It also has some great new import and export options. TurboCAD Mac Pro v7 now works with AutoCAD 2013 files (DWG) as well as AutoCAD LT files of the same vintage. And there are new improved surface utilities that calculate intersections of an infinite plane and a curve, surface or solid.Īrchitecturally TurboCAD Mac Pro v7 gains a new Roof tool and new Slab tool for automating the 3D production of hip and flat roofs over walls and for generating slabs with offsets and controlled thickness. Another new feature is the ability to project a curve to a plane.
This tool works in two, three and four point modes. Users now have a new Conic tools set which allows them the ability to obtain the curve generated by the intersection of a cone with a plane.
#OPEN TURBOCAD MAC PRO .TCP UPDATE#
While we will not cover every single new feature in this update we definitely want to mention some remaining modeling updates. (see image 12) We would also like to point out that transparency (not a new feature) is set at the object level on the Inspector palette. There are visibility options for scale, move and rotation, as well as a planar option for the rotation planes, visibility and so forth. The Gripper tool can be customized to your needs at the Inspector palette level.
(see image 10)ġ2 – The Gripper Tool is on the Inspector palette, a good location, and includes several settings options. The user can set the line thickness and color (e.g.: bright red!) and all such markups go by default onto a new “markup” layer automatically. The tools include lines, circles, text, text in boxes and cloud. New in TurboCAD Mac Pro v7 is a brand new Redlining Markup toolset. Moreover, once the manipulation is accomplished the designer gets more views to review the feedback of the change.
#OPEN TURBOCAD MAC PRO .TCP ISO#
Getting back to our direct manipulation of the spline curve in the glass stemware example above, having a side view and multiple iso views at the same time allows the designer to more easily adjust the curvature. The truth is this is very useful to the intuitive design process. It is nice to see IMSI/Design implement such a feature. This is one of those features we have wished existed for many years in many of the other leading CAD programs on the Mac. This is a great feature addition to version 7. 09 – Flexible viewports enable different types of views at the same time.
