Key Features
2D Design and Editing
TurboCAD is rich in professional 2D/3D design tools and drawing aids that speed design. Create views and viewports of any size and shape. Access extensive paper space and printing options. Multi-select drawing tool, dimension tools, and more.
3D Surface Modeling
TurboCAD Professional includes a complete set of 3D surface modeling and editing tools making it ideal for both single part and small assembly mechanical designs. Read more about 3D Surface Modeling in TurboCAD.
PDF Underlay Tool
Allows you to insert pages of PDF files into your drawings to use as references. The underlay appears as the bitmap data of the PDF.
Powerful Drafting Palette
Create associative views, 2D sections, and detailed views that can be updated in real-time – even from an Xref. Works with both ACIS® Solids and Surface models.
Sections & Elevations
Employ specialized tools for Architectural Drawing, allowing you to quickly create and edit walls, windows and door openings, and roofs. Use horizontal, vertical, section- line tools to create section-elevations.
Architectural & GIS Tools
An integrated suite of architectural tools are included, such a parametric architectural objects that are AutoCAD® Architecture (ACA) compatible so that .DWG models with ACA extensions may be read, modified, and documented as needed. Read more about TurboCAD Architectural Tools.
New & Improved Features
A Faster Way to Find What You Need
Command Finder helps you stay fast and precise by showing the right tools as soon as you begin typing, with clear visual icons that make each command instantly recognizable. Even large or complex toolsets become easy to navigate, so you spend less time searching and more time moving your project forward.
Views That Evolve With Your Ideas
The Drafting Palette gives you a smoother, more flexible way to manage drawing views, keeping your workflow uninterrupted even as projects shift and develop. You can add or remove objects on the fly as your model evolves, with dimensions, callouts, and layout details staying exactly where they belong so drawings remain clean and production‑ready. When deeper exploration is needed, you can jump directly to the associated 3D geometry for fast refinement. Because drafting views stay connected to the evolving model—from early concepts to final details, your drawings always reflect your latest thinking without extra steps or rework.
Unified Multi-Language Installer
TurboCAD uses a single installer that includes all supported languages in one package. During setup, users simply choose their preferred interface language, and TurboCAD installs with that selection applied. All languages are already part of the installer, so users can switch between them at any time directly within TurboCAD without reinstalling. This eliminates the need for separate installers, simplifies distribution, and makes it easy to expand language support in the future. The Unified Multi‑Language Installer delivers a consistent setup experience with built‑in language selection.
Graphic on Path
Graphic on Path provides an intuitive way to position and shape objects along complex curves, making it easy to create flowing layouts, decorative patterns, technical diagrams, and signage elements with precise control. As objects move along a selected path, they automatically align to the curve’s tangent for smooth, accurate placement, with options to flip orientation, adjust rotation, and explore variations without interrupting the workflow. Local menu controls such as interactive previews while dragging, tangent‑based alignment, instant direction reversal, and support for grouped content offer additional flexibility, while refined rotation tools help achieve clean, polished results even in complex curved arrangements.
IGES Import
TurboCAD Professional includes a new ODA‑based IGES importer that supports reliable, industry‑standard file exchange. TurboCAD Platinum continues to offer the high‑precision ACIS‑powered IGES translator for advanced geometry handling. Together, these options provide accurate IGES import aligned with the needs of different professional design environments.
Copilot Render
Copilot Render transforms CAD drawings into expressive visual concepts using simple natural‑language prompts. By describing the desired style, lighting, or environment, designers can generate concept renderings that appear directly on top of the existing drawing without altering the underlying geometry. Each rendered image is displayed inside the active drawing view, making it easy to explore ideas while continuing to work in the CAD environment, and multiple variations can be created and compared to experiment with materials, lighting moods, and different architectural or mechanical styles. Every render is saved through Copilot Named Views, allowing designers to revisit earlier concepts or switch between visual directions at any time, creating a flexible workflow where conceptual imagery and technical geometry stay connected within the same TurboCAD project.
