Conventions Used in this Guide
Please take a moment to review how instructions and other
useful information are presented in this guide.
• Procedures are presented as numbered lists. A single bul-
let indicates that the procedure has only one step.
• Bold type is used for the following:
- Keyboard entries that should be typed in their entirety
exactly as shown. For example, “copy file1” means to
type the word copy, to type a space, and then to type
file1.
- On-screen prompts and messages, names of options and
text boxes, and menu commands. Menu commands are
often separated by carats. For example, click Simplorer
Circuit>Add Subcircuit>Add RMxprt Design.
- Labeled keys on the computer keyboard. For example,
“Press Enter” means to press the key labeled Enter.
• Italic type is used for the following:
- Emphasis.
- The titles of publications.
- Keyboard entries when a name or a variable must be
typed in place of the words in italics. For example,
“copy file name” means to type the word copy, to type
a space, and then to type a file name.
• The plus sign (+) is used between keyboard keys to indi-
cate that you should press the keys at the same time. For
example, “Press Shift+F1” means to press the Shift key
and the F1 key at the same time.
• Toolbar buttons serve as shortcuts for executing com-
mands. Toolbar buttons are displayed after the command
they execute. For example,
“On the Draw>Primitive menu, click Line ” means
that you can click the Draw Line toolbar button to exe-
cute the Draw>Primitive>Line command.
