E³.logic 2 Start-up Guide
Welcome to you r First Tour thr ough t he Function ality of E³.logic for
Electronics
By following the steps described below, you can familiarise yourself with main functions of this programme and see how easy it is to create circuit diagrams for electronics.
Please read the respective forewords to the individual chapters since they will help you perform the described actions. Information, pertaining to basic operations and the user interface, can be found in the chapter The E³.series User Interface.
By the end of this tour, you will have become acquainted with the various functions, which can then be applied to your own design needs.
Have fun with this introduction! Generating Proj ects and Sheets Creatin g a New Proj ect
With E³.logic, you always work within a project. A project can consist of any number of drawing sheets and additional documents, which are stored in a single file. Start the programme.
To create a new project, use the command
File -> New or the corresponding icon .
Creating a New Sheet
The sheet format can be selected directly from the symbol database. Right-click on the folder Untitled in the Project Window Sheet tab and select the command New Sheet....
The sheet name can be changed in this menu and the desired sheet format DINA3 selected. If several sheets already exist in a project, you can control where a sheet is inserted by activating either of the two Insert buttons (insert as first sheet or at the end).
The different sheet formats (e.g. DIN A1, A2, A3 and ANSI A, B, C, etc.) are
stored in the database with their unique size, layout and sheet header information.
