About three new tutorials added to this release

Tutorial 1:
In this tutorial, the Show Wire Sequence tool is used to trace the wire sequence of one of the wire networks in a drawing. Next the wire sequence of this wire network is edited using the Edit Wire Sequence tool, refer to Figures 1 and 2.

Tutorial 2:
In this tutorial a user-circuit is inserted into a drawing and then the circuit is saved as a wblocked circuit, and then the wblocked circuit is inserted into another drawing, refer to Figure 3.

Tutorial 3:
In this tutorial, a new block is created with attributes defined in it. Next, a template is created using this block. A new drawing is created using this template and then the title block is set up using method 1 and the title block is updated for the new drawing, refer to Figure 4.
