2D Geometric and Dimensional Constraints:

Dimension and constraint tools are now available to manage the geometric relationships between 2D shapes.
Feature Highlights:

• Thirteen Geometric Constraints
• Dimension Constraints
• Variable and Equations
• Constraint Animation
• Auto Constrain
• Animate Dimension and Constraints

Tool Icon Sizing

You can now modify a tool palette to use larger or smaller icons. Right click on the tool bar header to display a popup menu for "Change Icon Size". This menu now provides options for 64,32,24 and 16-pixel sized icons. The default icon size is 32x32.

Layer Duplicate

A new command to duplicate a layer and all the objects in that layer is now available through Concept Explorer. To access this command, place your cursor over the layer you want to duplicate, right click and select the Duplicate command. If you Duplicate a sub layer, the new duplicated layer is promoted to a first level layer.

SVG Import and Export

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. V11 now supports importing and exporting to this new format.
The new SVG Import/Export provides an alternative to using the Adobe Illustrator format for sharing vector based (scalable) graphics.
Note: For importing SVG files from Adobe Illustrator use a unit setting of mm (or inch) and a DPI setting of 72 to get the correct scale.

Simplify curves

Some design tasks prefer higher order curves such as arcs, circles, and/or ellipses over lines. For example, sharing data with a plasma or water jet cutting CNC system or extruding a profile into a solid and later adding edge treatments. V11 introduces the Simplify Curve tool to assist in this task. Covert Lines or Polylines into:

• Arcs
• Circles
• Ellipses
• Splines

3MF Import & Export

The 3D Manufacturing Format (3MF) is a 3D printing format that allows design applications to send full- fidelity 3D models to other applications, platforms, services, and printers. Highlights of the TurboCAD implementation are listed below:

• Supports UNIT description flag
• Color Attributes
• Textures (PNG, JPG) & UV Coordinates
• Support for full color 3D Printing

VRML 2.0 Texture Support

VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) is a file format used to describe 3D interactive graphics for the world wide web. TurboCAD supports VRML Export.

OBJ Texture Support

THE OBJ file format was updated to supporting reading and displaying textures.

SketchUp 2018 Import/Export

SketchUp (TM) has introduced a new file format starting with their 2018 products. V11 has been updated to support the new format as well as supporting textures..

DXF/DWG 2018 Import/Export

This optional add-on extends in TurboCAD. Autodesk (TM) has updated the DXF/DWG format with the release of AutoCAD 2018. V11 has been updated to support the new format. Note: AutoCAD 2019 uses the same format as AutoCAD 2018..

PowerPack V11

Powerpack extends the feature set of TurboCAD/Shark with 70+ additional tools for Entity Management, 3DPrinting Editing/Repair, and Advanced Modelling. V11 adds the Mesh to Analytic tool to convert mesh data (STL, SketchUp) into precise solids.

• Threads (Precise & Cosmetic)
  Threads are a common feature used in fasteners. Threads in TurboCAD are defined with the following parameters:
  - Inner Thread
  - Outer Thread
  - Pitch
  - Length
  - Starting location
• Precise Threads - Accurately modelled threads via helix on ACIS models
• Cosmetic Threads - Lightweight visual threads using OpenGL Textures.

Valuable Content

Over 38,000 2D/3D symbols and parts are now included for AEC, Mechanical, Electrical, Process Plant and Piping design. Simply drag- and-drop to speed design. Hatch patterns and colors, as well as 2,000 new materials are also available.

LogiCursor

The LogiCursor thinks like a drafter. It automatically knows where construction lines are typically wanted and displays them temporarily as you draw. Combine with snaps to quickly locate tangent and perpendicular points or align to x, y, z axis edges, faces or workplanes, making TurboCAD Mac ideal for modeling in 3D or quickly laying floorplans, diagrams and more.

Complete Set of 2D Drafting Tools

TurboCAD Mac offers a large selection of 2D tools, so that no matter the situation, you've got access to the right tool for the job. Included you'll find line, arc and curve tools as well as circle, ellipse, polygon, and spline tools. Conic tools allow users to easily obtain a curve generated by the intersection of a cone with a plane. Plus access text and dimensioning tools, fillet and chamfer tools, 2D modifier and transformation tools.

Mesh Modeling Tools

Create 3D mesh designs from multiple points. The Quad Mesh tools allow users to create primitives, extrusions, coverts, lathes, and meshes by points.
