Power, precision and performance are the hallmarks of TurboCAD® Professional v12. With integrated 2D drafting, 3D surface and solid modeling, and photorealistic rendering, TurboCAD delivers unparalleled design productivity and dramatic visual results.
D-Cubed Geometric and Dimensional Constraint Manager
Easily
create and manage design dependencies plus, import and quickly
convert existing 2D TurboCAD and AutoCAD® designs into fully
constrained drawings. Now with more than 15 constraints for 2D
lines, arcs, circles, splines and dimensions, you can now quickly
and easily locate and delete existing constraints with the
constraints palette. You can even generate spline tangents with just
one click and TurboCAD automatically calculates the precise spline
connection points.

ACIS® Version 15 Solid Modeling Engine
Fast
and accurate creation of 3D models is a snap, with Spatial’s ACIS
v15 solid modeling engine. Create complex 3D shapes from simple 2D
profiles using TurboCAD’s Extrude and Sweep features. And, 3D
editing is made even easier with TurboCAD’s 3D slice, intersect and
Boolean editing tools. Quickly and easily create complex organic
shapes using NURBS and other deformable modeling tools, and easily
create a solid from a surface or vice versa.
Advanced Mechanical Design
Create
2D layouts of 3D parts and models—in seconds, with a powerful
drafting palette. Build layouts with multiple projections, complex
sectional views, and even derivative sectional views, with just a
few clicks. TurboCAD Professional delivers powerful solid and
surface modeling with extreme versatility. Plus, mechanical drafting
is even easier with these advancements:

Select
to display only those tools you want and need, freeing up valuable
screen space for designing. Choose from a variety of collapsible,
drag and drop menus with tools that are intuitively grouped and
organized, and offer display options ranging from simple icons, to
icons with full explanations. Plus, TurboCAD’s one of kind, context
sensitive tools eliminate unnecessary prompts and steps by making
intelligent assumptions about the users desired outcomes.
Simple Text Editing
Offering
a simplified approach, TurboCAD’s text editing tools mirror those
found in other graphic applications. Simply select the text box you
want to edit and the text editing palette is automatically called
up. Extrapolate text to create 3D text for effects such as
embossing. And make edits to 2D and 3D text, directly on screen.
Plus, choose from thousands of colors for text and background.
Interoperability
With
TurboCAD’s commitment to interoperability, sharing your files with
others and among other programs is never an issue. Always utilizing
the latest copy of the Open Drawing Alliance® library, TurboCAD
supports 28 of the most popular industry-standard file formats,
including AutoCAD’s DWG and DXF, DesignCAD’s DCD, MicroStation® DGN,
3DS, IGES, STEP and STL. A newly added feature even supports the
export of 3D files into DWF format. Or, users can publish designs
into HTML, JPG and now newly supported PNG and GIF file formats with
included Alpha Channel for transparencies.
Superior Artistic Design and Presentation
Access
countless brush styles with TurboCAD’s proprietary Brush Style
Editor and embed photos and other graphic elements directly into
your designs. Utilize Gradient Fills to fade from light to dark
along radial, linear, diamond or custom paths, or take advantage of
color transparencies to screen objects in the foreground to
emphasize objects in the background. Plus choose custom density
levels for scattering mediums, go even further with all new Decal
Reflectance filters, and enjoy all these additional image creation
tools:
Design

tools. Create parametric doors and windows, drag and drop them
directly into the walls of your 3D drawing. Define the exact
parameters of these objects and more.
