About Elecdes Drawing Functions

The Autodraw functions may be thought of as custom MACROS that construct sections of circuits from several line segments and several symbols.

Autodraw functions save time by drawing, sizing, positioning and breaking line segments, without removing your control of the overall sizes and positions.

All Autodraw circuits, once constructed, may be considered as simply a collection of lines and Elecdes symbols. i.e. they may be treated identically to circuits constructed by manual methods (drawing conductor lines then inserting symbols onto them).

Once circuits are constructed, any standard commands provided by the CAD package (e.g. STRETCH, COPY, DDATTE, and ATTXEDIT) and a number of Elecdes commands (UPDATE, EBASE...) can be used to alter the appearance and data of the circuit.
