CAD/CADNew/I1

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Advanced CAD Version 1.0
Written by Dominic Ford 1998

This program is intended to allow the user to enter circuit schematic diagrams
into their computer. This can be useful for a number of reasons, whether it be
to create a computer library of useful circuits, to aid with the design process
of a circuit, or simply to enable you to enter circuit diagrams into your
documents with ease.

Some users may remember the CAD+ program which was published on EUG a couple of
years back. This program is similar in that it performs the same task, although
there are a number of fundamental differences between how the two operate. The
main difference is that this program is "object-based" whereas CAD+ was not.
This means that when you place a component, it stores the fact that there is a
component there, as opposed to simply placing a picture of the component at the
relevant coordinates in a grid of pixels. This makes editting a lot easier. To
move a component in CAD+ was a nightmare - you had to carefully remove the
component from its original position, place it in its new position, and then
redraw any links to it manually. In Advanced CAD, you can simply click on the
component, drag it across the screen, and you are done. The component will be
removed from its old location, redrawn in the new position, and any links to it
will update automatically.

This is not the only benefit of the object-based system. Storing a pixel array
in the way CAD+ does takes a huge amount of memory, and you cannot fit that
many circuits onto a disc. In this program, the files are a fraction of the
size (a complex circuit might take a tenth the space taken up by a CAD+ file,
a simple circuit more like a fiftieth).

I will now describe step-by-step how to operate Advanced CAD. I am assuming
that you have the program running in front of you - if not, I strongly
recommend that you print this out. It will be fairly heavy going without
seeing the software to understand what I am talking about!

SELECTING AN INPUT DEVICE

When you first start up Advanced CAD, you are asked what input device you would
like to use to control the program. You can use an AMX Mouse, an analougue
joystick, or the keyboard.

First, you are asked if you wish to use an AMX mouse. Only answer yes (ie.
press M for mouse) if you are using a BBC Micro with the AMX Mouse ROM
installed. If you select mouse control, the pointer will be controlled soully
by the mouse, and keyboard/joystick control will be disabled. If you select
keyboard control, you have the option of having joystick control as well (these
two input devices can operate together). Only answer yes to this if you have a
joystick plugged into your computer's analougue port, otherwise the floating
lines of the port may well effect the input received, making the program
unusable.

Once you have selected your input device, the main program loads. You are then
confronted with the CAD Editor screen. At the centre is a cross-haired pointer
which you can control with the selected input device(s). The controls are as
follows:

Keyboard: Z = Left, X = Right, * = Up, ? = Down, RETURN = Click.

Joystick: Fairly obvious, any one of the buttons to click.

Mouse: Left button to click; Middle button to move component; Right button to
add component. The latter two are shortcuts to two of the more commonly used
features. See later for description of these.

A BRIEF TOUR OF ADVANCED CAD

Start up Advanced CAD with a fresh page (ie. how the program is when it starts
up). Click the pointer with the selected input device, and a menu will appear.
This is the menu of basic CAD functions. They are as follows:

File - Bring up a subsiduary menu of filing options (Load, Save, etc.)
Add - Add a component to the circuit.
Cancel - Oops, I didn't mean to bring that menu up - Go away!

You can move up and down the menu with the mouse, joystick (you have to waggle
it), the keys * and ?, or the cursor keys. For the moment, select "Add" (ie.
move down once until Add is highlighted, and click). The menu will disappear,
and a capacitor will appear under the pointer. You have just added a component
to the circuit design.

Now move the pointer left a little way, until it is away from the capacitor. We
now want to add another component to the design - a battery. First, you must
select battery on the list at the top of the screen. Use the cursor keys to
scroll this list down until "Battery" is highlighted. When you add a component
now, it will be a battery, not a capacitor. Do so - click the pointer with
"Battery" selected at the top, and then click on "Add". A battery will now
appear to the left of the capacitor, under the pointer.

Suppose we now want to link the two components together. First, click on one of
the two components. I will assume here that you have clicked on the battery for
ease of explaining the process, although the process is very similar if you
click on the capacitor first. When you click on the component, the "Object"
menu appears. This menu relates to functions which you can perform on that
component to manipulate it, and has the following options:                                                
File - Same as on main menu (filing options eg. load/save)
Move - Move a component around the screen.
Delete - Removes a component from the circuit, and deletes any links to it.
Label - Labels the component to make it clear what it does.
Link - Connect to components together.
Cancel - Once again, there is an "Oops" escape route.

We want to link to components together, so select "Link". Next, you are asked
which of the terminals of the battery you wish to connect on a secondary menu.
For the purposes of this example, select the Anode. You have now instructed
Advanced CAD to make a connection to the anode of the battery. Notice that the
status box at the top of the screen changes from "Ready" to "Linking" to show
this change of state.

You now have to specify where you want to link this terminal to. Move the
pointer to the component that you want to link to (in this case the capacitor),
and click on it. This time the object menu does not come up, because you are in
the middle of making a link. Instead a menu comes up asking which terminal you
wish to link to. In this example, select "Left". Once you do this, you will
have completed the link, and the status will return to "Ready". Notice that a
line has been drawn between the anode of the battery and the left terminal of
the capacitor, as requested.

It is not clear at the moment what voltage the battery is, or what capacitance
the capacitor should have. For purposes such as these, you may well want to
label components with text. For this you click on the component you wish to
label and bring up the "Object" menu. This time select "Label". A 4x2 character
box will appear for you to enter your label. To move the cursor without typing,
use the cursor keys, and to enter your label, press RETURN. Notice that the
label you entered is now displayed above the component. You may think that 4x2
characters is rather limiting, and it is. This is intended to be sufficient to
give a value such as 4k7 and a number to each part. It is generally considered
good practice to use an indexing system, anyway (eg. label a resistor as R1,
and then have a footnote seperately, entitled R1, to explain what the resistor
does).
