New PDF Underlay

Boost productivity with the new ability to import a vector PDF drawing and use it as a tracing layer with snaps. (Pro and Platinum only)

New Purge tool

New TurboCAD 18 makes it easier to remove unused objects from Model Space and Paper Space with this simple yet powerful new tool. (Pro and Platinum only)

New Ray tool

Create rays on the construction line layer to more clearly define your construction geometry. Construction lines are also now editable, and can be edited into rays. (All levels)

Enhanced Layers

TurboCAD 18 layers are more AutoCAD compatible, including a new layers dialog based upon 'Design Center'. Users also now have the ability to turn on/off Layers per Viewport. (All levels)

Improved Drafting Palette

TurboCAD’s powerful drafting palette can now be locked when inactive to disable updates of drafting objects. This excludes unnecessary drafting recalculations on each step saving time redrawing the model. This palette also now distinguishes between 'Surface' and 'ACIS Body' drafting objects automatically, & a Section Line Depth setting was added. (Pro and Platinum only)

Improved Fillet (2D) tool

The updated 2D Fillet tool can re-fillet neighboring line segments, creating a new arc segment, tangent to those line segments. It works with polyline with arc segments too. (All levels)

Additional Enhancements
