2) If the devices are properly connected, and no pocket sketches have been created with
PlusDraw or Pocket Apex™, the Drawing View (TAB A as explained in the previous section) will
be displayed. You are ready to begin drawing an Area. However, if a sketch was previously
saved, every time the two devices are connected and PlusDraw is opened, the Document List will
display (

View will display.

Before placing a line (when
it is red in color), the line length
can be quickly changed by
adding or subtracting
measurements taken with the
DISTO. For example, if you
have measured an 8 meter line
to the right and the line is still
red, you can measure 3 meters
to the left, and the resulting line
will be 5 meters in length.
