Older version cad program that is full featured for 2-d drawing. Fills the need of my small manufacturing company.


2 out of 5 stars Turbocad Delux and Vista   April 22, 2008
MJG (Weymouth, MA United States)
I like Turbocad and when I upgraded my computer I ended up with MS Vista.

My copy of Turbocad 10 wouldn't work with Vista and IMSI wasn't supporting it. Hey, IMSI is five versions past V 10. I figure they have to draw the line somewhere so no harm no foul.

Money is tight and business is slow. After some investigation I found thst V 12.0 with the 1.4/1.5 patch would work with vista so I ordered it and it didn't. It wouldn't even load

Got hooked up with IMSI Tech support. They confirmed it should work and e-mailed me some work arounds to try and added a note that if I still had problems I should get back to them. The work arounds didn't and I did. I'm still waiting on them to get back to me. It's been about three weeks now.

Fortunately, while doing some poking around on the IMSI web site I found something called flat file installation. It's a cure for some other version and installation problem requiring coping the installation disc to the computer and installing from there. I gave it a shot. It works and the only bug I have now is that when I close the program I get an error message rather then a clean close. It doesn't seem to cause sny problems do I csn live with it.

Someday IMSI may even condescend to get back to me with a better cure for the loading problem!!! Got to love a tech support that, when they csn't fix a problem they ignore it.

Even after many, many years doing architectural drawings on CAD, I stll find TurboCAD extremely complex. Do you have any suggestions to simplify it's usage?


1 out of 5 stars Doesn't perform as advertised   February 18, 2007

This is advertised as being a great tool for creating home plans, but the features that you'd want to use are only included in the "Professional" version, which is $540. This includes window, roof, split/join walls, wall openings, and others I may not yet have discovered. Of course, once I had opened the software, installed it, and discovered its deficiencies, it was too late to return it. Bummer.

I am an experienced AutoCAD user, and bought this to use at home. If you learned on AutoCAD, you will find this program a study in frustration.

What takes minutes on AutoCAD takes hours on Turbocad, IF it will even do it. I'm not talking about solid modeling either, I'm talking about drawing simple, 2D objects, to scale.

I'm giving it 2 stars only because it is cheap. But my recommendation is to avoid it altogether.
