GMS:Tutorials

From XMS Wiki - http://wikis.aquaveo.com/xms/

A rich set of step-by-step tutorials has been developed to aid in learning how to use GMS. If this is your first time using GMS it is highly recommended that you look through the Quick Tour first before doing the tutorials.

The tutorials are in PDF format. They are installed in the "docs" or "tutfiles" directory in the folder where GMS is installed. They can also be accessed by clicking on the links below.

The tutorials are listed below by subject and are not necessarily listed in the suggested order of completion. Some tutorials assume a basic knowledge of GMS and some build on other tutorials. When this is the case the tutorial itself will state which tutorials you should complete beforehand.

Many of the tutorials have files that are needed to run the tutorial. These files can be found in the "tutfiles" folder where GMS was installed, or can be downloaded here.
