Drawing a Design

This section describes how to create an unannotated Draft picture. It describes the part of the Draft database that stores the main administrative and graphical elements, and how to create them. It then describes Views, which are the areas used to display design elements, and how to define their contents.

Note: Throughout this manual, view (lower case letters) means an area view, alpha view or plot view, whereas VIEW (upper-case letters) refers to the VIEW database element. All other database elements are also named using four upper-case letters (for example, DRWG, SHEE, LIBY), but may also be referred to in unabbreviated form with just a leading upper-case letter (for example Drawing instead of DRWG).
