Hi Al! Welcome to the forum!

Hi to everyone.
Some years ago I switched from windows to mac, but due to my job in others company, I used again autocad.
I'd like to work as self- employed, so I have some questions about turbocad.
1) I predominantly draw in 2d simply mechanical and civil projects. My partners use autocad and print drafts with autocad ctb with bycolor settings. Can I use turbocad for this use?
2) can turbocad import and export autocad dwg and my colleagues can print and store my files without troubles?
3) when I draw mechanical object in 2d in plans, sections, and frontal views I sometimes make some mistake because I draw every views and I haven't a 3d model. Can turbocad from a 3d model obtain all 2d views?
4) I found a TC pro v3. May it is a good choice for me?

I tried to use Doublecad xt with parallel but it's only for windows and it often crushes....

 
thanks to everyone.
Al.

Hello,

I am attempting to obtain a replacement for my registered software CD, for Mac.

The company webpage seems to be down and the cached links from a Google search lead to a WebNuke page or runtime error.

Any direction and a working contact to registration at IMSI would be great.

It would still be a good idea to have the ability to have multiple windows open within one instance of a drawing file ( not multiple openings of the same file ) if you want to place a long block or anther object in a complex drawing you could start its placement in one window and finish it in another being in close in both windows making your accurate placement much easier within a complex drawing. this method is used in other drawing programmes would this be possible?

I hope i have explained myself better this time.

After having used TurboCAD Mac v5 for some time now i having upgraded to pro v5 from Deluxe. I used to using the grid in other CAD packages but now love the drawing assistant i am mostly happy with all of it. there are a few bugs some of them converting drawing files but so do most expensive commercial programs DXF files being notorious with layers and style settings.

It would be nice to be able to edit an ACIS solid Object in the same way as you can a block primitive. its length, width and hight.

wait till monday- there is a setting which needs dumping- due to spammers

Been trying to upload over two days. I keep getting an error from your server.

Welcome to the forum Jax!
Yes, this is compatable> now the sequencing will be:
File Import: (click on any type to open the full selection list)
import STL
Import will generate as a mesh: 4.4 M's as parent drawing
stitch into solid (if wanted.)

P.S. This with V 5 Pro

I have recently downloaded into my iMac a program entitled Complete Organ "This is a model of the complete organ." from Raphi Giangiulio's Homemade Pipe Organ Website (www.rwgiangiulio.com).  The program in question is found at www.rwgiangiulio.com/virtual Attempting to open the file yields "There is no default application specified to open the document organ-stl.stl."

What I need to know prior to the purchase of any version of TuboCAD Mac is whether or not it is STL file compatible zipped to 872KB.

Here is the VICTORIA.base.dwg drawing file corrected. This file will still give a warning due to the custom lines styles that were created in the original file.
