All graphical representations are made in diagrams that are automatically scaled according to displayed objects. All diagrams have a popup menu (right click on empty diagram area) with basic functions. Alternatively you can use the buttons on the left side of the diagram:

 

 

If the mouse cursor is moved over a graphical object (e.g. polyline, Bezier point) then this is highlighted by color or by increased line width. Right mouse click is now related to this object and does open a special popup menu or a small dialog window for data input.

 

Bezier splines are used for geometrical contours by default. This continuous polylines are described by the position of a few Bezier points. Therefore a simple modification of the curve is possible but on the other hand the numerical representation of the curve is accurate.

 

 

 

One or two coordinate values can be entered in dependence of geometrical boundary conditions. As a rule these values are normalized relative values describing the position of the point between extreme values left or bottom (0) and right or top (1). Normalized relative coordinates are giving the advantageous possibility of an automatic update of the entire design if a parameter is modified.

 

Coordinates of mouse cursor are displayed in format x:y bottom left in the status bar.

Position and size of dialogs are saved to restore it in the same way when they are called again.

If CFturbo generates primary design automatically you may see Initial design on the top right of the diagram.

 

If numerical values are entered in tables, then a new value is only activated and the diagram is updated if the <Enter> key is pressed or a new cell of the table is selected.
