Turbo Cad worth it or not

[Offroad Perfection]

Anyone proficient in Turbo Cad? I new to it catching one slowly seems very cumbersome for just 2D basic shapes. Is there any good training videos out there of simpler Drawing software?

I use it and like it, if you PM me with your email address I can send you some videos (from the Google drive) I made with some explanations. It will help you with the basics.
If you watch other CAD YouTube video there are many similar functions they may use with different names but do the same things.
Be sure you get the CAD version not the design version, I am using TurboCad 20.2, I have used it for many different projects, 3-D printing, Plasma G-codes and Router projects.

If you want powerful drawing for the unbeatable price of free... I use FreeCAD for any dimensioned drawing. Its sketcher and constraint tools are powerful and getting better all the time. With the release of version 1.0 early next year, the sketching will be the most intuitive and fast that it's ever been.

It's also very simple to extrude your drawing into a 3D shape if you want to visualize how your part will look after cut.

i have used turbocad for the last 7 years or so for all my plasma parts. It is easy to run, any program is cumbersome til you learn it IMO. It is useless for 3d but works well for 2d, tho I dont think it is any better then any others, I chose it for price
