Defaults
TC Explorer
Most of the defaults that are standard in TurboCAD, such as the colour surround in PaperSpace, you probably don’t care about. However, others such as the text defaulting to Times New Roman are a bit annoying.
These defaults can be changed in TC Explorer, which can be found by following the path:
Tools – Customise – Pallets – TC Explorer
There’s a huge amount of ‘stuff’ here, most unintelligible to most of us, but it’s worth spending a few minutes looking through to see if there is anything obvious you’d like to change.

Copy In Place
This can be a useful tool that is not where you’d expect to find it. Below is where you can find it in Platinum versions 2018 and 2019 as well as Deluxe versions.
In Platinum versions it can also be found under SDK – Selection.
Select the object to copy first, then the tool.

Don’s Textual Creations
Don Cheke is a world authority on TurboCAD, he was a huge help when I was learning TurboCAD especially when it came to 3D, which was a complete mystery until I spent a few days with Don. (He has a lot of patience).
Don’s tutorials are extremely good, they take you through exercises very slowly and carefully leading you by the hand and never presuming prior knowledge.
Also on Don’s site you will find quick tips and a gallery that shows you just what can be achieved with TurboCAD.
Have a look – you will certainly learn something.
