Add Coordinates

We use this to add setting-out coordinates to our siteplan drawings. The program creates a link between a point on your drawing and a known grid coordinate. You then add other coordinates by giving screen hits. Will also position a graphic at a given coordinate.

Change Case

This is similar to the Format > Change  Case command in Word, and allows you to reformat existing text  to be Sentence case, Lower case, Upper case,  Title case or  Toggle  the existing case.
