TurboCAD Reviews

The services offered by this software are so wide varied that they cover everything thus the service offered are good and focus on helping the client in all possible ways.

This platform it's difficult to use before you learn how to do it. I recommend this tool to have few drawbacks.

This software its very good and fucus on helping the clients.

This software designs architectural plans and even designs custom electric guitar body thus enabling grat file compatibility and no troubles .

TurboCad has been an important apparatus for me. I work with a constrained spending plan and don't invest much energy at the drafting board. TurboCad has been an entirely able program addressing the necessities that I have. I am not utilizing the most present rendition, however I am not utilizing every one of the capacities in the adaptation I am utilizing.

It requires a long time to get great with it. It's a hard programming to adapt yet there is a great deal you can do with it.

very good

I have generally utilized this bundle for Electrical/Electronics plan. The instruments make it simple to change over the illustrations to what ever design my clients need.

Ease of use. If you are new to 3D cad then you have a steep learning curve, but once you get to grip with the basics TurboCAD is very intuitive.

The drawing tools are all icon driven and most are well designed, leaving you in no doubt what they are for. Once selected the prompts at the bottom of the screen guide you further. Modify tools allow you to create complex geometry and refine 3D models. You are only limited by your imagination, I have not come across a design that I could not draw.

TurboCAD can be extensively customised, but this is not easy to understand. Without a working knowledge of the underlying code some custom settings defy explanation and there is always this nagging doubt the adjusted parameter is actually optimised for you particular needs. Customisation is however a very powerful part of TurboCad

Produce tooling designs for subcontractors in an engineering environment were increasingly they require the 3D model data. Also 3D prints from model to .stl format and slicing (using Cura) ready to print, all of which works very well.

The wide range of functionalities that can be used to create the design and accomplish task.

I don't think there is anything specific that I disklike

It's a very solid software that will meet your design needs

Drawings and design.

Drafting software that is not very expensive. Great for a contractor or anyone drawing plans for building.

It takes a while to get good with it. It's a hard software to learn but there is a lot you can do with it.

I would recommend this. Give yourself some time to work with it in the beginning.

Drawing building plans for estimates and for plan submissions.

The program has become an extension of my creative mind. When I would try to describe the why's and what's of an idea, you cannot project my 3D vision from my head in words. As a long time engineer, used to using 2D and "projections", this has become my standard. Once one gets past the learning curve and the quirks of this software, (all software has issues) this program has everything I need and more than I need. I am very satisfied with it.

I wish there was better rendering. I can get it to look quite good, but not as "life like" as I want. I am looking into making my own rendering images to use in my drawings.

If you have intelligence and a good mathematical mind this is a breeze to use. If you don't understand coordinate systems and using math, maybe not. Most engineers have those skills.

Communicating concepts to the factory. Factory workers do not understand 2D drawings any more. They are not trained in "blueprint" reading as they once were. So photos and 3D is the best way to go. The precision of the drawings is great for design work. TC has no limits that I have encountered for design work.

As powerful as AutoCAD, but more affordable.

Sometimes when I haven't used the program in awhile, I have some difficulty finding some of the commands I am looking for.

I mostly use it for 2D drafting. I do not utilize the full capabilities of the program.

My first version of TurboCad was #1, back in the early 90's. I have tried maybe 10 different programs since then and I always come back to TurboCad. It is so user friendly and affordable for all the features that you get. I highly recommend the tutorials and different training that is offered. That way you know how to use more of what is available. Very powerful programs.

I am not very familiar with using layers. I would like to see a way to highlight things and move them to a different layer. Right now I have to delete them and start over drawing them in the layer that I should have been using.

Just be sure and get as much training stuff as you can and be patient.

Having a hard copy of what we are trying to accomplish is so useful. A lot of the times it has to deal with angles. Using TurboCad is so easy to see the angles that we are trying to achieve. Then when we do have the item stored on our computer, we can bring it back up for future reference.

.Great program I just started to use turbo cad recently and I thought it was going to be difficult but after a couple of days it was no problem

There is nothing I would change bit the price is a little steep

I have been using TurboCad for many years (since it came on a floppy disc!) it has always returned safe accurate CAD drawings.

I tend to design almost exclusively in 3D, over the years I have been able to provide a number of successful mechanical designs, including full size flight vehicles.

I find that the format export function works very well and I have no difficulty providing .step files for the manufacture of parts.
