 Introduction

Microspot offers four series of Microspot Librarian symbol libraries. These are
sets of graphic images ready for use in MacDraft® drawings and will provide you
with many of the elements you need to quickly and easily complete or embellish
your drawings.

Librarian
Librarian is a drag and drop-compatible application for storing and retrieving any
type of data, and is included with MacDraft 4.3. It can be used with any
application that supports drag and drop (or copy and paste). An unlimited number
of libraries can be created, each of which can hold hundreds of items. Custom
libraries can contain symbols from different symbol libraries, items and files you
have drawn, and files of many other types.
Librarian can be used with MacDraft to hold PICT images of furniture,
architectural and electrical components etc. Adding library items to drawings is as
simple as dragging and dropping them from the library into the MacDraft
document.
See the section Librarian in the MacDraft User Guide Addendum for further
details.

Drag and Drop

MacDraft version 4.3 implements drag and drop. This means that any PICT file
can be dragged into a MacDraft document window, and objects or group of objects
can be dragged from a MacDraft document to, for example, a Librarian file
(symbol libraries in the old format are not supported).
Items in image and graphics file formats dragged into MacDraft from Librarian
files will be converted into PICT.
See the section Drag And Drop in the MacDraft User Guide Addendum for further
details.

About Symbol Libraries

Each library has been professionally drawn, using vectors rather than bitmaps,
providing you with the highest possible quality of printing.

Introduction I
Note: The symbols have been optimized for printing on the LaserWriter® and
other PostScript® output devices. Other devices, such as inkjet printers, may
reduce clarity in the final image.

Editing Symbols
Symbols can be easily edited to suit your own needs:
• Once dropped into a drawing, a symbol can be rotated, flipped, moved,
or resized.
• If you ungroup a symbol, you can remove, resize, fill, or otherwise edit
any object within it.
• You can ungroup symbols that contain text and substitute your own text.
Note: be careful when resizing symbols that contain text.

Libraries Available

Graphics Volume 1
Over 200 images of people, cars and trucks, and trees and other landscape
elements. This set is ideal for architects, illustrators, and designers, as well as for
general graphics and presentations.

Graphics Volume 2
Contains over 200 graphic elements to help you create professional-looking
organizational charts, design computer logic diagrams, embellish business charts,
or add character to your correspondence and presentations.

Architecture
A comprehensive set of over 1,100 commonly used symbols for the creation of
residential and light commercial construction drawings. This library provides
architects, engineers, and contractors with symbols that address the 16 standard
specification formats used in construction drawings.

Electronic Schematics
Incorporates over two hundred symbols for a wide array of electronic components
and elements used to create schematic diagrams. Included are everything from
vacuum tubes to transistors and logic gate symbols.
