I learned some TurboCAD basics by reading the help and working through tutorials. There have been some difficulties with using the 2D Add function. An error message keeps saying the selected objects are not valid for the operation. Also, I want to stick some rectangles together so that certain edges coincide, and I want to resize the rectangles without changing their position relative to each other.

August 11: I did some sweeping and scrubbed the blue-green mats on the pair of tables next to the tool box and the windows.

I noticed some error messages on the computer John and saved some logged messages that seemed to be related.

Brendan was able to use 2D Add to combine an ellipse and a circle. He did it by activating one of the snap modes that I left off. I think it was "Nearest on Facet."

August 19: I swept the floor in lab 402, including the room for the fibers, which needed sweeping the most. I also swept lab 405, where I found sawdust on the floor. I continued to study TurboCAD.
