Animate TurboCAD

Anyone know how to make animated clips from TurboCAD. The only way I know how to do it is to move the piece of interest and safe the image as a frame. Repeat X-number of frames.

I know animation labs plugin will do this but there must be a cheaper alternative.

I've used something for SketchUp in the past that will make frames for the entire drawing in rotation, but I only want to rotate one piece while the rest of the drawing remains static.

How do you do it?

Hmm, TurboCAD, I bought a copy many years ago for $30, I think it was. Not a good product at that point. But it has hung around, so I suppose it got better. But at work I got assigned to the CAD support unit where we used MicroStation, which at the time was a $4000 Unix workstation/PC product that competed with AutoCAD. Still does that today, but is no longer a Unix product and goes for more like $5000. I never looked back at TurboCAD.

Anyway, could you use a macro to rotate your piece and save the image, and repeat x times? Then find some tool that will combine those images into an animation?
