Creating A Drawing

If you are using Linux, I'm going to assume you know your way around the terminal. The above screenshot shows changing to the directory 2d in the home folder, creating a directory called test in 2d and then creates and opens a Project [SONICO] file called 1.soni in the ~/2d/test directory. I wouldn't normally do things like that but please bear with me for the sake of demonstration.

In other words, creating and opening a Project [SONICO] file in your home directory is done like this:
sonico ~/directory/name-of-file

Or if you have not installed it, this will create and open a file called 1.soni in your home directory:
./where-sonico-root-directory-is/sonico-root-directory/build/sonico ~/1.soni

You can always save to wherever you like and name it to whatever you like.

Opening a Project [SONICO] file is done the same way as creating the file:
sonico ~/directory/name-of-file

Or for those who have not installed it:
./where-sonico-root-directory-is/sonico-root-directory/build/sonico ~/directory/name-of-file

Please note that naming a file without a dot will export to a BMP that has the same name as exporting the file name with a dot. For example, 1.soni and 1 will both export to 1.bmp...
