Starting progeCAD

To start progeCAD, choose Start > All Programs > ITC > progeCAD (may vary, depending on your operating system).

Each time you start progeCAD, the Start Page displays on your screen (unless on the Start Page you have marked Skip Start Page Next Time). Use the Start Page to quickly open drawings, create new drawings, and send feedback about the program.

For versions of progeCAD that dont have a Start Page, the program opens a new, blank drawing based on a default template, icad.dwt. Using a template as the basis for a new drawing has several advantages:

    You can use predetermined units of measure, grid settings, text heights, and other settings appropriate for the type of drawing youre creating.

    You can predefine special layers.

    You can predefine the type of print style table.

    You can include predefined title blocks and borders.
