TurboCADables

Reference guides to using CAD software, with a focus on TurboCAD. There aren't very many books devoted to TurboCAD. One possibility is to discover the TurboCAD Training Guide. This guide explains many TurboCAD keyboard commands and shortcuts. 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 TurboCAD. The number of how-to tutorials are admittedly limited at present, but writing additional tutorials are a future project of mine!

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. TurboCAD, like most CAD software, has a hatching tool that fills polygons with a brush style pattern - either a hatch or bitmap pattern. These patterns are commonly used to denote a specific property or material - glass, wood, etc. This leads to a common question asked by many users of TurboCAD: is it possible to use custom hatch patterns in TurboCAD? The answer is yes…
