The majority of companies these days are looking to find savings in their operational costs. Being forced to look at alternatives to common practice may for some bring unexpected benefits. It’s the law of unforeseen circumstances.

So for all of you paying year in year out sky high prices for your CAD software, why not drop your preconceptions about less expensive software and give it a chance. Every week I demo TurboCAD to companies who are either just starting up in the CAD world, or who are appalled at the price that Auto Desk want to upgrade. I can say with total confidence that nineteen out of twenty of these demonstrations result in a sale.

Paying more does not necessarily give you more of what you need. It may just give you a load of stuff that you don’t need, which will simply get in your way, resulting in tasks taking longer than they should.

TurboCAD is not the world’s top selling CAD package in retail for nothing. You can design a home extension in 2D with AutoCAD LT for about £1,000 or you can Buy TurboCAD 2D Designer for £30, it’ll do the same job and will deal with far more file formats enabling easy file compatibility which you will not get with AutoCAD LT.

On the engineering side, the list of companies that I sell into that had previously been using either Inventor of Solid Works grows every week.

As well as these above, landscape gardeners, kitchen and bathroom designers, door and window manufacturers, archeologists, surveyors, boat builders…the list of professionals using the package just goes on and on.

And the icing on the cake is that there is no annual licensing fee, no fee for either practical or technical support and a free training day, or training books, come with every professional sale.
