1.0 out of 5 stars Dumb Buy, January 8, 2010

Serves me right for buying on the cheap. Could not install on new Imac. ISMI said not good on Leopard.
Did get started with install on my Mac Mini but got stuck when asked for some sort of Admin number in addition to the Serial Number.
My experience so annoying I would hesitate buying anything from ISMI.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst software I've ever purchased., February 24, 2010

This review is from: Turbocad Mac V3 2D Cad for Mac [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

I tried to get the free trial and couldn't get the email response with the link. Then I called customer service to have them directly email it. Nothing.

Like an idiot, I just bought it hoping for the best because I needed to get a drawing out and had to do it on CAD.

This software is the most ill thought out, most non-intuitive, piece of junk I've ever used. I'm an architectural designer for 30 years now and am not new to drafting or CAD (AutoCad and VersaCad experience). I am experienced in photoshop, indesign, filemaker, coded software, multiple graphics programs, html editors, etc.; in other words, not a neophyte in the computer field Mac and PC.

You can't even input 1/4" or 1/2" scale! It doesn't display the inch symbol (") in the dimensions... the list is endless

This program is simply ridiculous.

Save yourself a lot of wasted time and money.

THIS PROGRAM ONLY WORKS ON OS 10.4 AND 10.5 -- IT WILL NOT WORK ON 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD (OR LATER)

That said, it is a terrible product. You would not want to use it even if you could. It is difficult to learn. It is impossible to use. And now it is obsolete too.
