Claris CAD & MacDraw: Symbol Libraries Available

A library allows fast access to standard drawings and objects stored within the application. You avoid repetitive work in the design process and speed up the retrieval time considerably. Combined with the rescaling and clipboard modification features, you need to create an object once and it can be modified for each different ruler scale.
