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

This review is from: Turbocad Mac Pro 2D/3D V 2.0 (CD-ROM)

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

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth The Price, June 26, 2008

By 

DG "CAD & Design" (CT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Turbocad Mac Pro 2D/3D V 2.0 (CD-ROM)

TC Mac Pro V2 is well worth the price if you are looking for a low cost highly capable drafting/modeling program for the Mac. I was very surprised to see how many features it had. Snaps, Layers, Symbols, 3D symbols, Bill of materials, multiple scales, it's all there.

Coming from an AutoCAD background ther was a learning curve, but not that long of a curve. You can find video tutorials with the ViaCAD series of demos from punch software. TC Mac is closely related to ViaCAD Pro except it does not have the ability to apply materials to models (yet) or the cost of a few extra hundreds of dollars.
