New Features in TurboCAD® Mac 16
AI & Automation Enhancements
A new AI-powered Part Creator is now available exclusively through TurboCAD® Mac Copilot Professional, enabling users to generate intelligent parametric parts such as gears, screws, nuts, and threaded components with customizable parameters like diameter, helix angle, and tooth count, significantly reducing time spent on repetitive mechanical design tasks.
Performance Improvements
TurboCAD® Mac 16 delivers substantial performance gains across file handling and rendering, offering up to 12× faster redraws, 22× faster file loads, 5× faster PDF/DWG imports, and 25× faster printing of large files, making complex projects more manageable and responsive than ever before.
Design & Modeling Updates
Sheet metal tools now include Base, Flange, Hem, Rolled Hem, and Unbend functions that simulate real-world fabrication processes. The Arc Slot Polygon Tool allows creation of polygons using arcs as defining edges, adding flexibility to organic shape creation. An integrated ISO Part Library gives direct access to standardized 3D components, while batch export enables saving individual parts from multi-part files for better organization and sharing.
User Interface & Customization
The custom tools interface has been redesigned to support larger m×n icon arrays such as 3×20 or 10×10 layouts, improving accessibility and workspace customization. Additionally, a new edit dialog simplifies tool modification, making adjustments more intuitive and efficient.
Interoperability & File Support
The SketchUp importer now supports the latest versions of SketchUp, with automatic glass shaders applied to transparent materials for more realistic rendering.
Language Support
TurboCAD® Mac 16 now supports English, French, and German languages, ensuring broader accessibility for international users and allowing designers from different regions to work comfortably in their preferred language without translation barriers.
