You will be referring to the Design program window.

Program Title bar: the Program Title bar displays the name of the drawing currently open (if it displays ‘Untitled Drawing…’, the drawing has not been saved to a file)
Pull-Down Menus: Many of the settings and controls are accessed through the Pull-down Menus.
Visibility Toggles: the Visibility Toggles control the visibility of the Button and Toggle Bars, and the DynaScape Sidebar folder
Prompt Line: the Prompt Line displays messages from the program about what type of action or input is required from you to perform a command.
Top Button Bar: the Top Button Bar activates the New, Existing, Save and Print Drawing commands, the Copy, Cut and Paste commands, the Delete and Repaint tools and all the Zoom commands.
Toggle Bar: the Toggle Bar activates the various Toolboxes, toggles the Constraints and Copy commands, the line Fill and Ends tools, as well as toggle the drawing Limit and Origin.
DynaScape Sidebar Folder: this is the heart of the DynaScape program and is the folder which will be displayed most often as you draw. The DynaScape folder is divided into four different areas (in yellow on the screen): Commands (command icons), Labeling (labeling controls), Related Tasks (material list, schedules) and the fourth area called Controls, which changes its name depending on which icon is active beneath it (for example, between Layers/ Styles/Weights, etc.).
Figures Sidebar Folder: the Figures Sidebar Folder controls all of the currently active predrafted symbols (called figures) in DynaScape. Figures automatically assume their proper layer and size relative to the drawing scale when they are inserted into a drawing. Although using the default settings assigned to a figure makes drafting quicker, you can change any of the default settings of a figure while you insert it into a drawing (i.e. Scale, Rotation, Width and Height).
Favorites Sidebar Folder: the Favorites Sidebar Folder is a place for all the symbols you have chosen as favorites (accomplished by right-clicking on a library figure in the Figures Sidebar Folder and selecting ‘Add to Favorites’).
Imaging Sidebar Folder: the Imaging Sidebar Folder is home to all the controls related to adding images to your drawing. Images can be photo-graphs of landscapes you have in your collection, images of plants from our on-line plant encyclopedia, property surveys, logos, etc.: almost any image file format (JPG, BMP) can be brought into DynaScape.
Tables/Modes Settings: the Tables/Modes List displays the lists of Layers, Line Styles, Line Thicknesses, Fonts, Colors and Modes as the buttons for each is selected.
CLI: the Command Line Interpreter (CLI) is a text-based interface, or communication channel. It provides a textual record of any command you enter in creating a drawing, including information you were required to enter, as well as DynaScape command prompts. All tasks that you perform are recorded by the CLI, even if you use panels, buttons, or the mouse to initiate them. Understanding the CLI operation simplifies your overall drawing operations, and enables you to use some more advanced DynaScape features.
