    Printing with TurboCAD

    Hi all,

    Why does TurboCAD print out my drawings larger than drawn? Like a 4.5" distance is printing at 4.7". Thanks

    Printing is very different than plotting. When printing, look at the properties in the printer control window. Look for a scale setting. My guess is you are set to 'Fit to paper size' and you should be set to 100%.
    Thanks

    Hi,

    Is anybody aware of a utility for converting the AutoCAD style 'stick' fonts that come with TurboCAD and AutoCAD? I would like to turn them into TrueType fonts for use with DeskEngrave and VectorCAD

    TurboCAD uses the "stick type fonts" to be compatible with AutoCAD drawings. You also have an option in TurboCAD to use True Type fonts installed on your PC.
