I have a program which draws a part based on user inputs

What i need to do is start a new drawing when the draw button is toggled

right now you have to start a new drawing before running the program

any ideas ?

thanks in advance

Recommended for you

in the first part of your program (after keying in the inputs, place some code to have it open a new drawing, then load the inputs. This all depends on the language in which the program was built upon, but generally speaking, Visual Basic, and even Lisp routines run on a sequential method (FIFO - First in first out). C++ and all variances thereof are more of a random method (more powerful, but a bit more complex in the design of the application).

Hope this helps
