    Supernova is the best documentation platform on the market, having tested numerous alternatives, including the more popular zeroheight, Knapsack, etc. It's ideal for low-code solutions for brand guidelines and detailed component documentation. Their automated exporter pipelines are the icing on the cake, enabling them to pull what you see in Figma and push it directly into your codebase.

    TurboCAD is well suited to a smaller budget, it is by no means the best there is but for the money, it fills the gap. Being an AutoCAD & DraftSight user I find the user interface a little old and the lack of common drafting industry shortcut keys a bit of a hindrance. However this product, TurboCAD gets the job done, other packages like DraftSight do not even come with an active 3D option on the cheaper end, standard license whereas TurboCAD does, even though it's a little clumsy to use.

    IMSI Design
    • Produces accurate drawings to scale, and with several ways to show the "views" to people in need of them at our factory.
    • Relatively easy to use, once you understand the toolset. You can draw anything with it.
    • Sending files to CNC machine shops to produce parts is easy with this program.
    • Sending to mold making companies works out well. Just ask them what file format they want and TurboCAD can give it to them.

    • Some of the load times are lengthy is there a way to streamline this?
    • Path Hatching and Object Trim could use a hot key
    • More intuitive layer management system

    It is occasionally buggy, but nowhere near as buggy as zeroheight.

    TurboCAD does all of the things we need it to do and some. The wide variety of options to create specificity in each of our projects is a large plus. The reason it was given a 9 is because the learning curve can be a little steep and sometimes certain processes are not as intuitive as they could be

    Supernova has best-in-class customer service. Our Figma library is a huge file and was unable to automatically sync with most platforms (including Supernova) - of all three platforms we tried, Supernova was the only one that actively assigned engineers to our case and offered a solution within a couple of days. They've been great partners.

    3DS Max is the one I use the most, the other two are good choices also. They have more online tutorials for helping learn them.
