Snaps are essential to fast and accurate drawing. Disconnect the regular ones and use keyboard shortcuts. For more information, please visit www.paulthecad....
@cammnut Thanks, I know how dificult training books can be, they always seem to leave out that small fact that is so vital to know. Hope my films fill that gap. paul
Hi Paul, I don’t know whether you’re still advising on TurboCAD. Ive just got Turbocad deluxe after working in AutoCAD for many years. I think I must have made an adjustment to the snap settings as I cannot get the snap to work. I have drawn a single line on a new drawing but cannot snap to the endpoint?? Any advice as to what I may be doing wrong? Many thanks Joe
Hi Paul - could you pls clarify how to activate snap to grid, for all commands? I recently upgraded to TC Deluxe from an old (10.5) version. It took me hours to get snap to grid working, and i never knew precisely how i did it. Now it's not working again, and nothing i can see gets it to function. I used to have the same problem in v.10.5 - the snaps to grid function seems fragile and easily switched off accidentally.
I have a 2020 professional turbocad program however the snaps work in default but when i turn to lte work space they don't turn on can you help me please
But how do you take the corner of an existing drawing or structure and get it snapped to a Grid point? For example, drag and highlight, then pick part of the drawing that you want to sit on a Grid point/intersection. It's driving me mad. Snap to Grid, basically. But I move one component and the rest moves off the Grid. Why? It's like the drawing won't stay put while I am editing it. Stay on the Grid please !!!
How do you zoom in without moving away from the point you want to inspect? When I rotate my mouse wheel I zoom in, but lose the point, then have to search for it.
The position of the cursor when you are zooming defines where it zooms out from, or in to. So parking your cursor about in the middle of your object before you zoom, generally keeps the object on the same point on the screen as you zoom. If your object is starting to drift off the screen in one direction as you zoom in, move the cursor toward the edge of the screen in that direction while zooming in further. Play around moving the cursor as you zoom in and out and you will quickly get the hang of it.
So it defaults to ENGLISH units of measurement. Sorry its rare I bust chops like this, but if you are going to lay it at the feet of the United States, that's fine I mean there must be a ton of NON-United States written CAD applications out there for the choosing.

Thanks Paul - your series of tutorials is excellent - very clear and simply explained.
A great help, and good voice. Not the boring monotone that accompanies many tutorial videos. Thanks.
Excellent clear voice you have. Very intuitive of you to realize what beginners are seeing.
Very good Paul. I'm new to Cad and I was able to follow all the instructions
Quick and Concise. Nicely done.

You must understand snaps, they will speed up your drawing a great deal. After that look at just drawing lines and other simple stuff.

Joe
Thanks, that's what I aim for.
Paul
thank you for the explanation, answered a lot of my questions
Thanks
Paul
ALWAYS use snaps, it really speeds up your drawing.
Paul
That was super helpful thanks for the explanation

Really handy video. I have been trying to get a curvature on to a simple box and really struggling any chance of some help please.
Hi Paul: Re TurboCad: You have 52 clips posted here. Jut purchased TurboCad so where would you suggest I start? Thanks Ben
"The Americans" Haha. I'll still try my best.
