This is an application based on dialogue boxes that are presented on a main menu comprised of a series of buttons that enable you to access the program’s different options either directly or through other menus.
To exit a dialogue box, click either the OK or Cancel buttons. These appear on the upper right hand side of the screen. The OK button appears with the same name and the Cancel button appears with an “X” sign. In the Pocket PC version, the latter could appear as Cancel within the dialogue box. Use the Cancel button to exit the dialogue box without accepting any changes or without taking account of any calculations that may have been made. Click the OK button otherwise.
The measurement units for the application’s data are as follows:

When starting the application, a window showing information about the program’s version, sub-version and review number appears.
A window then opens asking you to indicate the task with which the application is to be started:
Last Project: This option selects the project worked on in the last session. When the application is started for the first time or when the program’s initial configuration is restored, it appears as deactivated.
Select Project: Use this option to select a previously created project.
New Project: Use this option to create a new project.
Once you have selected the working project, the application’s main menu is displayed. Each of the options that comprise it are described below.
