CAD/CADNew/+CAD1

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).
