Tutorial 1.1 - The HydrauliCAD Toolbars - Video
HydrauliCAD installs 2 Toolbars.

Note: You may notice slightly different toolbars in some Videos or pictures. There are no conflicting items, merely the addition of several icons.

The new ones contain Icons for ALL Commands, eliminating the need for Menu Commands in current HydrauliCAD.

Below is the final Toolbars as they are in the current updatedHydrauliCAD,.

The Main Toolbar

contains Run Analysis, the Hydraulic Objects to placed in the drawing and other Icons such as About, Activate HydrauliCAD, the User Guide etc.
Note: On 64 Bit Operating Systems, the included batch file must be run for User Guide Videos to run until Abobe Flash provides 64 Bit operation.

Run Analysis and Network Integrity Check:

1. Run Static Analysis (Checking only recent changes to the network)
2. Network Check From Scratch (Checks Integrity of ALL Objects whether new or old)


 

The Secondary Toolbar

contains Dynamic Time Step controls and several Icons for such Tools as Show HydrauliCAD Palette, Show Properties Palette, Hydraulic Object Match Properties, HydrauliCAD Quick Select (Hydraulic Object Query Tool), Get Elevations Tool, and Import / Export an EPANET .inp file.

(Try out the Icons in Dwg 1 to get a feel for the many areas of HydrauliCAD)
