5.0 out of 5 stars Best CAD package I've ever used., December 10, 2006

By	Zeb Weedrick (Furnessville, IN United States) - See all my reviews

I've been using CAD since 1991. First FastCad, then AutoCAD, starting with r13 back in '96.

I wanted a CAD program to use on my Mac, to create models for importation into Bryce. I downloaded the TurboCAD 15-day demo from their site. It fits the bill!

I believe it is much better than (the overrated and overpriced) AutoCAD. Case in point: during my day job, I use AutoCAD 2002. I needed to draw a simple spiral, to show the end view of a spring. AutoCAD doesn't do spirals. TurboCAD does (and helixes, too). I came home, created a spiral on TurboCAD, exported the drawing in AutoCAD's .dwg format, and took it to work. The day was saved.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works in Leopard, June 3, 2008

By	Drew Mc "drewmack" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It works fine under 10.5 Leopard, but there is a trick to installing it:

The main TurboCad installer works fine, but to to install the Symbols Library you have to bypass their installer app because it doesn't work in 10.5. What I ended up doing was mounting the installer from the disc and then right-clicked to reveal "view package contents". From there just navigate to: Contents/Installer Items/Symbols and just drag the folder over to replace to one already in the application folder.

If you have any trouble be sure and check the permission settings for the TurboCad folder. It's a bit of trouble, but for ten bucks, who cares!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice one, but consider some time to get used to, August 23, 2007

By	M. A. Lago (chile) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very nice software for 3d and 2d work, specially considering it's price. However, as with any other, you should always consider the time to learn it. Sometimes you need 1 simple thing, but since you don't know where it is you loose a lot of time searching for help.
