TurboCAD does everything high lever CAD packages does for minimal investment.

There's so much to CAD packages like this and people have their own viewpoints and needs, so I suggest you look for more in depth reviews. This is simply to give you a perspective of what my background is and a briefly comparison. I used AutoCAD for many years as an engineer starting with release 2 back in the early 80's through release 2000 prior to leaving engineering for sales. I now use TurboCAD for projects, both personal and business. This product is amazing for the price. Don't be fooled by the price though! This is a very powerful package that will suffice for most businesses at many levels. Do your own research you won't have to look very far. You will find an incredible amount of information and how to videos on YouTube. I have used TurboCAD for about 7yrs now and really appreciate the changes starting with 2015. They make even a lower cost version that I hear many woodworkers using for their project drawings. The one thing I used to do, that I don't anymore is customization to the software. Back in the day with ACAD I wrote LISP routines, since LISP language was ACAD's backbone. My LISP routines were for automating things such as breaking lines when inserting blocks. These routines today are now built-in functions within ACAD, If you are a professional that wishes to do this you might want to do some research to make sure of TurboCAD's capabilities for these types of modifications. That said, you can customize menus super easy within TurboCAD and setting up is very easy. New to CAD? That's OK! Just give yourself a fair amount of time and do your research/learning on the internet and you will be able to figure things out very quickly. I hope this review helps

A good 2-D CAD program

I only use the 2d part of the program to mock-up plans for cabinets I'm building. It is quite a program, but requires some basic understanding of drafting. I was fortunate to live at a time when H.S.s offered mechanical drawing. Thus, there is a learning curve of basic drawing techniques (drafting) and, then, CAD tools, such as "snaps" and other neat computer tools to draw and manipulate lines and objects. There are some limits to the program, after all IMSI sells professional CAD software. Generally, I find this to be a powerful program where the user has a lot of control over the tools and drawing set-up. As said, I know nothing of the 3d aspects of the software.

Happy with purchase

Husband is happy with this software.

Don't let the price fool you... This is one powerful package

After using AutoCad during my entire professional career it was a big transition to switch to TurboCAD but I couldn't justify buying a more expensive package for home use. Naturally at first I was slow and clumsy until I found the icons I needed for my application. This is one powerful package and is definitely a lot of bang for the buck. The software is not happy with the graphics card on my notebook but it seems to work fine using a generic driver I assume. Maybe you would run into some speed issues on a large drawing but that's not a problem for me. Being able to directly import AutoCAD drawings worked great so that was another big plus for this package.

Exceeded my expectations!

Works fine on Windows 10, plus provided 2016 free upgrade.

Good product.

Exactly what I was looking for. Good product.

Five Stars

it came with the training manual and I don't have to go to school to learn the program

TurboCAD Deluxe 2015 Great Bargain at a Great Price.

The TurboCAD Deluxe 2015 is very easy to use at a great price. It does the job without a steep learning curve. Great product! Great Bargain!

Great Cad Software for the money

Great Cad Software. Easy to use and highly recommend it. Awesome

Great Program

Great program for the money if you’re willing to invest the time to actually learn how to use CAD which is somewhat complex. I have made a lot of money with this program creating architectural drawings and would recommend this to any small business that produces drawings.
