Snap Angle in TurboCAD Professional and Deluxe
Snap Angle
As a default, by holding down the Shift Key you can restrict drawing a line to 90 degree increments. (Horizontal or Vertical). This also goes for rotating a rectangles, or other polygon etc. You can edit this 90 in the Angle dialogue box under OPTIONS – Angle, to jump to any number of degrees.
You’ll also note that you can change the base angle from where you start drawing from.

Computer Health Check
Virus Removal / Computer Clean
Even if you’re very careful, the best of us can pick up the odd virus. I’m lucky because the company has plenty of smart lads who can check my computer if seems to have slowed down, or does something I don’t think it should.
ProcessFlows has a computer check service that will link up remotely and check that your computer is healthy and all is as you’d hope.
The cost of this is £99, but I’ve done a deal with the company and my customers can get this service at half price, promo code PAULCAD50. You can book it on line, (link on the home page), or give them a call first on 0800 612 4814 to discuss.
It’s the sort of thing that’s a good idea to do once a year, at just over a pound a week to ensure that your computer is ‘healthy’, seems to me a good deal.

Loading the Mac version of TurboCAD
A few people have had a problem loading the Mac version of TC, it’s not quite so straight forward as the PC version, where you just more or less click on the download and say ‘Yes’ to everything.

The Drafting Pallett
The Drafting Pallet.
Available in Pro Platinum versions
The drafting pallet is a tool that automatically converts your 3D drawings into orthographic projections, with the added ability to show sections and what I used to know as ‘True Shape’, or a view by ‘view line’. The Drafting Pallet is found under TOOLS – Pallets – Drafting.

The latest version of TurboCAD has just been released in the UK
IMSI have now swapped to naming the versions after the year, which I think makes sense, as it will be clear to all just how old your version is.
So we now have version 2015.
