Recently, Sheen In Liew and Sophia Lee of the AutoCAD team hosted an in-depth webinar to help you learn how to work with blocks in AutoCAD. Entertainment IndustryBlocks are-quite literally-the building blocks of AutoCAD. The turnbuckles come into particular play in professional wrestling where they are often put to use by participants as part of their offensive repertoire. The turnbuckles in these rings are covered with padding in order to protect the competitors.

Turnbuckles find a popular use for tensioning the ropes in professional wrestling rings and boxing rings, where they serve as the attachment between the ring ropes and ring posts. This device is also known as a bottlescrew in this context.

Turnbuckles are used for tensioning a ship's rigging and lashings. In both cases they are secured with lockwire or specifically designed wire clips to prevent them from losing tension. Turnbuckles are also widely used on flexible cables in flight control systems. Biplanes may use turnbuckles to adjust the tension on structural wires bracing their wings. Turnbuckles are most commonly used in applications which require a great deal of tension they can range in mass from about ten grams for thin cable used in a garden fence, to thousands of kilograms for structural elements in buildings and suspension bridges.

This is generally to make a flown unit sit parallel to the stage. In entertainment rigging, turnbuckles are more commonly used to make small adjustments in line lengths. Turnbuckles are used in nearly all rigging performed in the entertainment industry, including theatre, film, and live concert performances.
