Benefits
Revolutionary 'intelligent' tools that let
you focus on design, not the design tools.
New Smart Dimension Tool makes for faster, more
efficient annotation of your drawing, automatically recognizing
and creating the correct dimension type for:
- Linear dimensions for parallel and orthogonal lines
- Angular dimensions for any angle
- Radial Dimensions for arcs
- Diameter Dimensions for circles
- Even add dimensions to 3D objects in Rendered or Hidden Line
modes.
New Geometric Alignment Aids - Improved snap
indicators and superior auxiliary line presentation, as well as
other snap advances
-
Improved Tangent Snaps
-
Improved Projection Snaps
-
Improved Perpendicular Line Snaps
-
Improved Parallel Line Snaps
-
Improved Tangent from Arc Snaps
-
New Extended Node Editing for Cubes, Cylinder,
and Cones

-
New Compound Profiles in Blocks - A major
enhancement to block handling, Compound Profiles can be
generated, stored, and edited in a block section, saving
valuable time.

-
Improved Selection Info Palette puts all
information about an object in one place and is now integrated
with the Part Tree - no more jumping back and forth between
palettes.
-
New Dimension and 3D Layers are now created by
default, so you don't have to think about it. When your image
gets too cluttered, simply turn off the layer until you need
it.
-
Region Improvement - Creating a region from
selected="selected" objects or by 2D Boolean operations is now
up to 8 times faster.
Design, Draft & Present
-
New LightWorks® v7.5 Photorealistic Rendering
Engine
-
New Terrain tool - Want to place your home or
building design on a hillside or uneven terrain? It's a snap
with the new Terrain tool. Create terrains from scratch or by
importing Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) data from standard
file formats.
-
New options to display only foreground hidden
lines Open up a world of presentation possibilities by
overlaying hidden line renders on top of draft and quality
rendered images.
-
New Chamfer Angle Option - Specify the exact
angle to be used in the Chamfer Command.
-
Improved Multiline Text - Indent lines and
paragraphs or create any number of tab stops.
-
Delayed Paperspace Render - Don't be slowed
down waiting for a render to happen. With TurboCAD 14, you
control when and how your viewports in paperspace will render.
Step Ahead with Architectural
Design
-
New
Parametric Stairs - Like doors & windows, stairs
are fully parametric - Material, Stair Dimensions, including
width, riser height, tread depth, riser count and how the stair
terminates (with tread, riser or landing).
-
New Wall
Dimension Tool - Quickly assign dimensions to any
straight wall, including dimension thickness.
-
New Window
& Door Schedules automatically generate. Adding a
window or door into drawing dynamically updates the schedule
and you have complete control over how text will
appear.
New
additional Architectural Pack - Available at extra
cost. You will be presented with a chance to buy this after you
have proceeded to the checkout.
Our industrial
architectural toolset includes an edit profile tool, additional
parametric windows and door types and shapes, new
multi-landing, spiral, and U-shaped parametric stair styles
plus:
-
New
Parametric Rails complement new parametric stairs.
Define hundreds of rail types from location, post position,
and extension parameters. Set automatically or manually,
offset and justify locations and material.
-
New Style
Manager for Architectural Designs Access sets of
define styles and parameters for Architectural Object types,
Schedules, Text and AEC Dimensions. Define a custom style
guide and manage how architectural objects are defined and
how non-design objects (text, dimensions, schedules) look
& behave.
Innovate with Mechanical Design
-
New ACIS®
v16 Solid Modeling Engine Upgraded from ACIS v15,
you'll find many more improvements like improved healing when
importing models and more.
-
New Branch
Lofting for one "trunk" and two or more 'branches'.
New Branched Loft Tool manages both simple and compound
profiles, minimizing what once took several
operations.
-
New Face to
Face Lofting - Select two faces on different 3D
objects and instantly build a lofting body to unite
them.
-
New
Constraint Tool Option Angular Dimension for Arcs.
Change the value of the angular dimension and watch it
automatically update.
-
Improved
Part Tree lets you suppress any operation and delay
update for quick "what if" scenarios. You can even hide
portions of the Part Tree for re-rendering.
New
additional Mechanical Pack - Available at
extra cost. You will be presented with a chance to buy this
after you have proceeded to the checkout.
Our specialised
mechanical drafting toolset, like the Facet Offet Tool,
Parametric editing, Pattern Constraints and Parametric Holes
include a host of new features:
-
New Tube
Bend Tool make cylinders incredibly flexible. Simply
choose where you want to bend to quickly create models
previously not possible.
-
New Tube
Extend Tool puts several new operations together.
Extend a tube, & bend it.
-
New
Flange Tool works with our new Smart Dimensions to
determine the exact position and size of a flange
dramatically speeding the design process.
-
Improved
Bend Tool with New Options Rapidly create accurate
bends measuring from a specific distance from the edge. Set
the axis, angle and radius and let TurboCAD do the
rest.
-
New Boss
Hole
Type Easy parametric
cylindrical bosses
Better Compatibility
-
AutoCAD® 2007 Support offers easy file sharing
and file compatibility with updated DXF/DWG file import export.
-
New Google SketchUp Support allows you to
import your SketchUp 5 conceptual design files into TurboCAD,
the quickly create precision designs with TurboCAD's advanced
tools.
-
Improved Linear Dimensions Import from DWG -
Better, more accurate conversion of linear dimensions from an
AutoCAD drawing into a TurboCAD drawing.
