Tutorial #1 - Working with Layers and Backgrounds
This tutorial will show you how to scale a background image,
like a section map, and how to place multiple plots (layers)
within the background picture.
Tutorial #5 - Working with Sections and Layers
This tutorial will show you how to create a section drawing and position a
plot within it.
Tutorial #6 - Working with Multiple Sections
This tutorial will show you how to create a drawing with multiple sections and
how to position plots within those sections. While tutorials

background pictures to represent section information, this tutorial uses
layers to create section information.
GPS (Lat/Long):
Tutorial #2 - Working with Lat/Long Waypoints
This tutorial will show you how to mark a latitude/longitude

Tutorial #3 -
Attaching Labels to a Layer
This tutorial will show you how to attach labels to a layer.
Unlike the drawing labels, layer labels will move along with a layer if
the layer is moved and will stay in position relative to the lines if the
drawing's scale is changed.
Note: The functionality in this tutorial is now more easily accomplished by using the Layer Captions and Labels form found on the Layers tab of the main screen. This tutorial is still included because by walking through it you may find additional uses for the X,Y Waypoints feature.
Tutorial #4 -
Estimating Layer Overlap
This tutorial will show you how to estimate the area of two
overlapping layers.
In the process of finding the area of the overlap, we will also create a new
layer of the overlap.
