Editor overview

Main areas#

The editor consists of a workspace with controls around it. The exact buttons you see depend on your project state and selected workflow.

Important areas are:

• The ribbon with project, drawing, and installation actions.
• The canvas where you place walls, objects, and symbols.
• Dialogs for settings, projects, title blocks, distribution boards, and exports.
• Status and help messages that show which action is active.

Project context#

Many actions need an open project. If no project is active, create or open one before drawing or saving objects.

Dialogs#

OhmCAD uses dialogs for focused tasks such as creating a project, creating a situation, editing board data, or exporting. Complete the required fields and confirm explicitly.

Help#

Ohmie can show short help or explanations in the editor. This help supports the workflow and does not replace checking your project data.
