Chapter 1
Getting Started
Quick Start
This section provides a basic understanding of Vehicle Sketch Pad (VSP), and is
intended to give a rudimentary understanding of how to use the program. Users are
advised to read the manual in its entirety to gain a more complete understanding of VSP.
Note:
The
Glossary
(pg. 80) provided at the end of this document is
available to clarify any confusing terms.
Things to Know
File Extension
Vehicle Sketch Pad uses the .XML extension for its files. VSP can read .RAM files,
however the .XML extension should be used if files are to be edited.
Saving Files
Figure 1: Save options under the File Menu
When a new file is created, the
Save As
command should be used for the first
save. If a new file is saved with the
Save
command rather than the
Save As
command, it
will save as “VspAircraft.XML” in the directory of the vsp.exe program. After doing the
first save as, every successive
Save
will save the file under the name specified by the
user. Also, as with many other programs, users are highly encouraged to save their work
often.
