I started with the "reference manual" but found too many problems and then found the manual for "dummies". I have used many different manuals in the past without any issues.
Ine the Dummies manual I started on Exercise 1(A$ Drawing Template) looking at the command line operation.
On page 40 it says to enter 'Clk TB: Line>Rectangle ** or on the CB: rec' I then pressed ENTER.
It replied with Unknown command. After a lot of playing around I discovered that it would not accept a SPACE. If I enabled a Line by Li it did the same. If I selected the Line function using the mouse, I could then use the command line to enter first point and then second point. I tried a rectangle and had the same results.
It appears there are many bugs and a lack of consistency between versions. I am using Version Version: 2.2.0-rc1
Compiler: GNU GCC 4.9.1
Compiled on: Feb 16 2018
Qt Version: 5.4.1
Boost Version: 1.53.0
System: Windows 11
Can someone direct me to a manual that actually works with Command Line? Or suggest another way to start learning this CAD program?
I have done CAD work about 10 years ago, but now they are becoming more complicated. I am quite ok with complexity, as long as the manuals are clear, precise and accurate for the version I am using.
Any help is appreciated.
