Key Features
AI-Powered Copilot Design Partner
Copilot is an AI‑driven companion built into TurboCAD®, designed to make navigation easier, speed up common tasks, and provide useful guidance as you work. Copilot is available at two levels: TurboCAD® Copilot Help and TurboCAD® Copilot Professional. Copilot Help uses Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) to bring information from the TurboCAD® User Guide, FAQs, YouTube tutorials, New Features documentation, press materials, blogs, and selected User Forum categories directly into your workflow.
Core Design & Modeling
TurboCAD® Mac delivers precision drafting with LogiCursor™ technology that intuitively guides your cursor to optimal points, while the Gripper Tool streamlines edits via drag-and-drop. Customizable rectangular, polar, and isometric grids ensure flawless alignment for both 2D and 3D workflows.
Layer & Symbol Management
Optimize productivity with Layer Sets, enabling seamless saves of layer configurations, views, and zoom levels. The Symbol Manager further accelerates workflows by organizing reusable components, ensuring consistency across projects. Together, they reduce clutter and enhance precision in large-scale designs.
Drafting & Documentation
Professional-grade tools like 20+ dimension styles, spell check, and single-click hatches accelerate technical documentation. Seamlessly integrate reference images with bitmap import and maintain industry-standard accuracy across plans.
Architectural & Woodworking Specialized Tools
Design parametric doors/windows, composite walls, and detailed woodworking joints (dovetails, dado cuts) with customizable edge treatments for bespoke craftsmanship.
Industry-Standard File Interoperability
TurboCAD® Mac ensures seamless collaboration with support for 30+ file formats (e.g., DWG, STEP, SketchUp, PDF, STL). This enables effortless import/export with tools like AutoCAD®, Adobe Illustrator®, and CNC machines, streamlining cross-platform workflows for architects, engineers, and manufacturers.
New & Improved Features
Dark/Light Mode
The Dark and Light mode graphics have been updated throughout the interface, improving the appearance of dialogs, menus, and tool palettes. These updates provide clearer contrast, better readability, and a more consistent visual experience across both themes, ensuring that the interface remains comfortable to use in a wide range of lighting conditions.
Copilot Render
Copilot Render turns CAD drawings into expressive visual concepts using natural‑language prompts. It generates styled renderings directly on top of the existing geometry, supports multiple variations, and enables rapid exploration of materials, lighting, and design alternatives. It also allows adding, removing, or modifying shapes, works with 2D and 3D files, and can use reference images for materials and style—making it ideal for early‑stage visualization, reviews, and presentation‑ready concepts.
Tool Icon Interface
The tool icons have been updated to scalable SVG graphics, delivering crisp, high‑resolution visuals on modern displays. In addition, the interface now supports separate icon sets for light and dark theme modes.
License Options
Perpetual licenses enable users to download once and own it forever. Ideally suited for users who need a single license or users who feel they may not need to upgrade each year.
We also offer Annual and Tri-annual licensing options.
