I do not recognise it. The symbols CD that we sell is v3 and you can import the symbols in a variety of formats, or indeed, into a variety of CAD software. You simply choose the symbol you want by double clicking on it or hitting ‘export’. The Symbols packages then minimizes, revealing TC, you then left click and it appears. You are then able to re-size, put into a symbols or blocks library. This works in Pro and Deluxe. You are welcome to call 01962 835 081 ex1 Paul Steve,

Most of the files on the Disk are in DLL format and the disk has its own Viewer Program. You can't just copy the Symbols into your Symbols Library because they are imbedded in the DLL files. The program won't allow you to export the Symbols to Turbocad Deluxe; I guess you have to have Turbocad Pro or Platinum. I tried to contact Turbocad Support about this problem, but they have ignored all my messages. My question is; does anybody know how to extract the Symbols from the DLL files so that they can be added to my Symbols Library? I think it would require some type of software to extract the Symbols. I believe the Turbocad Company has purposely done this so that the Symbols can only be used in Cad software they choose.

I have two suggestions. You could try support at IMSI, so go to www.imsidesign.com and lodge a ticket there, or join the Forum on that site and see if anyone for a small fee may be able to sort the problem. Sorry I can’t be of more help, but if you get nowhere with my suggestions let me know and I’ll personally call support in the US.
