TurboCAD Professional v16 has over 50 new features and improvements.
TurboCAD Professional v16 has over 50 new features and improvements including a Drafting Palette that lets users create associative 2D sections based on standard views or sectional planes of 3D surface or ACIS solid models, including XREFs and imported models from ADT and Google SketchUp. The Bezier Curves capability has node-editing options such as equal curvatures-at-point, non-equal curvature-at-point, and non-smooth-at-point. These provide better control over curve fitting with node handles. A 3D modeling enhancement called Quick Pull lets users select a face and then press or pull the 3D geometry out of the design. Users can even specify a draft angle and add a chamfer or fillet to the geometry being modified.
