Problems with TurboCAD
In very rare occasions TurboCAD misbehaves. The standard cure for this is a simple Default.
Tools menu – work space – customize – options tab – click “Default” This fixes the problem 99% of the time.
In very rare circumstances, the configuration INI files may become corrupted causing loss of functionality, and no amount of customizing will restore them. To fix this problem, the standard procedure is to force TurboCAD to reconstruct the “Built-in” folder by deleting it. This will restore most TurboCAD settings to those found in a brand new installation.
Close TurboCAD
Window Key + R
type %APPDATA%
click OK and navigate the “IMSIDesign” folder
drill down until you get to the “Profiles” folder, similar to this path,
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\IMSIDesign\TurboCAD 2021\Platinum (or Pro, Deluxe, Designer) x64\Profiles
open the “Profiles” folder to see the “Built-in” folder
Delete the “Built-in” folder
Restart TurboCAD

AVG anti-virus
Occasionally I have a customer who has trouble loading TC when they have AVG security on their computer. The advice to overcome this from a trusted technician at the publisher’s is below.
The customer should be able to disable AVG temporarily during the install of TurboCAD.
Uninstall – reboot – disable AVG – reinstall
Usually works for my customers
Odd that some people use a third party AV when Windows 10 has a VERY GOOD built in anti-virus.
