Powerful Lighting & Rendering Options When it’s time to present your ideas, TurboCAD Mac Pro delivers stunning photorealistic renderings. Apply materials and decals. Set lighting, shadowing, reflectance, roughness and environmental effects. Then render with the powerful LightWorks Photorealistic Rendering Engine. Sketch rendering options are also available for a hand-drawn look, appropriate in the early stages of conceptual design. Flexible CAD & Graphic Design Formats Easily import existing designs from popular CAD and graphic design file formats, including new AutoCAD® 2013 .DWG. Just as easily, export your precision designs and technical drawings from TurboCAD to other CAD formats, or choose a popular desktop publishing formats such as EPS TIFF, CGM and more, to create brochures or other marketing materials. Even print design to your specifications with new options for better control of how the printed document will look. Key Features The Ultimate in Design Productivity TurboCAD® Mac Pro makes it easy to design in 2D or 3D with a setup wizard, customizable toolbars and the most usability features including: Context Sensitive Help System to get help with any tool instantly Gripper Tool to dynamically move, rotate, & scale objects in 2D or 3D Viewport Layouts display multiple views of your drawing at once 3D Connexion Space Mouse as well as traditional mouse support Drawingd Wizard to set up your drawing, define unit format, paper size, print, drawing scale annotation settings, text and dimension Custom Toolbar Creation for quick access to your favorite tools Layers and Layer Sets to organize and more easily edit your design Over 38,000 2D/3D symbols and parts for AEC, Mechanical, Electrical, Process Plant and Piping 1.5 Hours of Video Tutorials along with step by step guides and sample models. Complete Set of 2D Drafting Tools TurboCAD Mac Pro provides unlimited 2D design options. Choose from a number 2D drafting tools including line, arc, curve, circle, ellipse, and spline tools. Access text, dimensioning tools, modifier and transformation tools for easy editing. Here is a sampling of 2D tools. Polygon Tools – Slot polygon, N-Sided polygon, and polygon from curves tool. Conic Tools, a.k.a. conic section tools, allow users to easily obtain a curve generated by the intersection of a cone with a plane. Connect Curve Tool - Join Option - The Join Curve option replaces the two curves you select with a new spline curve. This tool will also join two polylines Sketch Spline Tool – samples points as the cursor moves and creates a smooth spline through the sampled data. Once selected this tool has two options, the Sketch Spline tool and Sketch on a Surface tool. Fair Spline Tool - The Fair Spline command provides a tool to globally smooth a curve. Fairing a spline optimally moves control vertices to locations that minimize large curvature variations. Powerful 2D/3D Architectural Design Tools Create professional architectural design with self-healing, auto-dimension walls, parametric doors and windows, roof and slab tools, as well as thousands of symbols, materials, decals, and pre-drawn floorplans. Read More about Architectural Design Tools Surface and ACIS® Solid Modeling Tools Quickly model complex 3D objects with advanced design and modification tools. Primitives, complex and advanced surface tools, as well as surface modifiers and transformation tools are included for surface modeling. Utilize the newly updated ACIS® R24 solid modeling engine to create realistic, complex 3D objects as well as data crucial for engineers. Read More about Surface and Solid Modeling Assembly Tools A suite of assembly tools speed 3D design while snaps and alignment aids ensure accuracy. Assembly Connect - connects one solid to another at a specified connection point. Assembly Mate - Mate planar faces. You can specify an offset distance between mated faces. Assembly Align - Align a face of two solid objects and supports cylindrical, spherical and planar faces. Assembly Insert - Align and mate the faces of two solid objects. The align faces must be cylindrical and the mate faces must be planar. This tool is very useful for inserting bolts into holes. Part Tree TurboCAD Mac Pro offers a fully editable, hierarchal part tree for Solids and Surfaces. The Part Tree can be viewed as a selective UNDO/REDO tool: adjust the parameters of a bend, for example, without having to UNDO the design steps that have been made to the model since the parameter of that object were originally set. Each subsequent step will be applied correctly on the newly updated geometry. Powerful Photorealistic and Sketch Rendering Add materials, lighting, and environmental effects to create stunning photorealistic renderings. Select a sketch render styles like cartoon, color wash, pencil, mosaic and more for an artistic effect. Read More about Rendering Tools Printing, Publishing & PDF The Print by Layer Tool is extremely useful when you have multiple sets of data within one file that needs printing. For less complex jobs, a use the Print Window option to simply drag the mouse over the area of your design you wish to print. Use page layouts to publish your design from up to 4 different view angles on a single page, controlling text size and more. Save designs as single or multi-page PDFs for sending via email, or export to one of the many desktop publishing formats for placement in brochures and more. Superior File Compatibility A large number of industry standard formats make collaboration easy including the latest AutoCAD 2013 DWG, 3DS, Adobe® EPS, Illustrator® and Photoshop®, DXF, IGES, PICT, PNG, ACIS SAT, STL, STEP, TIFF, Trimble SketchUp and more. Read More about File Compatibility New Features 64-Bit Compatible TurboCAD Mac 8 is now fully 64-bit compatible, so you can load, process, and render much larger parts and models, as previously you were limited to around 2.3 GB of model data in virtual memory. The result is smoother workflow, faster drawing display and manipulation, and the ability to work with parts and models of nearly any size. New ACIS R24 The powerful ACIS 3D solid modeling engine and file filters in TurboCAD Mac Pro have been upgraded to R24. The version fully supports 64 bit DLLs for better performance. This update also enhances several of the 3D solid modeling features based on this engine as well as the core translators for improved interoperability when file sharing. New Quad Mesh Tools A new tool palette has been added to TurboCAD Mac Pro v8 with an entirely new set of tools for creating quad mesh primitives, extrusions, coverts, lathes, and meshes by points. Improved 3D Linear Duplicate The Linear Duplicate tool creates copies of an object based on specifying rows, columns, and spacings. Improved 3D Polar Array For more challenging design tasks, the Linear Duplicate tool can be used to create patterns of 2D or 3D objects in relation to a primary point or object. Apply elevation offsets to quickly create a more complex design, like a spiral staircase. Enhanced Printing TurboCAD Mac Pro 8 greatly increases your ability to print much larger, more data intensive files. Improved Deep Select This improvement allows you to independently select and modify elements within a group. New Cut List BOMs Now you can assign Cut List Properties (Description, QTY, Length, Width and Thickness) to a BOM. The new Cut List Properties template as been added to the predefined BOM data set tables. Objects assigned this set of attributes will display them when the BOM is placed into the drawing or model sheet. New Customizable Grids You now have an option to display the workplane grid as a polar or ISO grid. You can also change the grid orientation by any angle. Use the new Grid Properties dialog box under the Workplane menu to explore the different options. Improved Space Mouse Support Updated support for a SpaceMouse using the latest drivers. Improved Keyboard Shortcuts You can now use shortcuts keys within the Concept Explorer, to set the gripper location, and for toggling mesh controls. Stability Enhancements TurboCAD Mac Pro v8 now uses Cocoa Compiled Code and CoreGraphics. This major code rewrite replaces the old Carbon framework, phased out by Apple, resulting in a more stable application. Improved DWG/DXF Support for AutoCAD 2013 Files filters have been updated to support import and export of the latest AutoCAD 2013/2014 file formats. Improved STL filter Better support of collapsed facets for more reliable output to 3D printers. System Requirements Macintosh® OS X 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9, Intel® Mac®, 4 GB of hard disk space, 1 GB RAM or greater, Mouse Pointing Device (wheel button recommended). TurboCAD Mac v8 supports Apple’s 64 bit architecture.
