This toolbar does not seem to show up, as it once did, when it was installed and TurboCAD was started. If this toolbar does not show up for the user, they will need to drag a copy onto an existing toolbar or create a new toolbar when TurboCAD is started. The tool is located under the second Copy Entities entry of the Customise dialogue. The category below the second Copy Entities, "Select By", also contains the two other tools that are part of the BCiTools_GM toolbar, should a user wish to add them to a toolbar. When it comes to printing the drawing during the tutorial, it will be printed to PDF with the use of the freeware known as PDF995. If you do not already have it please download it and install it prior to starting TurboCAD. "All three products are available as FREE downloads. The free versions display a sponsor page in your web browser each time you run the software. If you would prefer not to see sponsor pages, you may upgrade by obtaining individual keys for each product at any time for $9.95 each." The tutorial utilizes a font called Vogel. It was one of 1200 fonts the author purchased from Cosmi for $12.

If only to help gain a better understanding of what a user is modeling a Google image search and regular web search is time well spent. 6
