You’ll also find power text and dimensioning tools, fillet and chamfer tools, as well as 2D modifier and transformation tools.

Drafting Assistant & Snaps

The Drafting Assistant thinks like a drafter. It automatically knows where construction lines are typically wanted and displays them temporarily as you draw. Combined with snaps to quickly locate tangent and perpendicular points or align to x, y,zaxis edges, faces or workplanes, making TurboCAD Mac ideal for modeling in 3D or quickly laying floorplans, diagrams and more.

Advanced Tools for 3D Design & Rendering

TurboCAD Mac Deluxe goes beyond Designer allowing user to create 3D models without sacrificing speed or ease of use.

• Mesh tools – create 3D mesh designs from multiple points
• Surface modeling – primitive, complex and advanced surface tools, as well as surface modifiers and transformation tools are all included
• ACIS® Solid modeling technology - Choose from a variety of 3D primitives and access 3D utilities, solid feature tools, solid face modification tools, and more.

 Over 11,000 2D/3D symbols and parts

Choose from thousands of parts and symbols to effortlessly add to your design including electrical, mechanical, bathroom, kitchen, construction, LAN, CMOS, doors, windows, counters, fasteners, HVAC and more. Use the symbols browser to quickly locate just what you need, enhanced to now display symbol filenames.

New Architectural Design Tools

Smart walls- TurboCAD Mac’s self-healing walls automatically join, intersect, intelligently to speed design. Additional Walls options include auto-dimensioning (applied as they are drawn), auto trim of wall vertices, and assignment of hatch patterns and colors.

Parametric Doors & Windows– Choose from 3 door styles (Single, Single Standard, or Double) and 3 window styles (Overlapping Sill, Standard Sill and Tight Sill) to drag-and-drop into a wall, and TurboCAD Mac will automatically create an opening in the wall. In addition, users can offset the door or window a prescribed distance from the end of the wall for rapid and precise placement.

 Complete File Compatible & Conversion Options

Easily import your graphic designs files into TurboCAD and turn them into precision CAD drawings with dimensions. Just as easily, you can export technical drawings from TurboCAD into desktop publishing formats, perfect for use in brochures and all other marketing materials.

Import or export from these popular formats: AutoCAD® DWG/DXF, JPEG (export only), CGM (import only), Claris CAD (import only), PNG, ACIS® SAT, Adobe® EPS (export only), Adobe® Illustrator, Adobe® PDF (export only), IGES, PICT, TIFF, Rhino 3DM (import only), Spline (import only), STEP, TEXT, Truespace COB, DAT (import only), 3DS (import only), FAC (import only), BMP, STL, WRL (export only), 2D Raster.

You can also use TurboCAD’s powerful batch conversion tool to batch convert a collection of drawings to other file formats.

Printing, Publishing& PDF

Use the page layouts to publish your design from up to 4 different view angles on a single page. New shaded view options for Page Layouts offer greater control of how the printed document will look. Users can also save designs as single or multi-page PDFs in standard or custom sizes for sending via email.

Verify your Designs

A set of sophisticated surface analysis tools will help you maintain proper design integrity by providing critical information about your designs such as evaluating the smoothness of one or more surfaces, useful for identifying surface irregularities. Then choose from any of four curvature plot styles Gaussian, Mean, Min Radius and Max Radius.

 New Features

Improved Printing

New Options in Page Layout to Keep Dimensions Text Size, Keep Text Size and overlay the drawing in the Print Preview window. All enable better user control of how the printed document will look.

New Layer Sets

New Layer SetsLayers may now be organized into sets, making it easy to visually turn on and off appropriate visual aspects of a model. The number of layer sets is virtually unlimited, layers can be assigned to as many sets as necessary, and sets can be recursively nested.

New Circular Fill

The enhanced fill tool automatically creates polygons when needed, so you can add solid fills to circle objects for added flexibility in design.

New & Improved Wall Options

TurboCAD Mac’s new and improved self-healing walls are automatically join, intersect, and update to speed design. New enhancements enables auto-dimensioning of walls as they are drawn, auto trimming of wall vertices, and allows for assignment of a hatch pattern and a color to a wall

New & Improved Door Tool

Save time adding doors to architectural designs. Simply insert one of the three 2D door styles into a wall, and TurboCAD Mac will automatically create an opening in the wall for the door. In addition, users can offset the door a prescribed distance from the end of the wall for more precise placement.
The door tool comes with 3 styles - Single, Single Standard and Double.

New & Improved Window Tool

Like the door tool, users can quickly insert one of the three 2D window styles into a wall, and TurboCAD Mac will automatically create an opening in the wall for the window. Plus, for more precise placement, windows can be offset a prescribed distance from the end of the wall on which they are placed.
The window tool includes 3 styles - Overlapping Sill, Standard Sill and Tight Sill

New Block Manager

New palette which enables users to create, edit and manage Blocks. A block preview window is included. Both 2D and 3D Blocks are supported

New Fair Curve Tool

Accurately smooth and tolerance spline curves with this exciting new tool. New Freehand Spline Tool Get added flexibility with the ability to create a vector spline by freehand drawing, as opposed to using user-defined points. 

New Lip Solid Tool 

The Lip Solid tool sweeps a profile about a collection of edges and either adds or subtracts the resultant sweep to or from the base solid. The given profile is automatically aligned perpendicular to the selected edge. In addition, a reference point is specified such that the profile is translated from the reference point to the start position along the edge selected. When the base solid is regenerated the profile is always translated from the reference position to that on the edge and then realigned.

New Rib Tool 

The Rib tool extrudes and thickens a closed or open profile into a base solid. The profile is terminated up to the first face it reaches in the direction of the extrude

New Invert Zoom for all mouse models 

TurboCAD Mac v5 offers the new ability to define whether “Scroll In” or “Scroll Out” on the mouse wheel defines “Zoom In” or “Zoom Out”. Formerly, “Scroll In” could only define the “Zoom In” action, but now users can go to the file preferences and invert the Zoom command on the mouse, making it much easier to navigate in and out of a desired area of the drawing. 

TC Symbols now display filename

The filename of your TurboCAD Mac symbols now displays when the cursor is passed over a symbol. This makes it much easier to identify, locate, and insert symbols, especially when they look similar in the preview.
