Welcome
The upgraded simulation combines geometry instruments with modern drawing and annotation tools. Use the toolbox to construct shapes, sketch ideas, add labels, insert images, and export your finished work with ease.
1. Using the Engineering Drafter
Select the required instrument(s) from the toolbar.
- Drag the green Fixing Clamp to move the entire drafter to the desired position.
- Use the green Locking Knob to slide the ruler smoothly in both the horizontal and vertical directions.
- Rotate the drawing head by dragging the Rotate symbol attached to the ruler.
- The green indicator beside the Locking Knob serves as the reference mark for accurate alignment during drawing.
- Use the toolbar checkboxes to show or hide the Pen.
2.Open the Tool Box
Open the Tool Box using the burger button in the top-right corner
3. Draw and Trace Constructions
- Select the Pen tool from the toolbox.
- Move the pen tip close to the edge of an instrument and hold it steady.
- Drag slowly for smooth and accurate tracing.
- Adjust the stroke width, color, and style from the toolbox to match your construction.
You can also use the compass tracing feature to draw precise circles and arcs by rotating around the needle tip.
4. Add Text and Images
- Choose the Text tool, enter your label, and pick a size and color.
- Click on the workspace to place the text exactly where you want it.
- Use the Image tool to upload a picture and adjust its opacity and size as a visual reference.
These features are useful for labeling points, angles, measurements, or adding supporting visuals to your work.
5. Erase and Refine
- Activate the Eraser from the toolbox.
- Drag it over unwanted lines or text to remove them.
- Adjust the eraser size for fine corrections or larger cleanups.
Use the eraser carefully so completed parts of the construction remain intact.
6. Use the Grid and Workspace Controls
Turn on the grid whenever you need better alignment and more precise spacing.
- Improve accuracy while placing instruments.
- Keep lines and shapes evenly spaced.
- Make detailed constructions easier to follow.
7. Export and Start Fresh
- Review your construction when you are finished.
- Click Export Image to save it as a PNG.
- Choose the background color when prompted.
- Use Clear Screen whenever you want to reset the workspace for a new activity.
The exported image can be used in assignments, reports, presentations, and classroom notes.
Helpful Tips
- Open the simulation in fullscreen for a larger and more comfortable workspace.
- Position instruments before tracing to keep your lines accurate.
- Move the pointer slowly for smoother strokes and cleaner shapes.
- Use different colors and line styles to distinguish each step of a construction.
- Review your work carefully before exporting the final image.
