Complete Set of 2D Drafting Tools

TurboCAD® Mac Pro provides unlimited 2D design options. Choose from a number 2D drafting tools including line, arc, curve, circle, ellipse, and spline tools. Access text, dimensioning tools, modifier and transformation tools for easy editing. Here is a sampling of 2D tools.

  • Polygon Tools – Slot polygon, N-Sided polygon, and polygon from curves tool.
  • Conic Tools, a.k.a. conic section tools, allow users to easily obtain a curve generated by the intersection of a cone with a plane.
  • Connect Curve Tool – Join Option – The Join Curve option replaces the two curves you select with a new spline curve. This tool will also join two polylines
  • Sketch Spline Tool – samples points as the cursor moves and creates a smooth spline through the sampled data. Once selected this tool has two options, the Sketch Spline tool and Sketch on a Surface tool.
  • Fair Spline Tool – The Fair Spline command provides a tool to globally smooth a curve. Fairing a spline optimally moves control vertices to locations that minimise large curvature variations.

Advanced 2D/3D Architectural Design Tools

TurboCAD® Mac Pro includes advanced tools for professional architectural design as well as thousands of symbols, materials, decals, and pre-drawn floorplans. Self-healing walls auto-dimension as they are drawn, auto trim wall vertices, and allow for assignment of hatch patterns and colour. Roof and slab tools work to quickly attach to existing walls, and when parametric doors and windows are added, the built-in intelligence automatically creates the needed openings.

Mesh Modeling Tools

Quickly create quad mesh primitives, extrusions, coverts, lathes, and meshes by points. Use subdivision modeling tools to smooth a quad mesh with a few clicks. Use in conjunction with the gripper tool for direct manipulation allowing you to easily create more organic shapes.

Surface Modeling Tools

Quickly model complex 3D objects with advanced design and modification tools. Primitives, complex and advanced surface tools, as well as surface modifiers and transformation tools are included.

ACIS® Solid Modeling Tools

The powerful ACIS 3D solid modeling engine and file filters fully supports 64 bit DLLs to create realistic, complex 3D objects as well as data crucial for engineers.

Woodworking Tools

TurboCAD® Mac Pro makes it easier to visualise your next woodworking project with a suite of woodworking joint tools. Create these joints with just a few clicks:

  • Rabbet Joints
  • Dado Joints
  • Miter Joints
  • Dovetail Joints
  • Tongue and Groove Joints

Assembly Tools

A suite of assembly tools speed 3D design while snaps and alignment aids ensure accuracy.

  • Assembly Connect – connects one solid to another at a specified connection point.
  • Assembly Mate – Mate planar faces. You can specify an offset distance between mated faces.
  • Assembly Align – Align a face of two solid objects and supports cylindrical, spherical and planar faces.
  • Assembly Insert – Align and mate the faces of two solid objects. The align faces must be cylindrical and the mate faces must be planar. This tool is very useful for inserting bolts into holes.

Part Tree

TurboCAD® Mac Pro offers a fully editable, hierarchal part tree for Solids and Surfaces. The Part Tree can be viewed as a selective UNDO/REDO tool: adjust the parameters of a bend, for example, without having to UNDO the design steps that have been made to the model since the parameter of that object were originally set. Each subsequent step will be applied correctly on the newly updated geometry.

Powerful Photorealistic and Sketch Rendering

Add materials, lighting including special effects lighting, and environmental effects to create stunning photorealistic renderings. High Dynamic-Range Images (HDRI) are supported as well as export of poster size images. You can even select a sketch render styles like cartoon, colour wash, pencil, mosaic and more for an artistic effect.

Performance Improvements

Performance Improvements

TurboCAD® Mac 16 delivers significant performance improvements for handling large files and complex operations.

Up to 12× Faster Redraws

The redraw speed has been improved up to 12 times for large files. In testing, a 2D file containing 148,318 objects—including points, lines, circles, polygons, text, and groups—was repainted much more quickly compared to the previous version. This improvement becomes more noticeable as the number of entities increases.

Up to 22× Faster File Loads

Files with thousands of entities now load up to 22 times faster. This results in reduced wait time and a more responsive user experience when opening complex projects.

Up to 5× Faster PDF/DWG Import Speed

Importing complex PDF and DWG files is now up to five times faster, improving efficiency when working with external design data.

Up to 25× Faster Printing of Large Files

Printing performance for large designs has been optimized up to 25 times faster, allowing for quicker output without sacrificing quality.
