Tip for Week 09/27/04

 
Every piece of equipment that is pre-drawn as a block in the PostalCAD directories comes from the AS504 manual.  This manual is an excellent resource for finding information on your equipment or to choose the correct one to place in your drawing.  PostalCAD contains a Windows help file of this document.  You can access it in three different ways.

The first is to go to the Layout menu pull-down and choose the AS504 Handbook listing.

The second is to type in AS504 at the command line.

The third method is to open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the C:\pcad2004\Layout\Support directory and double click on the AS504.hlp file.  This file can also be made into a shortcut on your desktop or Start bar for easy access outside of AutoCAD.
