Michael - this is a question that has come up before on this forum,
and it looks like there is an opening for someone to create a
"how-to" guide like the one Hagen Henke has made for Thorsten's other
really useful software, GraphicConverter.
I know I found changing from a "MacDraw" (or OmniGraffle for newer
readers) environment (where you do everything with the mouse) to a
CAD environment (where you need to key in numbers much more) quite
difficult at first. (In comparison, TurboCAD for Mac does seem as
though it would be easier to learn for folks more familiar with
mouse-drawing; that's my own feeling and may not be entirely fair as
I'd got a lot of time on CADintosh before TCfM came out, and so
didn't need training in the "CAD" mindset.) Any how-to guide would
probably only be useful for one application, and so would have a
restricted market.
One of the contributors, Tkat, did make some very useful postings
which were "recipies" for doing various engineering-type things. You
might find it worthwhile to look in the list archives for his
messages with subject lines including "Chap 1" to "Chap 4", during
April & May 2005, and some of the later follow-ups to those messages.
Hope this helps.
regards
Rowland
