1. move.cde
   Move and copy point,line,arc(circle),polygon,polyline and spline.
   Conic is not supported yet.  This is only valid in R2 since Dialog is used.
   Check box for Color creates the entity with system default color.
   
2. rot.cde
   Rotate the entities same as above.
   No dialog is used. 

3. mirror.cde
   Mirror the entities same as above.
   This is only valid in R2 since Dialog is used.

4. spl.cde
   Create the spline with the natural ends having the sequential points sorted.
   The axis or the first and the second point is indicated for sorting points.  

5. spllen.cde
   Get the curve length of the spline
   
6. splpt.cde
   Create new point on the spline with the curve length from the point specified.

7. splptln.cde
   Compute curve length between any two points on the spline.
   
8. splproj.cde
   Project the spline onto the present view with the specified depth value.

9. chkang.cde
   Calculate angle between the tangent vector on the spline and the line set as
   the pattern file on the specified point of the spline. 

10. deldbpt.cde
   Delete the points overlayed on the same location.
   
11. lntospl.cde
   Convert the continuous lines such as NC data to a spline.
   It does not make any fillet curve between the adjacent lines. 
   The number of lines should not execeed 200 for single spline.

12. offspllen.cde
   Creating new spline with the offset so that the length of the new one is 
   longer/shorter than the old one with the value specified.

13. setptn.cde
   Setting the pattern file onto the point of the spline of which tangent vector
   makes the specified angle with the pattern shape.
   
14. ln_spl.cde 
   Convert the continuous lines such as NC data to a spline.
   This makes specified fillet curve between lines. 
   The number of lines should not execeed 66 for single spline since fillet
   curve increases two segments between the adjacent lines.
       
15. pt_spl.cde
   Create line with the minimum distance from the point to the spline.
 
16. vpt_spl.cde
   Same as above except in view mode.
   This can be used for drawing perpendicular line to 3D spline.

17. arrgpt.cde
   Create spline with natural ends from the points which has the minimun
   distance between the adjacent points.
   This is useful to create spline from point crowd data such as digitized.

18. lsm.cde
   Interpolate the points and create the smooth spline by Least Square Method.
   All points should be sequentially ceated.
   Use spl.cde for sorting points.
   
   
Utilities

1. Faro2ck.cde (Limited)
   Create Cadkey entities from XYZ coordinate from FARO's digitizer
   with 19200 bau rate. Only Point and line are valid for creation. 

2. Ncabs.cde (Limited)
   Convert absolute G code data for Funuc NC to Cadkey entity.
   3000 lines of data are valid for conversion.

3. Msrb2ck.cde (Limited)
   Create Cadkey entities from XYZ coordinate from Microscribe digitizer
   with 19200 bau rate. Only Point and line are valid for creation.

To use CDE file comfortably, use CDL and you need not open and close CDE.
After copying CDE files into Cadkey's CDE directory, run CDL file.
Here is a sample CDL program.
