#TURBOCAD DELUXE FOR MAC REVIEW SOFTWARE#
All in all, I would warn not to take this software too seriously. TurboCAD Deluxe 2D/3D for Mac is the complete precision design solution making it easy to design anything.

(Even today with the big sale.) I do hate it when companies ignore early adapters.
#TURBOCAD DELUXE FOR MAC REVIEW PRO#
Furthermore, I have found enough workarounds, though it pains me to keep deleting extra walls, that I might have even upgraded to TurboCAD Pro if they didn't want to charge $200 for the privilege. That being said, I paid $130 when v.7 first came out, and I might have been happier if I had paid $50 less. It took me a little bit to get used to the UI, but Id say I only needed a few hours to I figure out the basics (granted, I understand the CAD paradigm). Several of the features do not work as instructed in the manual.Įxported 3D drawings import fairly well into Lightwave for rendering, but TurboCAD's library textures do not export with the drawing, and cannot be accessed outside of TurboCAD. TurboCAD Mac Designer (2D) v7: This program does feel like a real CAD program. Compared to TurboCAD Mac Deluxe, the Pro version has a much better 64-bit user interface, integrated Redway drawing engine, Page Layout wizard, BOM and mating tools. Doors and windows do not propagate when using the 2D to 3D tools, even in the tutorial model. TurboCAD Mac Pro (Best AutoCAD Alternative For Mac) TurboCAD Mac Pro is a more powerful version of TurboCAD Mac Deluxe and provides a cost effective alternative to AutoCAD. AutoCAD files are hit and miss on import, sometimes scattered all over the drawing after importing. Undo would invariably insert duplicates of my walls, which I would have to delete time after time. It features layers and layer sets for easier design editing and organizing, a multi-step drawing wizard for quick set up of your drawings, custom toolbar creation for instant access of your most often used tools, and markup and redlining tools for objects. I found this software (TurboCAD Deluxe v7) buggy under Mountain Lion OS. TurboCAD Mac Deluxe provides an array of tools for creating 2D and 3D illustrations, floor plan layouts, and diagrams.
