Modules

Stardraw Design 7's drawing Modules are graphical environments, each of which makes it easy to create a certain type of drawing. Each module features a specific layer structure, optimized document settings, drawing/viewing tools, and each accesses a specific type of product symbol to make it quicker and easier than ever before to create professional system drawings and product layouts.

All drawing Modules share the following core functionality.

Full-featured vector drawing tools including Line, Rectangle, Ellipse/Circle/Arc, Text, Dimension - draw anything in Stardraw Design 7.
Drawing/editing modifiers including Snap to Grid, Snap to Path, Orthogonal Lock.
Unlimited layers with Display and Lock states.
Product Browser for adding product symbols.
Create User Defined Products.
Symbol editing.
Context-sensitive Properties Grid for defining object styles, Attribute values and document settings.
'Arrange' tools to Align, Distribute, Order and Mirror objects.
Symbols Palette for efficiently managing product additions made in other views.
Insert Picture tool supporting BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, ICO, WMF and EMF formats.
Import from and export to Stardraw 2007 (.S01) format files.
Export drawing to Acrobat(PDF), BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, Visio and WMF formats.

Stardraw Design 7's configurable, modular structure allows you to select as many or as few Modules as you need, and you can bolt on additional Modules at any time.

Dashboard - Drawings View

Block Schematic Module

For creating system schematics showing interconnections and engineering detail.

Symbols	Stylised and focussed on product inputs and outputs, Block Schematic symbols are designed to be technically accurate showing all IOs, labelled as per the real-world product.
Layers	Default layers for circuit paths, including Audio, Video, Control, Power and Lighting, plus user-definable layers.
Features	Drag/drop to position products and show connections. Powerful, multi-function Cable tool for showing system interconnections. Rubber-Banding to keep cables connected to symbols as you move them. Smart connections and auto-reconnect to reduce drawing time while editing. Cable Labelling and comprehensive Attribute features. Show/hide discrete circuit path layers.

Block Schematic

Rack Layout Module

Create 19" rack layouts for 'build-as' and presentation purposes.

Symbols

Highly detailed and accurate, 1:1 scale, line art symbols of front, rear and side (depth only) views of products, including front panel controls and rear panel connectors.*

Layers

Default layers for front high and low detail, rear high and low detail, side view and side view clearances.

Features

Simple drag/drop to produce rack layouts with front, side and rear views.
Document grid of 1" across and 1RU high for ease of positioning and spacing of products to allow for ventilation etc.
Symbols at 1:1 scale - show dimensions directly on drawing.
Side view clearances on product symbols, showing recommended allowance for longest connector plus safe bend radius of cable.

* Where manufacturer has made detailed product data available; if manufacturer data is unavailable, symbol may show manufacturer name and model number only.

Rack Layout

Panel Layout Module

For designing custom connection and control panels.

Symbols	Panel Layout symbols are of connectors, rackmount blank panels and standard electrical panels. Connector symbols are highly detailed line art at 1:1 scale showing front and rear details including pinouts, plus cutout details for panel manufacture.
Layers	Default layers for front, rear, metalwork (cutout and engraving) and clearance views.
Features	Drag/drop design of custom panels. Paste Array and Distribute tools to make it easy to lay out multiple connectors. Front, Rear and Metalwork views. Symbols at 1:1 scale - show dimensions directly on drawing. Easy to set custom engraving by connector. Panel and Connector clearance indicators to ensure optimized panel layouts.

Panel Layout

Pictorial Schematic Module

For creating single-line drawings for presentation purposes.

Symbols

Highly detailed front and rear views.* Not at 1:1 scale; symbols are designed for presentation, not construction drawings.

Layers

Default layers for front and rear views, and circuit paths including Audio, Video, Lighting, Power and Control.

Features

Drag/drop presentation design.
Flexible Cable tool for single-line connections showing design intent, rather than engineering detail.

* Where manufacturer has made detailed product data available; if manufacturer data is unavailable, symbol may show manufacturer name and model number only.

Pictorial Schematic

Plan View Module

For working with floor- and reflected ceiling plan drawings, usually by taking a third-party AutoCAD (DWG) file as your starting point.

Symbols	Basic symbols for showing product locations Symbol Browser allows you to choose your own S01, DWG, DXF or image files, including JPG, GIF and PNG, for use as symbols.
Layers	Supports layer structure imported from DWG. Symbols are located on current (working) layer.
Features	General-purpose CAD interface. Exploits enhanced DWG compatibility to facilitate communication with Architects, Consultants and others that demand AutoCAD submissions. Flexible symbol browser allows use of different file types, including DWG and image formats, as symbols; define multiple folder locations for custom symbols.
