Demo Instructions
************************************
1) Copy Vellum 3D v2.62 onto the hard drive.
2) Double-click on the Vellum icon to launch Vellum to an Untitled sheet.
3) Pick the Connected Lines tool from the tool palette. It's in the Line tool sub-palette.
-Press and hold the on the Single Line tool from the tool palette. (It's the second one from the top.) A sub-palette should appear to the right side.
-From the sub-palette, pick the Connects Lines tool. It's the second tool in the sub-palette (not counting the current tool that is displayed in the main palette). The icon looks like a zig-zag line. The Message Line (across the top of the drawing area under the title bar) should tell you that you have the Connected Lines tool selected.
4) Draw the biggest rectangle that will fit on the screen.
-Click in the upper left corner of the drawing area.
-Move the pointer to the upper right corner. Click when Vellum's Drafting Assistant shows a dotted horizontal construction line with an "on" "align:x" message. A horizontal construction line should be drawn across the top of the drawing area.
-Move the pointer to the lower right corner and click when Vellum's Drafting Assistant shows a dotted vertical construction line with a "perpendicular" message. A vertical line should be drawn down the right side of the drawing area.
-Move the cursor to the lower left corner of the drawing area. Click when the Drafting Assistant finds the intersection (there should be an "intersect" message) of the vertical ("align:y") and horizontal ("perpendicular") construction lines. A horizontal lines should be drawn across the bottom of the drawing area.
-Move the pointer back to the first point in the upper left corner of the drawing area. DOUBLE-CLICK the mouse when the Drafting Assistant finds the "endpoint".
(This rectangle could have also been drawn using the Rectangle tool, the fifth tool in the tool palette, but the Connected Lines tool demonstrates Vellum's patented Drafting Assistant.)
5) The rectangle should be selected (it should be red). If it is not, choose Select All from the Edit menu.
6) Choose Crosshatch... from the Pen menu. A crosshatch dialog should appear.
-In the scroll box, choose the Concrete pattern. It's the last one on the list.
-Change the Spacing field to 0.10.
-Press the Apply button and close the Crosshatch dialog box.
7) The rectangle should now be hatched.
8) Choose the Zoom In tool. It's the last tool in the tool palette and looks like a magnifying glass with + sign in the lens.
-Change the Scale factor in the Status Line (across the bottom of the area, above the scroll bar) to 25:1.
9) Make the Invert feature active by choosing the toggling it ON (it should have a check mark by it) in Layout/Preferences. This changes the background color from white to black. **This feature is unique to the Power Macintosh version.**
10) Use the scroll bars to scroll across the drawing. The Power Macintosh version of Vellum is dramatically quicker at redrawing crosshatch patterns than either the 68K Macintosh or Windows version of Vellum.
Additional demo material:
1) From the File menu, choose Open. Navigate to the YF-22 sample file in the Samples 3D folder within the Vellum Folder.
2) Choose Zoom All from the Arrange menu.
3) From the 3D menu, choose Show Trackball. A trackball should appear in the upper left corner.
