1.1 General Description

Archimedes Geo3D is a software for dynamic geometry in three dimensions (DGS or DRGS) with the following basic features:

• Dragging: Free objects can be dragged, the rest of the construction changes accordingly.
• Loci (lines and surfaces): The movement of points can be traced and made visible as a locus-line or a locus surface.
• Macros: Commonly used constructions can be saved as macros. Macros (own and predifined) can be accessed through the macro-menu, enabling the user to add functionality to Archimedes Geo3D.
• Expressions: In addition to the usual computations with numbers, Archimedes is capable of vector-calculus.

The difference to well-known DGS like Geometers Sketchpad, Euklid, Cinderella or KSEG is, that Archimedes Geo3D works in three dimensions!

If you are already familiar with one of those or similar programs, Archimedes Geo3D will be easy to learn.
