The items of this menu are activated and deactivated according tothe context, for example “Cut” and 'Copy” are active if at least oneobject is selected in the drawing, “Paste” and “Paste special…” ifobjects were copied or cut before,…
This menu allows you:
- tocancel the actions or to remake those which you have just cancelled.The number of cancellation is not limited but is given to zero to eachrecording.
- to cut, copy, paste or erase the selected objects.
- to do one “Paste special…” (to see whether below).
- but also to select all the objects of the drawing.
- to carry out a special selection, parameterized via a dialogue.
- to define the 10 line weights per defect.
- to define the parameters for the parallel objects.
-to publish and modify the attributes of the 10 preset arrows, the 10preset dotted lines, the 10 preset hatchings and 10 preset textures.
- to publish and modify the general preferences, those of quotations, the constrained angles and daffichage.
With Mac OS X, the sub-menu “Preferences…” is on its standard site in the menu “RealCADD”.
- and to define the dimension of the drawing.

This command causes the display of the dialog opposite.
Here, you can define a selection with many criterion working on alltypes of objects or only on some and possibly according to certain attributes of the objects.
This selection can be doing on all objects of the drawing or with themouse, and by deselect objects before or by adding to first selection.

This command causes the display of the dialog opposite.
Here, you can edit and modify the preset arrows. In the top of thedialog, RealCADD display the 10 preset arrows. Below, you have the dataof the selected arrow, here the first. To display the data of an arrow,clic on it.
For the first two types, empty round and full round, you fix thediameter of the round.
For the three following, arrow, plain arrow and inclined line, youindicate the angle and the length of the line. The correspondingeditfields are made visible and accessible after selection from one ofthe 3 corresponding buttons.
After you have modify the data of an arrow, you must valid with thebutton 'Apply'.
To close the dialogue, click on the button “Close”.

Here, you can edit and modify the preset dotted lines.
Clic on the dotted lines of wich you wish to change the data.
Its data fit in the editfields.
Validate the modifications with the button ' Apply '.
To close the dialogue, click on the button “Close”.

Here, you can edit and modify the preset hatch.
Clic on the hatch of wich you wish to change the data.
Its data fit in the editfields.
Validate the modifications with the button ' Apply '.
To close the dialogue, click on the button “Close”.

Here, you can edit the preset textures.
Choose one texture into the 10 and clic on Edit.
RealCADD open automatically a new drawing window with the texture.
A texture is a set of lines (only) repeat with an horizontal andvertical increment. This increment is drawing as a grey rect in thedrawing window of texture.
In RealCADD texture data are stored with double real. So in RealCADD,textures are more precises than in other CAD software.
Fill complex polygon with complex texture can take some seconds.

Here the general parameters:
- the measuring unit used for the drawing : you have the choice betweenkm, m, cm, mm, pixels, feet and inches.
- precision of display, number of figure after the comma of theco-ordinates of the objects.
- the unit of the angles.
- You can ask that RealCADD displays the unit chosen on the pallet ofedition.
- And you can modify the step of the grid taken into account for thegrid attraction.
- If 'Display page break' is checked, like here, RealCADD will draw thelimits of the drawing as well as the page break of printer.
- You can then choose the drawing mode, between clic and drag or clicand clic.
- and the line's style, between round pen or not.

Here, preferences of quotations :
- Display of the unit in the dimensions.
- Length of the lines of recalls, L1, L2 and L3.
- Choice of the type of line of recall: all the same length ' L2 fixed' or well with the same distance from the objects ' L3 fixed '.
- The type of the arrows used for the lines of quotations, drawingunder ' Arrows '. If you clic on the drawing, you cause the display ofa floating pallet allowing for choice of to you another arrow, amongthe 10 preset ones.
- the unit of the quotation which can be different from that selectedin the general preferences.
- the number of figure after the comma.
- the font and the size of text.
- the line's thickness.
- and the tolerances.

Here, you indicate at RealCADD the constraints anglesfor the tool 'Constrains lines' or the other tools with the key Shiftdown on Mac or the key < > on PC.
When you move objects with the mouse, you can have constraint move withthe same key down.

Here, you specify the preferences of display.
- Display of the unit in the title of the pallet of edition.
- Display of the rules and the grid.
- Choice of the options of the grid, into dotted or not, color of the features of the grid, spacings in X and Y.
- Display of the pages of impression.
- Use of Quartz for the drawing (Mac OS X only).
- Display of the reticle of the mouse (= horizontal and vertical axis) during the use of the drawing tools.
- Display of drawing of the reticle.
- Display of the assistances (helptags) for Windows and Mac OS X.

This dialog allow you to fix the size of your drawing.
RealCADD mention the size of the printing page.
There is two way to define the drawing size :
- In absolute, with dimensions that who enter.
- Or in relation to the printing page, by enter the number of page youwant with a * before. Here we will have a drawing of 3*2 pages.
You can change the drawing size also when the drawing is begun.
