TurboCAD Reviews 

TurboCAD has received numerous encouraging Press Reviews. Here are just a few examples:

  • Cadalyst (Oct 2007) - TurboCAD Pro 14 - "It combines great power, a low price, and ease of use to make what you do even better..."
     
  • CAD User (Aug 2007) - TurboCAD Pro 14 - "TurboCAD 14 Pro for Architects is a seriously useful tool that provides a cost-effective and easy-to-use bridge from 2D plan drawings to 3D modelling..."
     
  • AEC Magazine (Aug 2007) - TurboCAD 14 - August, 2007 - "TurboCAD development has been quite dedicated in following AutoCAD’s functionality and offering a bigger bang for the buck..."
     
  • APC Magazine (Aug 2006) - TurboCAD Pro 12 rated 4 out of 5 stars "highly recommended thumbs up....All told, TurboCAD Professional 12 is a lightweight, comprehensive design package that would suit engineering and architecture professionals looking for a solid alternative to AutoCAD (without the hefty price tag)”
     
  • AECnews.com (Jul 2006) - "TurboCAD Keeps The Faith"
     
  • Cadalyst.com/Catalyst Magazine (Jul 2006) - "Mature 2D and 3D package gives the mechanical crowd and architects good value.....The interface change alone is worth the upgrade for either version--the icon-to-workspace balance is near perfection."
     
  • Desktop Engineering Magazine - "When horsepower is less important than cost, IMSI’s latest introduction offers some surprising capabilities."
     
  • Hans-Jurgen - "In the last 8 years that I used TurboCAD, today is the first time I felt that TurboCAD is no longer a cheap copy of AutoCAD. The challenge is now inventor not AutoCAD or AutoCAD Lt."
     
  • Dr. Joel Orr, Cyon Research - "With its TurboCAD line, IMSI has been demostrating for years that the drafting needs of many thousands of engineering and architectural professionals can be more than adequately met with software costing only a couple hundred dollars."
     
  • Machine Design.com - "Each area gets ample attention, making TurboCAD a flexible, affordable, all-purpose CAD package."

Customer Review from the April 2007 Australian TurboCAD Seminars:

  • Hans Heck - TurboCAD Seminar attendee, Sydney Tuesday 24 April 2007 - "Thanks for the invite to yesterday's seminar. I found it interesting and enjoyed talking to other Turbocad users (hence my email).

    I am amazed at how many people who use Turbocad professionally, still only use 2D. Turbocad is a full 3D package and once you have made the transition (quite easy) to 3D you realise the enormous benefits of using 3D...

    ...In summary the strength of Turbocad is its 3D capability and that is what I would be going out to sell. Somehow you need to get the message out there. The complex examples shown in the web site are great in showing the capability of Turbocad 3D and you cannot help but be awe-inspired however it is about the same as hearing a great musician play- great to listen to but I will never be able to do this! You don't need to be able to reach these levels to tap the great benefits of 3D Turbocad and that is what needs to be put out there. Whenever I talk to people about how easy 3D is they are inspired to make the change from 2D....
