TurboCAD Pro 15 Mechanical Edition builds on the power, precision, and performance of TurboCAD Pro with innovative tools tailored to mechanical engineers and designers. In addition to ACIS® solid modeling, this special edition offers enhanced 3D design tools for facet editing, lofting, bending and unbending of objects. Smart dimensioning and parametric design and editing tools take what once took several operations down to a few clicks. Expanded D-Cubed constraints include 2D pattern and linear pattern constraints to dramatically speed design revisions, while the Part Tree allows for editing in any given order. Import and export files in 27 CAD and Graphic file formats.

Advanced Mechanical Tools

Bend
Create accurate bends measuring from a specific distance from the edge. Set the axis, angle and radius and let TurboCAD do the rest.

Unbend
Great for sheet metal and fabrication shops, creates new unfolding object, leaving original in tact.

Tube Bend Tool
Make cylinders incredibly flexible. Simply choose where you want to bend to create models previously not possible.

Tube Flange Tool
Simply extend a tube and bend it in just a few clicks.

Flange Tool
Rapidly creates flat and bent flanges using the Smart Dimensioning tool for precision.

Parametric Holes with Boss Hole Type
Create parametric holes in objects in a few easy steps and modify the properties at any time including a option for easy parametric cylindrical bosses.

Imprint
Saves up to 3 steps by optionally combining Booleans with the Extrude Blend and Chamfer tools into one single procedure.

Horizontal & Vertical Constraints*
Locks line segments into vertical or horizontal modes thereby adding greater control during the design process.

Unfold Face
Unfolds faces of various ACIS objects such as cones, even those with a filleted rectangle as the base. This is also knows as obtaining the involute of a surface is great for working with materials sheet metal or fabrics.

Facet Offset Tool
Move a Facet in or out of its current position while updating all connecting surfaces.

2D Drafting

Advanced Drawing Tools
TurboCAD employs over 40 line, arc, curve and spline tools, so that no matter the situation you’ve got the right tool for the job. When used with TurboCAD’s snaps and drawing aids you’ll be able to quickly sketch your designs with no restrictions.

Constraints
Apply relationships between 2 or more objects via dimensional and geometric constraints for accurate designs which can then be adjusted easily. Make a change to one object in your design, constraints automatically update the drawing based on the rules you’ve set. Dimensionally drive your 2D profiles.

Select Copy & Editing Tools
TurboCAD comes equipped with tools to allow you to quickly select objects by type, color or by layer. Coupled with TurboCAD's array & copy tools you’ll save copious amounts of time. When used in conjunction with constraints provide huge power to your line-up.

Annotation Tools
Dimensioning and Text are vital to any CAD Drawing ours include:
Smart, Quick and Baseline which allow you to dimension automatically.
Associative Dimensions - freely move, rotate, or resize the associated objects and the dimension will retain its position relative to the objects, and the dimension text will change automatically to reflect changes.
Precise Dimensioning up to 10 decimal points.
Formats include: Architectural, Fractional, Engineering, Decimal, and Surveyor.
Multi-Text Formatting and Scaling options.

Parametric Parts, Blocks & Symbols
Easily create reusable objects, then drag and drop them into your designs. Parametric Parts, new in TurboCAD 15, greatly enhance this feature by allowing you to create your own parameter driven components for increased productivity.

Block Attributes
A block attribute is AutoCAD®-style informational text associated with a block that you can enter whenever you insert a block. TurboCAD reads and displays block attributes from AutoCAD drawings (DWG) and DXF files and allows you to generate your own.

Hatches Patterns and Line Styles
Apply hatch patterns by object or pick-points to add the finishes touches to your production drawings.

3D Conceptual Design and Rendering

TurboCAD offers the benefits modeling with both Surfaces and (ACIS®) Solids allowing for optimal flexibility in design. When coupled with LightWorks® Photorealistic Rendering you’re sure to impress clients and associates with your dramatic presentations.

ACIS Solid Modeling
Provides realistic complex 3D object creation as well as data crucial for engineers such as Volume, Moments of inertia, Center of gravity and Surface Area. Some of ACIS tools are:
Rail, Sweep and Revolve
Facet and Edge Modifiers
Extrusions and Lofts of Compound Profiles
Face to Face and Branch Lofting
Section and Slice

Lightworks
Allows you to place lighting and luminance to your entire environment and allows you to apply bitmap materials to any 3D face for dramatic realism.

Profile Editing
3D objects that are created by performing a function on a 2D profile can be modified to update the 3D object that is based on it.

Assembly Tools
Easily combining multiple components together to create one part has been made especially easy with TurboCAD new assemble tools.

Part Tree
Allows you to go back to any procedural step in your design and make modifications without losing any subsequent work.

Profile Editing
3D objects that are created by performing a function on a 2D profile can be modified to update the 3D object that is based on it.

Publishing, Productivity and Reports

Drafting Palette
Automatically creates and enables you to insert standard views of your model into Paper Space.

Dynamic Viewports
Viewports have two components: a boundary and the view that it contains. Any update of the view is instantly applied to the viewport. Viewports can be independently scaled and displayed in hidden line draft and quality rendered modes.

Desktop Customization
TurboCAD’s desktop interface is completely customizable. Add command to any toolbar. Pop-up toolbars let you assign your most used tools to the local menu (right-mouse click), saving you from spending time navigating endlessly to use a tool.

Context Sensitive Help
Click any tool or menu item to instantly pull up the help description.

Database, Reports, Tables
Define custom fields reports, bill of materials and parts lists.
