1. Drawing Selection Window
Project drawings are prepared in the Drawing Selection window. The window is opened with the Çizim (Drawing) button on the top bar, the commands in the Drawing menu (Prepare Selective Project Drawing, Alt+C) or the Create Drawing icon on the start screen.

The generated sheets open in the AutoCAD-like StatiCAD-TechnicDraw drawing editor (the window title is StatiCAD-CivilDraw). The menus of the editor are in English (File, Edit, View, Format, Draw, Dimension, Modify, Tools, Osnap, TIN). There is a properties panel on the left, the SNAP, GRID, ORTHO, POLAR, OSNAP, LWT and SETTINGS switches and the Command: line at the bottom, and the Model Menu / Import Toolbar panel on the right.
