User
friendly menu system: Vision Designer is the most
user-friendly drafting and designing software available
in the country making a first-time user a full-time user
in no time. Menus can be conveniently popped up at the current
cursor location and all commands can be invoked by a single
character which is highlighted on the screen. On-line HELP
and customizable menus add to the userfriendlinesS of the
package.

Features: |

Sophistkated
Construction Primitives: Vision Designer supports a
wide variety of graphic priniitives such as lines, arcs, circles,
polygons I-splines -B-splines, freehand sketch,ellipse, elliptical
arcs and text. Each primitive
" can have a number of
attributes such as colour, linetype,thickness etc., and be edited
with greater ease.
Symbol libraries: Repeatedly
used pictures can be stored as a symbol and reproduced when
required. These symboJs can be stored in a symbol library which
can be protected with passwords and flashed as Icons on the
screen for easy identification. |

| |
Drawing
Transformations: Vision Designer supports modifying
transformations like translate, mirror and scale in both move
and copy mode. Multiple copies of selected pictures can be
obtained in linear, circular and rectangular pall ern. |

Construction Features:
'-Vision Designer supports construction features like splitting,
chamfering filleting, tangents, offsetting ele. Window copy
is a feature provided for higilighting intricated details of
any drawing. Object snapping to nearest end point, centre point,
intersection point, etc., can be selected using Icons. Attributes
of a line/arc/circle can be enquired operations can be undone
by any number of steps. Drawings can be automatically saved
based on number of commands and time. An on-line calculator
can be invoked at any time for calculations. Supports a wide
variety of input devices such as keyboard, mice, digitizer,
etc. |

Dimneosioning:
Dimensioning is done faster with Vision Designer since
a drawing which has been created using Vision Designer, has
all the dimensions stored accurately inside. Dimensioning is
automatic and associative. Variety of dimensioning modes are
supported such as linear, radial, angular, circumference, etc.
Base line dimensioning and chain line dimensioning are some
of the advanced features. User has a complete control of the
dimension variables, such as dimension text height/",idth,
dimension type, arrow type, tolerance, precision, dimension
scale, etc. |
|
| |
Bill of Materials:
A flexible Bill of Materials (BOM) is built into the package.
It can be defined with a number of attributes like area, volume,
mass, length, cost of material, time of manufacturing, etc.
for different parts of a drawing. |
|
| |
Layers:
Different parts of drawings can be drawn on different layers
and information can he saved and plotted selectivdy based on
layers. Layers may be considered as independent drawing sheets
on which the drawing is to be created. There is no limit on
the number of layers that can be created and each layer can
be attributed with colour, linetype and thicknc;ss. |
|
| |
Hatch
Patterns: Vision Designer supports intelligent hatching
which is associated with the primitives. Apart from the standard
patterns in-built with the package, Vision Designer supports
user definable hatch patterns also. Open hatch, edge editing
and floQd filling are 5~'me of the advanced fealures. |
|
| |
Viewing
Transformations: Viewing transformations like zoom
and pan can be operated with greater case. A unique function
of setting reference tags to restore different viewing modes
is available. Advanced feal ures like dynamic zooming and auto
paning are also supported. |
|
| |
IGES/DXF Interface:
Vision Designer's drawing can be imported/exported
to other CAD packages through IGES/DXF interface. |
|
| |
Plotting:
A wide yaricty of plotters/printers arc supported for obtaining
hard copy of drawings. Plotting can be online and supports screen
dumping on dot matrix printers and laser printers. |
|
| |
3D Modelling Capabilities:
Vision Designer can be divjdcd in to multiple view ports (upto
4). Each one of them can be assigned to display any of the isometric,
perspective and orthographic views. Vision Designer supports
3D primitives such as cone, cylinder, sphere, pyran-,id, hdix,
etc. Vision Designer supports various typcs of surfaces such
as lofted surfaces, coons patch, cut surface, offset surfaces,
polymesh, 3D face, BSplines, Bezier surfaces, linear sweep,
rotational sweep, join sections and path sweep. Vision De,signer
supports dynamic viewing for one/twol three point
perspective with walk-in facility. Unique feature of Vision
Designeris it's built-in shading and hidden line
removal capability. Various shading methods such as GO URAD,
PHONG and faceted are implemented in 256 colours. Colour pallette
is displayed on the screen for colour selection. Exploded 3D
objects or face,~ of a 3D object can be shaded face-wise. |

Vision Graphic
Language (VGL): Vision Designer supports parametric
programming facility using VGL for 20 and 3D functions. Programs
written in VGL are compiled and stored in the form of symbols
in randomly accessible libraries. The user can use this unique
capability to customize Vision Designer to his own requirements.
VGL is a 'C' like language and has a wide variety of functions
for string manipulation, mathematical operations, dimensioning,
. member accessing, header files, MACROS, etc. |
