<div>LibreCAD runs on GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, each of which has several versions, therefore some pictures might not not look exactly like what you see on your computer.<br />
<br />
When we first start up LibreCAD, the first thing we see is the GUI (the Graphical User Interface). Based on your prefered operating system the screen migh look like the followings:<br />

<br />
<br />
What is this? I here you say. OK - lets take a look. The LibreCAD user interface (GUI) is where we find the main drawing area (model space), the main tool menu, the main CAD tool bar, the status bar, command line etc...<br />

<div>====''Modifying the visible aspects of LibreCAD''====<br />
<br />
'''Resizing the drawing area'''<br />
<br />
[show screenshot, highlight scroll bar borders]<br />
<br />
The drawing area is basically an infinite two-dimensional space where the elements of the drawing are generated. The visible portion of the drawing area can be made larger or smaller by dragging the border to the right of the right scroll bar or the border below the bottom scroll bar. This effectively also changes the size of the displayed toolbars to the right and bottom of the drawing area.<br />
<br />
'''Docking and undocking toolbars'''<br />
<br />
[show screenshot, highlight a toolbar grip]<br />
<br />
Each toolbar has a small grip at one end which can be used to move the toolbar or dock/undock it. Also, if you right-click on any toolbar, the shortcut menu lets you select which toolbars are currently visible.<br />

==''How to get LibreCAD''==<br />
<br />
LibreCAD is a free and open source CAD application for GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac. The application could be downloaded from the following link:<br />
<br />
[http://librecad.org/cms/home.html librecad.org].<br />
<br />
==''Starting LibreCAD''==<br />
<br />
==''The face of LibreCAD - what do we see?''==<br />
<br />
<br />
When we first start up LibreCAD, the first thing we see is the GUI (the Graphical User Interface).<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
What is this? I here you say. OK - lets take a look. The LibreCAD user interface (GUI) is where we find the main drawing area (model space), the main tool menu, the main CAD tool bar, the status bar, command line etc...<br />

====''Modifying the visible aspects of LibreCAD''====<br />
<br />
'''Resizing the drawing area'''<br />
<br />
[show screenshot, highlight scroll bar borders]<br />
<br />
The drawing area is basically an infinite two-dimensional space where the elements of the drawing are generated. The visible portion of the drawing area can be made larger or smaller by dragging the border to the right of the right scroll bar or the border below the bottom scroll bar. This effectively also changes the size of the displayed toolbars to the right and bottom of the drawing area.<br />
<br />
'''Docking and undocking toolbars'''<br />
<br />
[show screenshot, highlight a toolbar grip]<br />
<br />
Each toolbar has a small grip at one end which can be used to move the toolbar or dock/undock it. Also, if you right-click on any toolbar, the shortcut menu lets you select which toolbars are currently visible.<br />

<div>This is the current LibreCAD Users' Manual.<br />
Its aim is to describe the way that the LibreCAD software works from a user's perspective. This manual is divided into 2 Sections: Section 1 -" Introductory CAD Concepts and Uses" and section 2 - "The Command and Feature Reference". Most new CAD users who are just looking to get a single project completed and don't need to work every day in a CAD application only need a quick 'hop through' Section 1, Section 2 is a bit more technical in nature and discusses the details of how tools work and some of the underlying mechanism as well.<br />
<br />
==Section 1: Introductory CAD Concepts and Uses==<br />
#[[What is CAD]]<br />
#[[The face of LibreCAD]]<br />
#[[Putting lines down]]<br />
#[[Making objects out of lines]]<br />
#[[Using objects to do real work]]<br />
#[[Getting precise about location]]<br />
#[[Getting precise about shapes]]<br />
#[[How to represent 3D objects in a 2D schematic]]<br />
#[[How do I...]]<br />
<br />
==Section 2: Command and Feature Reference==<br />
#[[Commands and tools]]<br />
#[[Feature descriptions]]<br />
#[[Environment options and variables]]<br />
#[[Scripting in LibreCAD]]<br />
#[[Known bugs, issues, and applicable workarounds]]</div>Salman Mohammadihttps://wiki.librecad.org/index.php?title=User:Salman_MohammadiUser:Salman Mohammadi2012-08-14T04:23:38Z<p>Salman Mohammadi: </p>
