TurboCAD Pro 15 Overview
TurboCAD Pro 15 is the premium design software solution
that’s delivered exceptional value to both 2D and 3D users for over 20 years.
TurboCAD Pro 15’s robust set of 2D drafting and 3D modeling tools enable users to create innovative designs for a wide range of industries and disciplines. TurboCAD also includes several industry-leading technologies, such as Spatial Technology’s ACIS® solid modeling engine, LightWork Design’s photorealistic rendering and lighting engine and material libraries, and Siemens PLM Software’s D-Cubed geometric and dimensional constant engine.
TurboCAD Pro’s incredible flexibility, low learning curve and overall ease of use are hallmarks of this award-winning program. A completely customizable graphical user interface, SEKE’s (Single Entry Key commands), and a Part/History Tree allows for editing of complex designs in any order.
TurboCAD Pro is incredibly compatible with other CAD and graphics programs and formats, supporting import from over 30 file formats and export to over 25 formats. Our DXF and DWG file translators for AutoCAD® are considered some of the best in the industry.
Whether you are a professional mechanical engineer, architect or builder, civil engineer, woodworker, hobbyist or student, TurboCAD has you covered! Plus, there are optional, specialized architectural and mechanical toolsets available for purchase, as well as plug-ins that extend TurboCAD’s capabilities into 3D Animation, Furniture Design, Computer Aided Machining (CAM), and more.
2D Drafting
Advanced Drawing Tools
TurboCAD employs over 40 line, arc, curve and spline tools, so that no matter the situation you’ve got the right tool for the job. When used with TurboCAD’s snaps and drawing aids you’ll be able to quickly sketch your designs with no restrictions.
Constraints
Apply relationships between 2 or more objects via dimensional and geometric constraints for accurate designs which can then be adjusted easily. Make a change to one object in your design, constraints automatically update the drawing based on the rules you’ve set. Dimensionally drive your 2D profiles.
Select Copy & Editing Tools
TurboCAD comes equipped with tools to allow you to quickly select objects by type, color or by layer. Coupled with TurboCAD's array & copy tools you’ll save copious amounts of time. When used in conjunction with constraints provide huge power to your line-up.
Annotation Tools
Dimensioning and Text are vital to any CAD Drawing. Ours include:
Smart, Quick, Baseline which allow you to dimension automatically
Associative Dimensions - Freely move, rotate, or resize the associated objects and the dimension will retain its position relative to the objects, and the dimension text will change automatically to reflect changes.
Precise Dimensioning - Up to 10 decimal points.
Formats include: Architectural, Fractional, Engineering, Decimal. Surveyor
Multi-Text Formatting and Scaling options.
Parametric Parts, Blocks & Symbols
Easily create reusable objects, then drag and drop them into your designs. Parametric Parts, new in TurboCAD 15, greatly enhance this feature by allowing you to create your own parameter driven components for increased productivity.
Block Attributes
A block attribute is AutoCAD®-style informational text associated with a block that you can enter whenever you insert a block. TurboCAD reads and displays block attributes from AutoCAD drawings (DWG) and DXF files and allows you to generate your own.
Hatches, Patterns and Line Styles
Apply hatch patterns by object or pick-points to add the finishes touches to your production drawings.
3D Conceptual Design and Rendering
TurboCAD offers the benefits modeling with both Surfaces and (ACIS®) Solids allowing for optimal flexibility in design. When coupled with LightWorks® Photorealistic Rendering you’re sure to impress clients and associates with your dramatic presentations.
ACIS Solid Modeling
Provides realistic complex 3D object creation as well as data crucial for engineers such as Volume, Moments of inertia, Center of gravity and Surface Area. Some of ACIS tools are:
Rail, Sweep and Revolve
Facet and Edge Modifiers
Extrusions and Lofts of Compound Profiles
Face to Face and Branch Lofting
Section and Slice
Lightworks
Allows you to place lighting and luminance to your entire environment and allows you to apply bitmap materials to any 3D face for dramatic realism.
Profile Editing
3D objects that are created by performing a function on a 2D profile can be modified to update the 3D object that is based on it.
Assembly Tools
Easily combining multiple components together to create one part has been made especially easy with TurboCAD new assemble tools.
Part Tree
Allows you to go back to any procedural step in your design and make modifications without losing any subsequent work.
Profile Editing
3D objects that are created by performing a function on a 2D profile can be modified to update the 3D object that is based on it.
Publishing, Productivity and Reports
Drafting Palette
Automatically creates and enables you to insert standard views of your model into Paper Space.
Dynamic Viewports
Viewports have two components: a boundary and the view that it contains. Any update of the view is instantly applied to the viewport. Viewports can be independently scaled and displayed in hidden line draft and quality rendered modes.
Desktop Customization
TurboCAD’s desktop interface is completely customizable. Add command to any toolbar. Pop-up toolbars let you assign your most used tools to the local menu (right-mouse click), saving you from spending time navigating endlessly to use a tool.
Context Sensitive Help
Click any tool or menu item to instantly pull up the help description.
Database, Reports, Tables
Define custom field reports, bill of materials and parts lists. 
Architectural Tools
Walls
Walls automatically create openings for parametric doors and windows. TurboCAD also offers a host of supporting tools for walls.
Wall Dimension tool -Quickly assign dimensions to any straight wall, including dimension thickness. Place dimensions in parallel or at any angle from the wall.
Join/Split/Modify/Dimension Walls -Intelligent walls automatically join, intersect, and split when placing a door or window and even update dimensions automatically after you edit them.
Intelligent Wall-Self-healing intersection and ends for quickly layout floor plans.
Convert to wall -Convert existing lines, polylines, circles and curves into walls.
Parametric Doors and Windows, Stairs and Slabs
Allow you to instantly create and modify doors and windows, stairs and slabs. Specify types and shape, select material, adjust dimensions, and more.
Door Types: Single and Double-hung
Door Shapes: Rectangular and Custom
Stair Types: Straight
Window Type: Picture Awning and Transom
Window Shapes: Rectangular
Intelligent Roofs
Intelligent roofs let you alter the pitch, add skylights, move items, change materials and self heal after a move.
AEC Styles
Allows you to modify or customize your architectural objects down to the last detail.
Door and Window Schedule
Adding a window or door into a drawing dynamically updates the schedule. User has complete control over how text will appear.
