TurboCAD FAQ's

 

 

 

The following tips have been extracted from the TurboCAD Forum. The author of the thread is shown abbreviated although they may not be originator. Tips shown as originated from GM (the author) are edited from his own threads, TC Help, The Manual or other sources that may not be credited to one particular author and are listed to clarify other known difficulties.  Entries without an apparent originator are probably earlier entries.
The tips come as Questions, Answers, Comments and some are from the IMSI Help/Tip files.

Some threads have been edited to change the tip for general use rather that for a specific drawing problem. Could the original author please check these to ensure no meaning has been lost.
