"Used to be powerful but now better alternatives available for cheaper"

3/5

What do you like best about TurboCAD?

I like the simplicity and presence of basic features such as project, extrude, explode, and dimensions. It has all the CAD functionality that I need for my day to day work tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboCAD?

Over the last few updates, TurboCAD lost its simplicity in my opinion and got loaded with more and more features that I do not use, making it harder to find the ones I do use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TurboCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving problems like creating basic drawings and floor plans for clients, updating these drawings, and sharing them with my clients and customers. The benefits I have realized are to be able to do this in a timely and relatively pain-free manner, and train others without much technical background to use this software.

"Not for trial and error learners"

3.5/5

What do you like best about TurboCAD?

It's extremely simple and easy to draw and scale, Drawing and 3D modelling is at finger tips and it's very affordable compared to other softwares Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboCAD?

Though the tools are very easy once you get familiar with it, It can't be learned by trial and error. It requires an expert guidance or atleast YouTube classes. And rendering takes a lot of time so you have to have the best workstation in market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"turbocad 5 star review"

5/5

What do you like best about TurboCAD?

TurboCad has been an important apparatus for me. I work with a constrained spending plan and don't invest much energy at the drafting board. TurboCad has been an entirely able program addressing the necessities that I have. I am not utilizing the most present rendition, however I am not utilizing every one of the capacities in the adaptation I am utilizing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboCAD?

It requires a long time to get great with it. It's a hard programming to adapt yet there is a great deal you can do with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"TurboCAD is way more capable than you might imagine."

5/5

What do you like best about TurboCAD?

Ease of use. If you are new to 3D cad then you have a steep learning curve, but once you get to grip with the basics TurboCAD is very intuitive.

The drawing tools are all icon driven and most are well designed, leaving you in no doubt what they are for. Once selected the prompts at the bottom of the screen guide you further. Modify tools allow you to create complex geometry and refine 3D models. You are only limited by your imagination, I have not come across a design that I could not draw. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboCAD?

TurboCAD can be extensively customised, but this is not easy to understand. Without a working knowledge of the underlying code some custom settings defy explanation and there is always this nagging doubt the adjusted parameter is actually optimised for you particular needs. Customisation is however a very powerful part of TurboCad Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"After a year and two months I am very satisfied."

5/5

What do you like best about TurboCAD?

The program has become an extension of my creative mind. When I would try to describe the why's and what's of an idea, you cannot project my 3D vision from my head in words. As a long time engineer, used to using 2D and "projections", this has become my standard. Once one gets past the learning curve and the quirks of this software, (all software has issues) this program has everything I need and more than I need. I am very satisfied with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboCAD?

I wish there was better rendering. I can get it to look quite good, but not as "life like" as I want. I am looking into making my own rendering images to use in my drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TurboCAD:

If you have intelligence and a good mathematical mind this is a breeze to use. If you don't understand coordinate systems and using math, maybe not. Most engineers have those skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TurboCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Communicating concepts to the factory. Factory workers do not understand 2D drawings any more. They are not trained in "blueprint" reading as they once were. So photos and 3D is the best way to go. The precision of the drawings is great for design work. TC has no limits that I have encountered for design work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Still a beginner but good support."

4/5

What do you like best about TurboCAD?

There are so many different videos or programs to help a beginner go through and learn everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TurboCAD?

The different features can be very difficult to understand if you aren't familiar with CAD drawings. There aren't any explanations of different buttons without calling or finding a video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TurboCAD:

Even if you don't know what exactly you are doing there are plenty of support options to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TurboCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this to help draw up building schematics that would otherwise take forever in another program. It saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
