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.

New TurboCAD Training
The site has now gone through another development. I have taken off a couple of products which have not turned out to have been popular and put on a couple of new products which I think will be very useful for all CAD users.
You now have the option to buy the PC software on a USB stick which also includes 12 training films with the Deluxe version and 15 with the Pro Platinum version.
Also, I now have a USB stick with 37 new training films on that I have made using v2015. These cost £37, a pound for each film. Details of it’s contents are below. If you’d like to purchase please click here.

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.

Smooth Curves in TurboCAD
Occasionally I have people having problems sending curved lines as DXF files to milling machines. The problem is that the curves turn into lots of straight lines, rather than a smooth one. The link below should solve this.
