Features
New Features• Automatic Workplane by Face - Add speed to drawing and editing in 3D. Now all drawing tools will automatically detect and reposition the workplane when mousing over the face of an object • 3D Assembly Tools - Enjoy easier editing of 3D objects with two new assembly tools – assemble by tangent and assemble by axis • Woodworking Layout Tool - Create 2D layouts of 3D models to optimize the cutting and manufacturing of new components • Dimensions - Get greater flexibility and enhanced 2D drafting ability with New Angular Dimension for Arcs and New Surveyor Linear Dimension • 3D Drawing Tool – Rotated Box - Create 3D box on any angle from your active workplane • Parametric Parts and Symbols - Ability to create fully parametric 2D and 3D content – some parts may be used in AutoCAD® as well! • Part and Symbol Library Palette - New Palette allows for easy management of Parametric Parts and symbols • “Green” Library - Access a library of over 50 Eco-friendly objects along with dozens of materials to help conserve our natural resources • Materials - Over 300 New Materials have been added, many that are Eco-friendly • ASAT File Import/Export - Enjoy enhanced compatibility for 3D solid modelling. Store 3D objects and blocks/inserts in ASAT files. • Collada (DAE) File Export - Experience enhanced operability with virtual worlds and Google™ Earth with this powerful new export option • OBJ File Import/Export - Obtain OBJ support for polygonal models and free form models such as curves and NURB surfaces • Unbend Tool for Sheet and Metal Bodies – Increase 3D surface modeling capability • Unfold Tool for Cylindrical, Cone, Planar & NURB Faces – Make 3D designing more flexible • Bill of Materials/ Price List – The most effective way to cost your design. Report on all object properties and block attributes, assign custom attributes, or adjust the query to produce custom reports. Then easily convert the report into a table as a new TurboCAD object • Support of Table Object - addition to converting a Bill of Materials report into a table, you can also use the new Insert Table Tool to create a table on the fly, or import a table from DWG/DXF files, as Table Objects are now AutoCAD® compatible. • Fill Schedule Wizard – Create and fill the schedule table with drawing information faster and easier Improved Features • Lofting - Lofting guidelines provide enhanced control of your lofted objects by adding 3D splines and polylines • 3DS File Import/Export - Get better interoperability with mechanical and artistic design applications with improved material, texture coordinate, and normal import/export of 3DS files • Imprint Tool – Enhanced 3D modeling with the ability to add fillet and chamfers to top and bottom imprint contours |
