Getting the Most Out of this Guide |
|
To get the most out of this guide, we suggest that you
start reading and performing the step-by-step
Getting Started tutorial. This tutorial shows you how to define and
connect electrical devices. Once you have finished, you should move on to the User Tasks section, which deals with handling all the product functions. The Workbench Description section, which describes the Electrical Wire Routing workbench, and the Customizing section, which explains how to set up the options, will also certainly prove useful. Navigating in the Split View mode is recommended. This mode offers a framed layout allowing direct access from the table of contents to the information. |
