How do you guys in today's video, we're gonna be looking at fabric camps user interface. But before that, let's have a quick intro first. So today's video can be found on softwaretraining.co.za z We make sure and easy to watch problem solving videos. And we also have daily updates otherwise spread back in the programme here. Now, just so you guys know this is going to be many serious on the user interface and it will be mostly overview. So we just get familiar with what is where, then, in a future miniseries, we're gonna go through every single section and, uh, how to use, but yeah, otherwise, back to this. So now this might be the first time you've started the programme because in the previous miniseries, we looked at installing and all of those things. Now that we're actually in the programme, we can start getting our hands dirty. But like I always recommend before you start a programme first, try at least understand the user interface. Otherwise you're gonna get very lost and frustrated. So now this is also just a disclaimer. It's normally the tedious part because it feels like you just wanna start creating Now I'm gonna throw in some practical in between. Some of these serious is just so you get to that. But this is very important, this part of understanding the programme. So now if we're in the programme uses a few different sections we can isolate now in the actual documentation. There's not a lot of, uh so as to what these panels are called, so we're going to kind of just make them up for the sake of the tutorials. So when you guys follow along, you have a good idea of what we're talking about. So now, first of all, we have our main menu on top here. Now most programmes have these. So this is a lot of the stuff you see on screen. You can get under these menus, but also there's normally extra stuff under these menus, which you won't find here so or your more advanced settings. And so so the top one year will be calling your main menu, and then each one is a different sub menus within your main menu to do different things. Like as you guys can remember from the previous one We went to the belt and the help just to see what version number we are running. Then normally I would call these toolbars. But because of the nature of this programme, it's not quite two bars, but we might still call it too was for the sake of simplicity. So the top one year, the big one with the big icons that we will be calling your main toolbar. So basically a lot of the things you find on the file you'll be finding over here with some extra things. This is obviously where you can open a cad or show. So go to the cad. Then you can, um, starting your sheets here, open files. You can do all your parts and what were you getting them and then save, which is a very important one. We've got different. We've got some preview options, configuration and so forth. We can also close the application yet, which is not something you see often. Then, um, under that, we've got a secondary toolbar. So this is for operating these widgets and so forth. Then you can move, rotate them and so forth. And then also very important to point out, is that undo and redo buttons so they are located under your secondary toolbar. Then on the left Here, we've got your imported parts. So if you make any parts, you've got a preview and the pot listed then under that, we've got some sheets. So this will be your sheets and some information about that into the right. We've got a preview three d preview of what's busy happening. So this is your actual sheet where the parts are located and so forth. But yeah, so that is it on the overview of user interface. So also, to point out which is useful, as you can see, coordinates here on the bottom, Right. As we move the mouse around, you can see coordinates, so there's gonna be a help. Can help a lot while you're designing, but yeah, otherwise, that's it. On the overview in the next video, we're gonna be running through some of these sections individually. And like I said, it might be a bit tedious, but it is quite important to cover all of these areas, but yeah, otherwise, in the meanwhile, if we head here to softwaretraining.co.za z, you guys will notice We've got a variety of different Softwares we do cover. And you can also isolate your search on the top. Right? If you do not, however, find the training videos you're looking forward. Just something So yeah, request the training video, filling the form. And then we will do our basic try and make that for you. Well, until next video. Thanks, guys. And cheers.
