DROEGE (Design Robot for Origination of Exacting Graphic Engineering)
was created for designing printed circuit photomasters.

DROEGE is a manual CAD system, which means it has no automatic
functions such as schematic capture, wire listing, routing, parts
lists, etc. It does provide the computer-aided equivalent of a taped
master or drawing board with the advantage of always having things in
perfect registration and the ability to work on selected layers.

General features include a 65" x 65" working area, twelve layers deep,
with a resolution of 0.001". The output can be scaled, however, so
what is actually provided is a 65,000 X 65,000 point working space.
Layers can be turned on and off and assigned any available color.
Lines, pads, symbols, arcs and labels can be entered. The symbol
feature is particularly powerful since symbols can be nested up to
twenty levels deep, allowing the construction of very complex objects
with a few keystrokes.

Note: This program has a limited documentation file, so it will be
very helpful if you have prior experience with CAD systems and with
designing printed circuit boards.

DROEGE--Design Robot for Origination of Exacting Graphic
Engineering--was created for designing printed circuit photomasters.  It
is a manual CAD system, which means it does nothing automatically, such
as schematic capture, wire listing, routing, parts lists, etc.  DROEGE
does provide a computer-aided equivalent of a taped master or drawing
board with the advantage that things are always in perfect registration
and one can work on selected layers.
 
General features are a 65" x 65" working area twelve layers deep.
Resolution over this area is 0.001".  The output can be scaled to
anything, however, so what is really provided is a 65,000 X 65,000 point
working space.  The layers can be turned on and off and assigned to any
available color.  Lines, Pads (something a photoplotter can do--a small
object drawn all at once), Symbols (a named collection of other
objects), Arcs, and Labels can be entered.  The Symbol feature is
particularly powerful since Symbols can be nested within Symbols to as
many as twenty levels, allowing construction of very complex objects
with a few keystrokes.
 
You will also need disk #905 to run this program.
 
Usage:  Manual PC Board Layout
 
System Requirements:  Operation requires CGA adapter and 320K memory.
Optional Epson printer.
