TurboCADables

This page lists a number of reference materials focused on TurboCAD. Except for a book or two, there just aren't very many reference materials devoted to TurboCAD. One worthwhile option is to instead rely on 2D and 3D training guides. These guides explain the most commonly used TurboCAD keyboard commands and shortcuts, as well as providing insight into using advanced techniques and procedures. Another source of information explaining techniques and procedures is the TurboCAD user group – members' posts on the message board represent a reference knowledgebase. Finally, available as a reference guide, is a tutorial that explains how to create custom hatch patterns for use in legacy versions of TurboCAD.

Creating TurboCAD Hatch Patterns

This guide describes how to create, modify, or add custom hatch patterns for use in legacy versions of TurboCAD v3 to v9 including LE.

These patterns are commonly used to denote a specific property or material – glass, wood, etc. A common question asked by many users of TurboCAD is whether or not it possible to use custom hatch patterns in TurboCAD. The answer is yes…
