Frequently Asked Questions
	When I run some commands in InCAD, they tell me that they do not work. What's wrong?
	When I plot my diagram, some of the items do not plot. They show up just fine in the drawing on screen. They are white on screen but do not print or plot to paper, what am I doing wrong?
	I copied a file from my Email and now I cannot save to it. Why?
	If I notice some weird things happening to my drawing such as line either appearing or disappearing from the drawing, or points seeming to be in the drawing but not in the survey database, without any explanation, what should I do?
	Can inCAD be used in mining applications underground? In other words, can we input negative HI's and HT's to show that we are working from the ceiling of the drift?
	When listing coordinates, I need to see them in the following order: Point Number, Easting, Northing, Elevation, Description. How can I set the program to do this?
	I want to have my coordinate listings show 4 decimals for the Northing, Easting and Elevation. How can I set this?
	Where can I find the command that allows me to calculate several offsets to points off a baseline?
	I get drawings from my customers that have the old Softdesk or new LDD point blocks in them. Can I make use of these?
	I am an Alberta Land Surveyor and we now use digital submissions for our plans. To make this easier, I heard that you now have the ability to map layer names to new layer names and check the job later to make sure that everything is on the correct layer. Where can I find this?
	I have just brought up a job that I worked in yesterday and now I get an error message saying that points may be missing from my drawing and do I wish to add them back in again. I am confused - what happened to cause this Audit Error?
	I am evaluating the program and I don't have any manuals. Is there anything built in to help me learn the commands?
	I need to draw a grid over my job. Can you do this?
	I need to create an Easement across my job. Do you have a routine to do this?
	My 30 day timer has expired and I have decided that I wish to purchase the program. Do I have to uninstall the program and then reinstall the entire program?
	What is this Assistant thing?
	I need to grab a bunch of points and change their descriptions. Is there a command that can help me?
	I am new to all this CAD stuff. All I want to do is draw lines between my points. What is the easiest way to do this?
	I am using a HP DesignJet plotter with the current plotter driver downloaded from the HP web-site and I am having all sorts of trouble getting the plot to come out to scale. HELP
	When I do the SAVEAS command , can I save the file to my Floppy or CD?
	When I start a new job you always ask me what my Drawing Scale is. I want my lines to be full scale so I can measure them in inCAD but I want my drawing plotted at a given scale. How do I control all of this and not get confused?
	When purchasing inCAD, is there an initial free support period? How long? What support options are available after? I thought I read something that you are offering a yearly support plan?
	I have 3 people in my office running inCAD and they have done well in learning the program in a very short period of time but, I know that setting up a training session would greatly enhance their output and cut the learning curve. What I need to know is how do I go about setting up a training session here in my office? How much will it cost me? How soon can we set this up? Will you Fly to my location?
	My middle mouse button does not bring up the osnaps – how can I fix this?
	Without going through the Lot/house design menus...is there a way that one can just sit one house on one lot without setting up house templates etc..?
	We have an older pen plotter. I have setup the pen types to match the carousel etc...and things do plot, howeverm the pens I thought it would use didn't. I'm not sure I've set the widths correctl. Would the widths in the plotter configuration match the pen type I'm using? i.e. We generally plot with 4 pens 0.25, 0.35, 0.5, and 0.7, so, for instance I would like to draw the bearing text with a .35 pen. I set the color red (in this case) to be 0.35 pixel width? Is this correct?
