Bob,



I bought one of the "cheap" copies of Turbo CAD 10.2 and it opens the Zxx

files just fine.  Problem is, I can't seem to find any of the tutorials on

their web site.  I suspect they pull them after some number of newer

versions are released.  I'm sure a policy designed to sell more upgrades.



I recently took a little intro CAD course at the local junior college but

they were using AutoCAD 2008.  Little similarity I am afraid (no command

line in TC) so was looking for some way to learn TC without printing out the

400 plus page pdf document on the CDROM.



Amy suggestions on learning TC 10.2 other than to just tough it out?



At any rate, thanks for all the wonderful information and drawings.

Couldn't do this wiring thing without it.



Thanks again,



Allen Fulmer

   Go to a Borders or similar bookstore and look through the

   technical how-to books. It will be a "Turbo-CAD for Dummies"

   by a third party author. Then search for instructions on the

   use of these commands:



AR,        *ARRAY

B,         *BLOCK

WB,        *WRITEBLOCK

BR,        *BREAK

CI,        *CIRCLE

C,         *CHANGE

CH,        *CHAMFER

CO,        *COPY

D,         *DIMSTYLE

DI,        *DIST

DO,        *DONUT

DT,        *DTEXT

E,         *ERASE

ED,        *DDEDIT

EL,        *ELLIPSE

XT,        *EXTEND

EXIT,      *QUIT

F,         *FILLET

H,         *HATCH

I,         *INSERT

IP,        *ISOPLANE

L,         *LINE

LA,        *LAYER

LI,        *LIST

LT,        *LINETYPE

M,         *MOVE

MI,        *MIRROR

OF,        *OFFSET

OS,        *OSNAP

P,         *PAN

PE,        *PEDIT

PL,        *PLINE

PG,       *POLYGON

P,        *PAN

R,         *REDRAW

RG,        *REGEN

RT,       *RECTANGLE

REN        *RENAME

RO,        *ROTATE

S,         *STRETCH

SC,        *SCALE

SCR,       *SCRIPT

XP,         *EXPLODE

Z,         *ZOOM



    This is a list of my one and two-stroke command contractions

    for AutoCAD. This list covers 95% of everything I ask AutoCAD

    to do in my almost daily use for 20+ years. AutoCAD (and TurboCAD)

    will do MUCH more but these activities let me produce all of the

    illustrations for the 'Connection (and for my clients). Get

    up to speed on the same functions in TurboCAD and you can do

    just about everything I do.



    Some TurboCAD packages come with tutorials. See:



http://www.cadandgraphics.com/tcdlx15.html?gclid=CP6Bm7iI8JMCFQabnAodTgNIWQ



    Here are some turbocad tutorials. Perhaps not "up to date"

    with your version but the list I gave you above is the

    most rudimenatry of CAD functions . . . probably good for

    any version mix of books and software.
