Free CAD Software
It’s not the CAD software that matters; it’s what you can do with it!
So, for this year, we’re sending the deluxe version of TurboCAD to anyone who signs up to our training course in Winchester.
Productive customers are happy customers; We’re convinced that a day’s training with an experienced tutor will be the best use of time. A quick conversation in front of your drawing can save hours of trial and error!
In much the same way, supporting you after the event is a lot easier when it’s the guy that ran the course on the other end of the phone. It saves you explaining everything over the phone from scratch.
And if you’re ever stuck on how to approach a particular design, we will always be on hand for advice, whether via phone, 01962 835 081, email ptracey@avanquest.co.uk or on this website.
TurboCAD can achieve pretty much anything either in 2D or 3D and will read and edit all other CAD drawings, including four versions of DWG and DXF. Drawings can be imported into AutoCAD, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Catia and all the rest. Drawing in TurboCAD is faster and much easier to learn than other packages, which is why so many people choose it.
And our course will show you how straightforward it is to master.
But if you need to know whether TurboCAD is right for you have a look at the work of the TurboCAD Professionals on this site and you’re always welcome to call Paul for some ‘time saving’ straight answers.
The software will be despatched as soon as we get payment for the course, so you have a chance to try it out before the day.

back in the (1980-1990) I used to use a DOS version of TurboCad, I now use AutoCad 2007 but I still have old drawings in my possesion that are in the Dos version of Tubocad.I need to open and print some of these but as time has passed and I have had new computers I have lost my copies of the turbocad program,is there any program which I can use to open old files
The earliest version of TurboCAD that I have is v11 and that will not open them. I have two suggestions. You could try support at IMSI, so go to http://www.imsidesign.com and lodge a ticket there, or join the Forum on that site and see if anyone for a small fee may be able to sort the problem. Sorry I can’t be of more help, but if you get nowhere with my suggestions let me know and I’ll personally call support in the US.

A friend wants to e-mail me(or possibly send a dvd)drawings that were created in SolidWorks and all I want to do is to print them. Will my Turbocad Pro v14 or v15 allow me to open and print these drawings? Thanks for any help.
John,
You should not have any problem opening and editing a SolidWorks file – call me if you do 01962 835 081.

I have been using Turbocad Deluxe 16 and I wanted to add to the Symbols Library, so I ordered the Symbols Disk Version 4 from the Turbocad Company Website. Most of the files on the Disk are in DLL format and the disk has its own Viewer Program. You can’t just copy the Symbols into your Symbols Library because they are imbedded in the DLL files. The program won’t allow you to export the Symbols to Turbocad Deluxe; I guess you have to have Turbocad Pro or Platinum. I tried to contact Turbocad Support about this problem, but they have ignored all my messages. My question is; does anybody know how to extract the Symbols from the DLL files so that they can be added to my Symbols Library? I think it would require some type of software to extract the Symbols. I believe the Turbocad Company has purposely done this so that the Symbols can only be used in Cad software they choose.
Steve,
I’m really not sure what you have bought here. I do not recognise it. The symbols CD that we sell is v3 and you can import the symbols in a variety of formats, or indeed, into a variety of CAD software. You simply choose the symbol you want by double clicking on it or hitting ‘export’. The Symbols packages then minimizes, revealing TC, you then left click and it appears. You are then able to re-size, put into a symbols or blocks library.
This works in Pro and Deluxe.
