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.

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 And now it is obsolete too.

I also could not install this program on my iMac. Tried for hours! Error message stated that Admin status required to install and gave no option to enter password. As other reviewer stated, could not find any support on forums, instructions that came with program did not address this problem. I am waiting replies from TurboCAD support, but not holding my breath. Thanks Amazon for having a great return policy. I should have read the reviews before purchasing. My bad.

I never could install it. Searched their support forums, many have the same problem. No good way to contact support, no help, complete waste of money as it sits in a box with no way for me to use it. BE CAREFUL!

TurboCAD is a complex cad program for the mac for a very low price. A little hard to learn at first if your not an architect but any good program is

it's not autocadd, but it's for a mac. it's ok, saves files as dwg. so, you can transport files to/from autocadd. that's the biggest plus. it's not autocadd, but for a mac, it works fine.
