Overall Satisfaction with TurboCAD

TurboCAD came in at a great price with a relatively small learning curve. We use TurboCAD in our day-to-day operation where we do drawings for clients' approvals and for production via our laser cutters. This package has addressed things like errors in design by having a blocks feature that once drawn and correct will remain so throughout the design process.
  • Easy to use
  • Detailing is simple
  • Toolbar is easy to understand and navigate.
  • Shortcut keys more in line with AutoCAD.
  • 3D rendering could be simpler.
  • Updated interface.
  • Well priced
  • Fairly easy to learn
  • Easy enough to use
  • Ability to render quotes.
  • Ability to supply complete drawings.
  • Easy to use interface provides a faster design time window.
TurboCAD is a well-priced solution for a small business, it comes standard with 3D modeling compared to DraftSight which does not. The user interface could be updated along with industry-standard shortcut keys but for the number of drawings we do, this package fills the gap. The DXF / DWG feature could be worked on too, as above, trying to get in line with other packages like AutoCAD & DraftSight would make the whole package better. All in all, I believe that TurboCAD has a valid foothold in the CAD industry.

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.
