CATEGORY Section
The Category section is a collection of Part Templates. The necessary items are a beginning, a name, tem-
plates, and an end. CATEGORY marks the beginning of a Category section, and END CATEGORY marks the
end. All of the templates that appear between the beginning and the end of a category belong to that category.
NAME (your category name) should be the first line in the category section. The entered name will appear in
the list of Visual Quick Code categories (this list appears when Visual Quick Code is first started).

Part TEMPLATE Section
The Part TEMPLATE section specifies all the information about a typical part. This includes an illustration of
the part and what variables can be entered to machine the part.
DIAGRAM Section
The DIAGRAM section is the part of the program that creates the part illustration on the screen. The illustration
can be drawn with lines, arcs, and jagged lines that represent threads. This drawing is both for the thumbnail
sketch and the full-sized illustration. The labels that appear on the full-sized version of the part are specified in
the PARAMETERS section (see Parameters description).
