This section contains CAD encompassing needed theoretical information to set the keys (=setting options) and on the other hand exemplifying examples. Before changing any settings you should have read both the CAD encompassing information and the CAD specific information.

CAD specific information can be found under Section 2.3, “CAD specific information”. Via link of the following list you can directly jump to the desired CAD system. Here you will find more comprehensive information on some blocks and keys. Basic comments are found in the configuration files itself.
