5 TUTORIALS

TUTORIAL 1 - Screen layout, menu selection, etc.

The STIKA Design program window provides a clear view of the current drawing, material size,

various information areas, and a selection of icons with tools to cover the most common drawing,

editing, and display functions.

1. Start up Stika Design (see Starting the Program page 5) and familiarise yourself with the

screen layout as shown below:

2. Menu items are normally chosen from the menu bar or the toolbox, using the mouse (although

many keyboard alternatives are available). To choose an item from the toolbox, position the

pointer over the appropriate icon and click the LH mouse button. Some items in the RH tool-

box (the Drawing Aids toolbox), such as Grid, will cause the icon to stay selected (on) until it

is chosen again.
