Hi everybody, thanks for the replies, the speed is impressive. I will dig deeper now I've got something to go on.

Hi every one. I am a newby to the MEW web site, a sometime MEW magazine contributor and a Chartered Engineer. I spent 10 of my early working years as a mechanical Design & Development Engineer when it was a tracing paper and pencil job. I have been a model maker for some 40+ years and have been using TurboCad for maybe the last 10 years or so. I am having great difficulty with TurboCad 10 as there is very little useful 'How To' help with the package. I use an iMac with which TurboCad struggles generally anyway. Does anybody know of or use an alternative CAD package which is simple to use, has a good instruction book as print or software and maybe email/phone back-up' plus the iMac version is reliable. Most of my CAD drawing are for work shop use so I don't use or need 3D. I need to be able to produce 2D drawing for making/building things generally and like to produce proper drawings that I can the print for workshop use. Any one have any suggestions ? BrianM

PS. I have just added an Album with 4 or 5 photos off a couple of project that have kept me occupied in the last few years. The clock is my own design with a 'Big Ben' escapement

Hi Jason, Thanks for that, have now managed to upload 4 photos as a start. Was a bit of a struggle but finally tried all the options until one worked. BrianM

Hi I'm a long time model engineer and a contributor to ME magazine but new to this web site. I use apple computers, laptops, phones etc but don't claim to be a wizard with this sort of thing. I find navigating and trying to do things on the site very confusing and feel it needs a "How to"page somewhere obvious on the site. I have just opened my first Album but can't for the life of me find out how to download any photos on to it. Any suggestions anyone ?? BrianM

PS I have seen Neil's Thread about pdf's but didn't really understand it, all my photos are jpeg on an apple iMac.

I have the same problem, I'm a long time subscriber to MEW and have contributed a number of articles. We are downsizing and I have some kit I need to sell/donate. I can't find out how to post except this comment about posting. How many do I need to make ? BrianM
