Description of the screen drawing options:

Drawing construction:

Indicates which parts of the construction must be drawn on the work screen:

 *        Supports. If active, the supports are shown as symbols.
 *        Rod numbers. If active, the bar numbers are shown in the bars.
 *        Profile views. If active, the profiles are drawn as shown in the profile file. (See Ln1x,Ln2x etc in the profile file)
          If not active the bar is shown by a line.
 *        Forces. If active, the vectors and force number of the forces and/or moments are drawn.
          The scale of the vector may be changed under drawing scales.
*         Equal Load. If active, equal loads are drawn. The scale of the vector may be changed under drawing scales.

Calculation results:

Indicates which calculation results should be shown on screen.
*        Tension. If active, the tensions will be shown in colours after the calculations. The scale of which can be
         compared with the table which is drawn after the calculations.
*        Movement. If active, movement is shown by a yellow line on the construction. This movement can by shown
         enlarged. The enlargement factor may be changed under drawing scales.
