The Library Window within hsCADCreator is designed to be a simple and powerful tool.  Installed by default is a robust library of common architectural drawing items, furniture, appliances, general shapes, and much more.  You may simply click and drag a desired item from this window directly onto your drawing. 

 

 

By default within the Basic Layout the Library Window is docked on the left side of the screen and has the "All" category Selected.

 

 

Using the Library Window/Bar

       

To use the window bar move the mouse over the top of the preview item you wish to add to the drawing.  Click and hold down the left mouse button on the selection.  In the image below we are selecting "Fan Ceiling 3".  As you can see when you drag the item you will have a cursor representation of that item. 

 

 

Once you reach the drawing space the cursor representation will turn into the actual representation of the item being added to the drawing. 

 

 

Simply release the Left mouse when it is in the desired location and a block item will have been quickly added to your drawing. 

 

 

Finding Library Items

 

The Library Window has a generic text search capabilities.  To quickly find an item type in the what you are looking for within the category combo box.  For instance type in "win" and all the "Window" items will be within the preview portion as seen in the image below.

 

 

It is simple to change the category of items displayed within the Library Window.  Click on the category drop down arrow and choose a category from the list.  After the category is chosen the preview list will be updated with that category's items.   Seen below is changing the category from "Fans" to "Showers".
