ChoiceCAD is a fast 2-D drafting system designed for professionals who want a straightforward method of quickly creating production drawings. A popular feature of the program is its ability to draw by Geometry Constructions which can then be traced over, much like one does on the drawing board.
ChoiceCAD Micro 1 is completely customisable. It includes a powerful macro programming language with DDE links to allow you to write your own commands. ChoiceCAD Micro 1 includes the additional benefit of letting you use sample commands from existing ChoiceCAD add-on programs. These include commands for Cavity Walls (architecture), Bolts (mechanical engineering) and Portal Frames (structural steel).
ChoiceCAD Micro 1 gives you access to ChoiceCADs full range of 2-D drawing tools. You can import drawings via DXF and DWG (up to and including AutoCAD Release 12) and also bring in bitmaps. Once you have created a drawing you can save it, print it or plot it, or export it as a DXF or DWG file. You can use it indefinitely. It is NOT time-dated.
You can add you own icons, commands, menus. etc, to ChoiceCAD. We used this feature to add an extra menu to ChoiceCAD Micro 1 called DOCS. The DOCS menu contains documentation on how to use of ChoiceCAD, as well as the sample commands taken from our architectural, mechanical and structural steel add-ons. Detailed instructions on the use ChoiceCAD and its macro language can be found in the illustrated Help.
To help you get started the ChoiceCAD Icon Guide and Quick Start Card appear as ChoiceCAD drawings in the DOCS menu. These can printed out from inside ChoiceCAD. A laser or inkjet printer is recommended.
If you get stuck, use the HELP. It can be printed out topic by topic. Help contains almost the full manual. If you have a problem study the Things You Should Know and Common Problems and Answers sections. You will find most of the answers you need in these two sections. Remember, you can print the Help out, topic by topic.
