Likewise if it does not have A sizes you should be able to create a custom size and save it. Not familiar with TC but in Alibre you can set the drawing scale to whatever you like and even set different scales for each part with a couple of simple clicks. Yes, in real world size - so it ate a complete roll of fax paper and the roll he replaced it with before he figured how to clear the buffer. Many years ago with turbocad 2 or 3 I redrew my architect's drawings with suggested changes and sent them to his fax machine late one evening. I don't use turbocad regularly enough to have answers - when i do use it I have to fiddle about to remember stuff. This is just as well: workshop drawings need to be orthogonal, and the 3D mode is beyond me! What I do like about TurboCAD is it allows you to draw in two dimensions directly, unlike Fusion and Alibre. It also has multiple printer menus, some lacking ISO- 'A' paper sizes. So you can draw very small components, but I can't see any way to print them enlarged by definite scales with correct dimensions. It allows scales from 1:1 up, as its Users' Forum gallery shows with exquisitely-rendered pictures of big things, but not vice-versa. I have to format everything individually.įor printing I just copy and paste the drawing, reducing it as necessary but there is a peculiarity with TurboCAD's scaling system. I think Layers allow advance formatting of different line-types, dimension styles etc., and DAG Brown's CAD primer (in the Workshop Practice series) suggests using them to repeat sub-assemblies from place to place. Progress to the point I can now produce orthogonal drawings adequate for my own workshop use, though there are still areas beyond me, like Layers and TurboCAD's complicated 'Viewport' for transferring drawings from their 'Model Space' to 'Paper Space' for printing.
