"If you're looking for a good CAD tool, an inexpensive alternative to market-leader AutoCAD, TurboCAD Professional has much to offer."
- Contributing Editor David Cohn, Desktop Engineering Magazine, February 2005

 

 

 

 
 
TurboCAD v15 Pro - Mechanical Edition
 
 
 
 
Benefits  
Advanced Mechanical Tools
Bend
Create accurate bends measuring from a specific distance from the edge. Set the axis, angle and radius and let TurboCAD do the rest.
Unbend
Great for sheet metal and fabrication shops, creates new unfolding object, leaving original in tact.
Tube Bend Tool
Make cylinders incredibly flexible. Simply choose where you want to bend to create models previously not possible.
Tube Flange Tool
Simply extend a tube and bend it in just a few clicks.
Flange Tool
Rapidly creates flat and bent flanges using the Smart Dimensioning tool for precision.
Parametric Holes with Boss Hole Type
Create parametric holes in objects in a few easy steps and modify the properties at any time including a option for easy parametric cylindrical bosses.
Imprint
Saves up to 3 steps by optionally combining Booleans with the Extrude Blend and Chamfer tools into one single procedure.
Horizontal & Vertical Constraints
Locks line segments into vertical or horizontal modes thereby adding greater control during the design process.
Unfold face
Unfolds faces of various ACIS objects such as cones, even those with a filleted rectangle as the base. This is also knows as obtaining the involute of a surface is great for working with materials sheet metal or fabrics.
Facet Offset Tool
Move a Facet in or out of its current position while updating all connecting surfaces.

2D Drafting
Advanced Drawing Tools - Employs over 40 line, arc, curve and spline tools
Constraints - Apply relationships between 2 or more objects via dimensional and geometric constraints for accurate designs which can then be adjusted easily
Select Copy & Editing Tools - Comes equipped with tools to allow you to quickly select objects by type, colour or by layer
Annotation Tools – Dimensioning and Text are vital to any CAD Drawing ours include:
- Smart, Quick and Baseline which allow you to dimension automatically
- Associate 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 and Surveyor
- Multi-Text formatting and scaling options
Parametric Parts, Blocks & Symbols - Parametric Parts greatly enhance this feature by allowing you to create your own parameter driven components for increased changes productivity
Block Attributes - Is AutoCAD®-style informational text associated with a block that you can enter whenever you insert a block
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
ACIS Solid Modelling – Provides realistic 3D object creation as well as data crucial for engineers such as Volume, Moments of inertia, centre of gravity and surface area
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
