    This feature is not available in GuideSIGN SIGMA.

    A tutorial is an ASCII text file which can be easily edited with Microsoft® Notepad or any other text editor. The first line in the tutorial is the name of the drawing file to be opened when the tutorial is played. Each successive section of the file is the next step the user will follow. The section begins with the step number, contains the tool name required by the user to click, a brief instruction the user is to follow, and/or a point required by the user to click. The end of a section is designated with the terminator ‘END’.

    Below is an excerpt of the Diagrammatic 1 Sign Example tutorial:
