Introduction
____________________________________________________

Plans is a high speed, versatile drafting program.  Plans uses a
hierarchical (DOS like) data structure allowing the user to group
and manipulate complex drawing objects including the entire drawing.

Using the tools provided, the user can create drawings that are very
detailed and accurate.  A pen plotter or high resolution printer is
required for the highest quality drawings.  Plans can print the
drawing on any Preferences selected graphics printer.

Introduction to Plans3D
____________________________________________________

Plans3D allows the user to quickly create mechanical and
architectural models and then render them to create 2D
perspective line drawings.  These drawings can then be
edited like any other drawing.  Plans3D uses a common
workspace for both 2D and 3D.  This allows the user to
extrude objects in a natural way and to use nearly all of
the 2D commands to manipulate 3D objects in a natural way.

New functions:

Hit number keys to emulate menu subitem selections.

The Snap variables and a few others are in their own window
	now, use '~' to open.

Hit ESC when drawing to numerically edit a new entry.

Use Numeric Edit to numerically edit anything about any entity.

Plans can now do a simple import and export of DXF files.

Bezier curves have been added.

Plans can now load Compugraphic outline fonts from 2 sources:
	The .type files in the FONTS:_Bullet_Outlines directory
	The .lib files in CGFONTS:
