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."
Hans-Jurgen

"This is not a toy, but a true solid-modelling package based on the newest version of the ACIS solid-modelling kernel. For those making their initial foray into 3D modelling, especially in the mechanical world, it should definitely be considered."
Dr. Joel Orr, Cyon Research

"...demostrated how the faces of solids (and surfaces) can be deformed interactively. TurboCAD has two methods: apply a uniform pressure to the face, and get a bell-shape; or define points that constrain the deformation.

"Make no mistake. TurboCAD is a real CAD program guaranteed to please current users and attract many more new customers. And there are features here that its more expensive competitors may learn from."

"3D slice works in rendered mode now!"
Brian Kerr

"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."
Dr. Joel Orr, Cyon Research

"The latest release of the high-end version of TurboCAD, must force many users to ask if the additional features of SolidWorks, Inventor, or Solid Edge are worth several thousand dollars."
Dr. Joel Orr, Cyon Research

"TurboCAD now creates cross-sections linked to views. Several standard cross-sections are predefined; new cross-sections are defined by simply placing a line, and selecting the side to show. I particulary like the preview window that shows the cross-section before committing."
Ralph Grabowski, Editor upFront.eZine

"If you're looking for a good CAD tool, an inexpensive alternative to market-leader AutoCAD, TurboCAD Professional has much to offer."
