New Features
Automatic Callouts
A new tool “Automatic Callouts” has been added to the Dimension menu in TurboCAD 2023. The purpose of this tool is to automatically add callouts (leader dimensions) to the drawing in just a few clicks. These callouts can be arranged in circular formation or along a polyline. After callouts are generated, a BOM table is created with callout details.
Hidden Line removal for Block insertion
A new option “Remove Hidden Line” has been added to the Block insertion properties. On enabling this property, the removal of the hidden rows is applied to the block content. Two other properties, “Show Invisible Lines” and “Show Intersections”, become available on activating “Remove Hidden Line”.
LightWorks Plugin
TurboCAD 2023 now supports LightWorks plugin as an additional render mode option. LightWorks is activated using the IDRM via Install Shield custom action. The LightWorks Plug-in for TurboCAD Deluxe enhances the program’s lighting, luminance, and photorealistic rendering capabilities for more robust, high-powered renders. This plug-in integrates directly with the TurboCAD material editor and Desgin Director.
TurboCAD Deluxe Reviews
"I've used TurboCAD for 15 years or so, and this version keeps the tradition of performance excellence unchanged. I can't figure out what keeps AutoCAD in business."
Steven B.
"With its TurboCAD line, IMSI has been demonstrating for years that the drafting needs of many thousands of engineering and architectural professionals can be more than adequately met with software costing only a couple hundred dollars."
Joel O.
"The makers of TurboCAD have done a great job making the type of program (CAD) that I was intimidated by very easy to use. It has the power of other programs priced in the high hundreds if not thousands."
