TurboCAD 17 Deluxe - Open Box

Context-Sensitive Help
Right-click to instantly access recently used tools, recently entered values, and a quick way to change or reset reference points. If a TurboCAD tool is active, the context menu provides a contextual toolbar as well, with additional similar tools and functions.

Flexible User Interface
Turn on and off only the tools you want to see as you work in a familiar, windows-like, customisable interface. Display TurboCADs comprehensive set of 2D/3D design tools with full explanations in the beginner mode. Switch to intermediate or expert mode to gain screen space as you become more familiar with the program.

Page Set Up Wizard
Breeze through questions designed to help you define your drawings size and orientation, units of measurement, printing scale and viewpoints

Advanced Handle-Based Editing
Save time and draw more accurately, more quickly. TurboCAD provides handles for scaling, but also for rotating, moving and aligning objects

Snaps & Geometric Alignment Aids
Draw lines quickly and let snap tools automatically align them with the closest center point, end point, or dozens of points you choose. Geometric alignment aids improve snap indicators.

2D & 3D Text Editing
Create and edit text without leaving your drawing. Plus, choose from thousands of colours for text and background

Colours, Brushes, Bitmap and Gradient Fills, and Transparency
TurboCAD allows for hatch patterns and gradients to be layered with transparency. Custom bitmaps, such as your company logo, may be used as well. This empowers you to much more clearly and precisely communicate construction or assembly details.

Table Objects
Create a table on the fly, or import a table from DWG/DXF files.

Fill Schedule Wizard
Create and fill the schedule table with drawing information

TurboCAD Deluxe 17 includes practical tools tailored to architects, builders, and civil engineers. Design and showcase floor plans, decks, kitchens, bathrooms, room additions and more!

Intelligent Walls
Self-healing walls automatically join and intersect as you design in 2D or 3D. View wall dimensions with a single-click.

Automatic Wall Openings
Slide doors, windows, arches or any shape to create openings in walls with linked 2D and 3D views. Set vertical alignment properties for precise placement.

Parametric Doors & Windows
Window and Door dimensions can be scaled to meet your design needs. Further customise with materials and colours.

Hatch Patterns and Fills
Choose from over 70 hatch patterns (including colours) to visually identify various components of your drawing. Bitmaps, like your company logo, or gradient fills may also be used with transparency.

Fractional Dimensions
Display fractions in stacked, diagonal, or in-line layout to accommodate your personal preferences.

Point Marker Tool
Automatically number objects such as rooms, doors or windows. Great for creating legends, call outs, or simply mapping points and adding notes to your drawings.

TurboCAD Deluxe 17 offers innovative tools tailored to mechanical engineers and designers. Design everything from engines and mechanical parts, to circuit boards, patent drawings and more.

2D & 3D Boolean operations
Use two existing objects and combined, subtracted, intersected, or sliced to create a new object. Select multiple entities for addition or subtraction.

Revolve
Move a 2D object around a revolution axis to create a 3D object.

Extrude
Pull complex 3D models from simple 2D shapes.

Sweeps
Extrude shapes along a path, perfect for drafting irregular objects.

Chain Polyline
Chain Polyline allows for faster design by allowing you to connect intersecting objects or portions of objects into a single polyline which can be then extruded, revolved or swept

Automatic, Editable Meshes
Easily create complex meshes by entering coordinate information or importing matrix data from Excel®, then view, edit and render.

Colour Transparency
Screen back the colour of an object in the foreground to display or emphasize hidden details in the background.

TurboCAD Deluxe 17 supports 28 industry-standard formats, including AutoCAD® and Google SketchUp making it an excellent companion product. Click for PDF of file formats

Google SketchUp SKP Import/Export
Import detailed information from your SketchUp model into TurboCAD. Supplemental rendering, lighting and materials information is also imported if the SketchUp model has been rendered with IMSI/Design's IDX Renditioner product, a plug-in to SketchUp. You can also convert your TurboCAD models into native SketchUp (.SKP) files for seamless import into Google SketchUp.
