What's in the New TurboCAD
Performance, User Interface, and Usability
-
“POINTS ALONG PATH” TOOL - TurboCAD 2024 introduces the Points along path tool. This handy tool allows you to place points precisely along any curve, giving you control over the number of points with the Number of points property and their spacing with the By Distance property. It’s an intuitive way to enhance your drafting precision and efficiency.
-
“BASIC SHAPES” TOOL - TurboCAD 2024 enhances your design toolkit with the Basic Shapes tool, conveniently located in the Tools menu. Ideal for creating flowcharts, this tool provides a selection of 10 essential shapes, all accessible from the local menu. Plus, with this TurboCAD download’s handy inversion option, you can effortlessly flip these shapes to suit your design needs. It’s a simple yet powerful way to bring structure and clarity to your diagrams.
-
CONNECTOR CREATION TOOL - TurboCAD Designer 2024 streamlines your diagramming process with the Connector Creation tool, an essential feature for building clear and concise flow charts. Located in the Tools menu, this tool simplifies the task of linking different shapes to illustrate relationships and processes. With a variety of connector types available, you can choose the perfect link style from the local menu to suit your diagram’s needs. The TurboCAD download’s Smart option enhances this tool by automatically determining the best connector type, including arrow directions, based on the segments you’re joining.
-
LINK BETWEEN OBJECT AND CONNECTOR - For diagrams that require movement or updates, the Link between Object and Connector is invaluable. It creates a dynamic bond between the connector and your shapes, ensuring that if you move or modify a connected object, the connector will adapt and follow suit. The Double-sided Arrow Connector is particularly versatile, defined by two points that can each bear arrows. With this TurboCAD download, you can specify whether these arrows appear using the properties in the Selection Information Palette. Additionally, if you prefer a softer look, the connector can be set to curve by selecting the Curved property from the same palette. This tool is designed to make your flow charting more intuitive, efficient, and visually appealing, catering to the needs of both novice and experienced CAD users.
-
“BLEND CURVES” TOOL - TurboCAD 2024 introduces the Blend Curves tool, a versatile feature that smooths the transition between polylines and curves. This tool in TurboCAD Designer 2024 operates in two distinct modes to suit your design needs:
-
G2 continuous: This mode creates a seamless Bezier segment using two points, their directions, and curvatures, ensuring a smooth and continuous curve that naturally follows your design flow.
-
Minimize curvature radius: For designs requiring tighter curves, this mode generates a Bezier segment with the smallest possible maximum radius of curvature, providing a more pronounced bend.
Both modes in this TurboCAD download offer you the flexibility to create polished and professional-looking curves with ease, enhancing the quality of your CAD projects.
2D Drafting and Annotation
-
FIND AND REPLACE TEXT - A new Tool, “Find and Replace Text,” has been added to the Edit menu. The user can find a specific text in the drawing and replace it with another word with one click. With a wide range of advanced search and text options, users can search for specific text easily and replace it with less effort.
-
AUTOMATIC CALLOUTS - A new tool, “Automatic Callouts,” has been added to the Dimension menu in this TurboCAD download. The purpose of this tool is to automatically add callouts (leader dimensions) to the drawing in just a few clicks. These callouts can be arranged in a circular formation or along a polyline. After callouts are generated, a BOM table with callout details is created.
