    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.

    Cura is well suited with complex parts in the different business of our customers. For example Automotiv or mechanical engineering. The drag and drop feature is simple and verry fast. The import of .step. files doesen`t work without plug in. We create always a .stl file wit our CAD software at the first

    Pros
    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.

    Usability
    IMSI Design
    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

    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.
