TurboCAD 2018

TurboCAD 2018 was released earlier this year. Below is a quick overview on some of the new features and improvements:

The main improvement is that LightWorks is back and now RedSDK is the option and not the default. In practical terms this means that rendering will again be straight forward, easy to understand and edit. It will also cut down on unexplained glitches that some people occasionally encountered.
The ability to import PDFs as vectors is improved in the Pro and Expert versions, although still unavailable in Deluxe.
There is a facility to be able to snap to the mid point of any two points, saves having to draw a line and snap to the mid-point. The tool is under Modes.

Not too many new features but a focus on reliability with a few very sensible and practical new tools. Follow this link for more on new and improved features in TurboCAD 2018.
