and Shift adds to the selection (Shift+click a selected object to take it out).
With no command running, a click where there is no object starts a selection window. It can also clear what is selected (hold Shift to keep it), or keep the selection, as other drafting programs do: then Esc clears it.
Press and drag on an empty spot. Lasso draws a freehand outline: drag to the right to select what lies wholly inside it, to the left for what it touches, and press Space while dragging to switch between window, crossing and fence. Rectangle draws a box instead. A click, then a second click, always draws a box. Same as LASSOMODE 1 or 0.
In TRIM and EXTEND, pressing on an empty spot and dragging draws a freehand path (it trims every piece it crosses), or a window (it trims every piece it touches, as the C option does).
With objects selected, the status bar shows their total length and the total area of the closed ones. Properties always shows them for several objects.
Automatic shows the axis icon on the Model tab and the view cube on the 3D tab; the other choices apply to both. The axis icon is the X and Y marker at the bottom left of the Model tab (X, Y and Z on the 3D tab). The view cube sits at the top right: on the Model tab it shows the drawing from the top, and clicking another face, edge or corner opens the 3D tab looking from there; on the 3D tab it turns with the view. Sheets show neither.
With many sheets, show only each sheet's number on its tab (from the sheet set, or the start of its name, like A-101). Hover a tab for its whole name.
Lost a toolbar, a menu or a panel?
Puts the toolbar (order, lock and buttons), the panels, the screen mode and the menu style back to how CadCraft starts. Your theme, language, sizes and CadCraft's own settings stay as they are.
The theme applies to every CadCraft app and the site.
The language applies to every CadCraft app. The app reloads to change it.
Browsers allow full screen only after a click or key press, so it starts on your first click in the drawing.
On a touch screen (swipe the toolbar for more, or let it wrap)
Arrange: drag tools within their group, and drag a group by its name.
Right-click the toolbar (or long-press it) for Arrange, Lock and Reset.
Fingers on the drawing, once you use a pen here
With Only move the view, one finger on the drawing does nothing and two fingers move and zoom it. These choices are for this device, in every app. A pen is noticed the first time you use one here.
The bars, toolbars, panels and dialogs of CadCraft, bigger or smaller; the drawing keeps its own zoom. Panel text size works on top of it.
You can also drag a panel's inner edge. Double-click the edge to put it back.
Drag a panel by its name to dock it left, right or at the bottom, or drop it over the drawing to float it. A new window can go on your other screen. Reset layout puts every panel back where it started.
Add-ons add features to CadCraft. Switching one off takes effect at once; some need a reload to go completely.
Developer mode is on: add-ons that are not signed can load. Only use add-ons you trust.
Panel widths apply when the panels sit beside the drawing (wider windows).
