Its 3D tools are TC Surface tools, and it has a limited number of architectural and mechanical tools. <br />For users needing only 2D functionality, there is the much less expensive TurboCAD Designer.

Initial hardware support was for a specific device configuration: <a href="/wiki/Hercules_Graphics_Card" title="Hercules Graphics Card">Hercules monochrome graphics cards</a>, HP7475 plotters with keyboard for data entry. The first version of TurboCAD fit on a single 360kb floppy disk so that it could run on the original <a href="/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer" title="IBM Personal Computer">IBM PC</a>. The source code also fit on a single <a href="/wiki/Floppy_disk" title="Floppy disk">floppy disk</a> along with the 30kb required by the "<a href="/wiki/Development_environment_(software_development_process)" class="mw-redirect" title="Development environment (software development process)">development environment</a>": <a href="/wiki/Turbo_Pascal" title="Turbo Pascal">Turbo Pascal 2.0</a>. </p><p>TurboCAD was released around the same time as <a href="/w/index.php?title=Generic_CADD&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Generic CADD (page does not exist)">Generic CADD</a> in the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>. Both TurboCAD and Generic CADD's marketing objectives were the same – create a viable, low-cost competitor to <a href="/wiki/AutoCAD" title="AutoCAD">AutoCAD</a>. But because Generic CADD launched in the U.S. before TurboCAD, it received much more positive press about its low price, (approximately $600 originally), and quickly achieved a large and loyal customer base. The release of Generic CADD in the PC market was, at that time, the biggest ‘CAD event’ since Autodesk had reinvented CAD pricing with its initial release in 1981. </p><p>South Africans Philip Copeman and Michael Cartwright worked on redesigning the product. Roy Abrams and Philip Copeman introduced it to the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a> markets as TurboCAD in late 1986. This release was made under the brand Pink Software, with other stake holders; John Glennie, Digby Prior, and Janine Copeman. Support was added for more <a href="/wiki/Video_card" class="mw-redirect" title="Video card">video cards</a> (EGA, <a href="/wiki/Olivetti" title="Olivetti">Olivetti</a>, etc.), input devices (Summagraphics <a href="/wiki/Digitizer" class="mw-redirect" title="Digitizer">digitizer</a>, and later, the first <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_Mouse" title="Microsoft Mouse">Microsoft Mouse</a>). The cost was £99. TurboCAD was a <a href="/wiki/DOS" title="DOS">DOS</a> product with limited device support, whereas Generic CADD was strong in this area. The turning point for the product came after Martin Sacks, the first US distributor, was able to get Digby Prior, a ton of plotters and printers, and a driver writing utility in the same room in Los Angeles. Sacks also created the first CAD symbols included with the product. Initially, in order to be able to support <a href="/wiki/Dot_matrix_printer" class="mw-redirect" title="Dot matrix printer">dot matrix printers</a>, FPlot was sold as an add-on to TurboCAD. Later, TurboCAD included native printer drivers for a variety of dot matrix, bubble jet, and laser printers. During this period, Rob Berry began working on the product as a Technical Writer. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Moving_to_the_US">Moving to the US</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=TurboCAD&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Moving to the US"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>TurboCAD was first sold in the United States by Milan Systems of America in late 1986, marketed as a stand-alone title for $99 and a bundle with the IMSI (International Microcomputer Software, Inc<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) mouse for $149. Both companies shared distribution responsibilities for the bundle. </p><p>In 1990, IMSI released its self-developed version of TurboCAD, version 2 for DOS. IMSI had licensed the source code from the original developers, Pink Software, and programmer Kurt Diesch fixed bugs and added output support, as well as increased functionality to compete with other CAD programs under $500 – Generic CADD, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Drafix&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Drafix (page does not exist)">Drafix</a> and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Design_CAD&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Design CAD (page does not exist)">Design CAD 2D</a>. Later Diesch ported code from the original <a href="/wiki/Turbo_Pascal" title="Turbo Pascal">Turbo Pascal</a> to the later object oriented version that would eventually morph into <a href="/wiki/Borland_Delphi" class="mw-redirect" title="Borland Delphi">Borland Delphi</a>. This resulted in a major improvement to the DOS <a href="/wiki/User_interface" title="User interface">user interface</a>. </p><p>In the United States, TurboCAD was initially marketed through high-tech, direct sales publications such as <i><a href="/wiki/Computer_Shopper_(US_magazine)" title="Computer Shopper (US magazine)">Computer Shopper</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/InfoWorld" title="InfoWorld">InfoWorld</a></i> magazines. <i>Computer Shopper</i> proved to be the consistently profitable publication in which to advertise and monthly full-page ads were run in this publication for the first two and a half years from TurboCAD's introduction in the U.S. <i>Computer Shopper</i> ads not only established a strong and loyal end user base, but they also helped establish a loyal distribution network. