Improved Selection Info Palette

Puts all the information about an object in one place and is now integrated with the Part Tree—no more jumping back and forth between palettes.

New Parametric Stairs - Straight

Straight stairs can now be created in just 3 clicks and are fully parametric. Specify material, stair dimensions and more.

New Face-to-Face Lofting

Select two faces on different 3D objects and instantly build a lofting body to unite them.

New Branch Lofting

New Branched Loft Tool, for one “trunk” and two or more “branches,” manages both simple and compound profiles, minimizing what once took several operations.

Terrain Tool

Want to place your home or building design on a hillside or uneven terrain? It’s a snap with the new Terrain tool. Create terrains from scratch or by importing Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) data from standard file formats.

New Google SketchUp Support

Allows you to import your conceptual design files into TurboCAD, then quickly create precision designs with TurboCAD’s advanced tools.

Compound Profiles in Blocks

A major enhancement to block handling, Compound Profiles can be generated, stored, and edited in a block section, saving valuable time.

Smart Dimension Tool

Faster, more efficient annotation of your drawing, automatically recognizing and creating the correct dimension type for:

• Linear dimensions for parallel lines
• Linear dimensions for orthogonal lines
• Angular dimensions for any angle
• Radial Dimensions for arcs
• Diameter Dimensions for circles
• Even add dimensions to 3D objects in Rendered or Hidden Line modes

New Geometric Alignment Aids

These aids offer improved snap indicators and superior auxiliary line presentation. Plus, we’ve improved many of our snaps including:

• Improved Tangent Snaps
• Improved Projection Snaps
• Improved Parallel Line Snaps
• Improved Perpendicular Line Snaps
• Improved Tangent from Arc Snaps

New Window & Door Schedules

Adding a window or door into your drawing dynamically updates the schedule and you have complete control over how text will appear.

New AutoCAD 2008 Support

Offers easy file sharing and file compatibility with updated DXF/DWG file import/export.

New Improved Part Tree

Major improvements include: Suppress any operation for “what if” scenarios Delay update Hide portions of the Part Tree for re-rendering Integrated with the Selection Information Palette putting all information about an object in one place

New Wall Dimension Tool

Quickly assign dimensions to any straight wall, including dimension thickness. Place dimensions in parallel or at an angle from wall.

New Delayed Paperspace Render

Don’t be slowed down waiting for a render to happen. With TurboCAD Pro 14, you control when and how your Viewports in Paperspace will render.

Dimension & 3D Layers

Created by default and can be turned off/on easily.

New Chamfer Angle Option

Specify the exact angle to be used in the Chamfer Command.

Improved Multi-line Text

Indent lines and paragraphs or create any number of tab stops.

Region Improvement

Creating a region from selected objects or by 2D Boolean operations is now up to 8 times faster.

Improved Linear Dimensions Import from DWG

Better, more enhanced conversion of linear dimensions from an AutoCAD drawing into a TurboCAD drawing.

New Constraint Tool Option Angular Dimension for Arcs

Change the value of the angular dimension and watch it automatically update

Extended Node editing for Cubes, Cylinders, & Cones

New Foreground Hidden Line

Open up a world of presentation possibilities by overlaying hidden line renders on top of draft and quality rendered images.

New ACIS v16 Solid Modeling Engine

Upgraded from ACIS v15, you’ll find many more improvements like improved healing when importing models and more.
