Nevermind...if I'd have spent the time looking at the menu items instead of writing the post I would have had it fixed. Sorry. Dave ... a ... material ... ...
I have several AutoCAD files which TC10 (deluxe) will not recognize and import. They may be from AutoCAD LT 95 or AutoCAD 10 (back from the old DOS days). Does...
... I have TC 10 Pro so I don't know if this will help or not. When you open the file from within TurboCAD, highlight the file you want to open and click the...
... I may not have been following this exact proceedure. I will try it and advise. Also, on a somewhat different topic, any idea how to set up TC to by- pass...
Just found a major advantage to TC10.2 over AC14! The slice tool works on surface meshes as well as solids! AC14's slice tool only works on solids. Also...
I tried a search of the messages and can't find any answers so excuse me if this has been addressed before. Is anyone familiar with the technique to bend or...
... Extrude a circle perpendicular to a path line. This is the only way I know but I'm new to TurboCAD. This just happens to be an old habit from Acad14. If...
Does anyone know of a way to subtract multiple 3D objects from others? Basically, I have an array of cylinders in a 12x12x1/4 box. The cylinders need to be...
Not with 3D boolean, but yes with 2D boolean. Go figure. So, for what you are describing, do it all 2D first, subtract the holes, then extrude to 1/4-inch. ...
Hope its OK to promote something that is free. We just put up a free online 2D and 3D parts library that supports TurboCAD file format. The library supports...

I've used TurboCad for a very short period of time and found it to be a very powerful tool. If I make 3d model changes, the symbols in assemblies do not...
Do not insert them as symbols, use Format | Create External Reference. This will create them in the block palette, but the xref will update when the original...
I wanted to clarify this a little. Symbols, Blocks, and External References are different sides of similar beasts. Symbols are entire groups of objects, if...
I don't have a good answer for you. I don't recommend buying more CAD programs just to test-open the files as that might be an expensive way to go. I know...

... I should have mentioned this in my previous reply. I've had excellent results using file converters. I've gotten by just by using demo versions but if...
Does TurboCAD have a "Bind Xref" feature similar to AutoCAD? This is basically the equivalent of exploding it into individual lines, blocks, etc. Thanks, Dave...
I think the answer is no, but a workaround has been mentioned before. I think if you save the assembly file in another format (dwg), it might do it. You might...

No, there is not inherent tool for this. Sizable shortcoming, IMO -- we've asked for it. To do it manually, insert the xref'ed file, make it into a block,...
I'm trying to teach myself how to draw in 3D using TurboCAD 10.2 Deluxe. I'm trying to draw a simple plate with bolt holes or slots. In 2D I would just draw a...
Well, that was and wasnt the solution. :) Actually, my shortcut was already pointing to TCW10 (no "P" as I have the deluxe version, not the pro version), but...
Hi all I am yet to buy TurboCad but i was just wanting to know what i have to do to be able to draw landscape designs. I have my own landscape company and i...
I am just now toying around with 3d. I am using tbcad 8.2 and am using the pully 2d and 3d lesson. The problem is when I draw a small circle and a large...