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Windows_history_and_sales_distribution">Windows history and sales distribution</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=TurboCAD&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Windows history and sales distribution"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>With the release of TurboCAD v2 DOS and v1 Windows in 1993, IMSI decided to begin using <a href="/wiki/Direct_mail" class="mw-redirect" title="Direct mail">direct mail</a> campaigns as a means of cost effectively increasing its user base and over the next two years became the primary advertising technique. Revenues for direct mail sales of TurboCAD grew to over $20 million annually in 1993, with successful prospect direct mail campaigns being sent out on a nearly monthly basis in the U.S., <a href="/wiki/Canada" title="Canada">Canada</a>, UK and <a href="/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australia</a>. In 1993, IMSI released the first <a href="/wiki/Macintosh" class="mw-redirect" title="Macintosh">Macintosh</a> versions of TurboCAD – Standard retailed for $195, while Professional retailed for $495 and offered 3D, wireframe functionality. This technology was purchased from Santiago Montufar's company, Pegasus Software. </p><p>In 1993, IMSI began to outsource the development of TurboCAD. After a trip to <a href="/wiki/Russia" title="Russia">Russia</a> by Martin Sacks, IMSI hired 3 Russian programmers who began work on TurboCAD Windows v2. Included in these 3 original hires were Victor Bazarov, who later came to work in San Rafael for IMSI and Alex Presniak who went on to start SoftDev on behalf of IMSI. </p><p>In 1994, Michael Cartwright moved from South Africa to join IMSI in California and, along with Peter Zingg, led the TurboCAD for Windows v3 rewrite, a major architectural shift for the product. Together those two were instrumental in IMSI's early offshore development success. During the v3 rewrite, the code was ported from Delphi to C++ and the UI was reformed to be "Office Standard" compliant. IMSI made the strategic decision to release v3 in both 16 and 32 bit versions giving users the best of both worlds during the rocky transition of the market from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95. Since then, Alex Presniak and many of the same Russian developers (Sergey Nazarov, TurboCAD team leader; Leonid Robin, SDK development) continued to work on the TurboCAD code. </p><p>By late 1994, the success of the direct mailings peaked with an established user base of over a quarter of a million of TurboCAD owners. From that point on response rates and ROIs (<a href="/wiki/Return_on_investment" title="Return on investment">returns on investment</a>) for direct mail began to decline due to <a href="/wiki/Market_saturation" title="Market saturation">over-saturation</a> and increasing printing and postage costs. As such, IMSI decided to reestablish its presence in the reseller market. </p><p>TurboCAD quickly became a favorite of the reseller channel, successfully distributed through key software distributors like <a href="/wiki/Ingram_Micro" title="Ingram Micro">Ingram</a>, TechData and Merisel, and sold in retail locations like MicroCenter, Fry's Electronics, <a href="/wiki/CompUSA" title="CompUSA">CompUSA</a> and <a href="/wiki/Software_Etc" class="mw-redirect" title="Software Etc">Software Etc</a>. In addition to strong reseller distribution channels, an educational reseller and direct to school marketing possibilities also became available. </p><p>From 2009 on, there has been a shift out of traditional 'brick and mortar' resellers of TurboCAD, to more online resellers such as <a href="/wiki/Amazon.com" class="mw-redirect" title="Amazon.com">Amazon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Apple_Inc." title="Apple Inc.">Apple</a>, CAD & Graphics, and Purch, as well as educational and corporate resellers such as <a href="/wiki/JourneyEd" title="JourneyEd">JourneyEd</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lifeboat_Distribution" title="Lifeboat Distribution">Lifeboat</a>, <a href="/wiki/SHI_International_Corp" title="SHI International Corp">SHI</a> and Softmart.

Version 6 saw the integration of the <a href="/wiki/ACIS" title="ACIS">ACIS</a> solid modeling kernel and the <a href="/w/index.php?title=LightWorks&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="LightWorks (page does not exist)">LightWorks</a> photorealistic rendering engine. </p><p>In 1999, SoftDev created a <a href="/wiki/Visual_Basic_for_Applications" title="Visual Basic for Applications">VBA</a>-based plug-in known as AnimationLab, which is now up to version 4. This plug-in module allows users to create scenarios using the Key Frames Editor, assign a soundtrack for each actor, calculate the sound scene taking into account distance to the actors, speed, and overall environment.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In collaboration with SoftDev, a Beam Analysis tool (2001) and 2½D CAM plug-in (2002) were developed. 3rd party plug-ins have also been created including a surface modeling and civil engineering tools developed by Jerry Simington (2003, 2016), a Google Maps plug-in developed by SoftDev (2015), and a parametric furniture (cabinets, tables, chairs) generator developed by Spinar Software (2005). </p><p>From 2003 through 2005 significant enhancements were made to the TurboCAD Professional product. Specifically, Spatial's Deformable Modeling engine was enabled in version 9.5, while D-Cubed's 2D Constraint Manager was added in version 10.5. In June 2005, IMSI re-entered the <a href="/wiki/Macintosh" class="mw-redirect" title="Macintosh">Macintosh</a> market with the launch of TurboCAD and TurboCAD 3D. These products were private-label licenses from CADSoft Solutions. </p><p>In 2006, the ability to unlock additional functionality through special serial number and activation key pairs was introduced with TurboCAD v12. Collections of architectural and mechanical features were ‘packaged’ together and sold successfully to TurboCAD Professional owners. Architectural features included architectural object types (windows, doors, stairs and rails) based on Autodesk's ADT product, meaning that while TurboCAD could now read an ADT (DWG) file with these architectural object types, AutoCAD itself could not. </p><p>TurboCAD 14 was released in 2007 including Terrain Modeling functionality.<br /> TurboCAD 15 was released in March 2008.<br /> TurboCAD 16 was released in July 2009.<br /> TurboCAD 17 was released in March 2010.<br /> TurboCAD 18 was released in March 2011 and included a partial implementation of the Redway RedSDK drawing engine.<br /> TurboCAD 19 was released in March 2012 and included 64-bit support for TurboCAD Professional.<br /> TurboCAD 20 was released in March 2013, and included the introduction of Surface Mesh (SMESH) tools, as well as 64-bit support for TurboCAD Deluxe and Designer.<br /> TurboCAD 21 was released in March 2014.<br /> TurboCAD 22 was released in March 2015 and was re-branded as TurboCAD 2015.
