Key Features
Advanced Drafting
and Detailing
TurboCAD LTE offers
powerful 2D CAD at an incredible price. It provides all
the power tools required to get projects done on time,
at a fraction of the cost of AutoCAD LT®, yet is fully
.DWG compatible.
Familiar User
Interface
No need to re-learn what
you already know. Install, start, and get up and running
immediately without looking back. TurboCAD LTE’s
familiar UI lets you concentrate on creating design and
not how to use the software.
- Toolbars -
Standard toolbar and icons function the
same way as AutoCAD LT. Simply click and let the
drawing begin.
- Dynamic
Input - Familiar heads up display with
dynamic input at cursor.
- Command line
- Need the command line? No worries, we
have it. Common keyboard aliases and quick keys are
already included too and fully customizable. Even
the ESC key works as expected.
- Palettes -
Tool palettes provide a fast way to access
common and customizable tools with a familiar look
and feel.
- Menus -
Pull down a menu and find the exact command
you want with no surprises. Call it CAD intuition.
Excellent
Workflow
Need to share CAD files
with others? TurboCAD LTE supports the latest industry
file formats. Open and save .DWG, .DXF, and .DWF
formats from AutoCAD R14 to 2011. Enjoy superior
workflow with Google™ SketchUp and SketchUp Pro .SKP
files up to version 8. Plus HP®.PLT, DoubleCAD™.2CD,
and many formats are supported.
Hyper-
Accelerated Graphic Performance
Increase zoom and pan
performance so you don’t have to wait during a moment of
inspiration. The powerful drawing engine takes
advantage of GPU-based graphics cards for lightning fast
wireframe displays.
Support for Xrefs
All of the file formats
that may be opened and imported, with the exception of
bitmap images, may be used as an external reference
(Xref). The designer may continue to work in AutoCAD or
SketchUp, for example, while the drafting continues in
TurboCAD LTE. This helps to minimize duplication of
geometry, thereby making editing more efficient and
helping to keep drawings in synch. Xrefs also help keep
file sizes down when you use the same large components
in multiple drawings, and allow concurrent sharing of
data.
Architectural
Power
Save time using
architectural walls that are self healing with automatic
cleanup and AutoCAD Architecture compatibility. Any
block can be used as a custom architectural element that
will automatically align to self-healing walls when
inserted.
Advanced handle-based
editing of selected objects gives you instant access to
sizing, scaling, moving, rotating, and positioning
without selecting multiple tools. Brush styles,
including hatch patterns, can be created using bitmaps,
transparency, and full color. Hatch patterns can even be
used in layered combination for a better expression of
your design concept.
Features You've
Been Waiting For
TurboCAD LTE provides
many top user requested features such as, transparent
fills, draw order by layer (recently improved and
expanded), explodable viewports, new pdf underlay,
bezier curves, flatten 3D to 2D views, a new purge tool,
ability to prioritize snaps, advanced polyline editing,
automatically scale units between drawings, parametric
variable palette, embed/bind image files in a drawing,
input multiple unit types on-the-fly, and much more.
Unique and
Compelling Tools
TurboCAD LTE also has
productivity tools not found in AutoCAD LT that can
accelerate the drawing experience. Special line, arc,
and circle tools automatically create tangent, parallel,
and perpendicular entities without snaps, allowing the
user to proceed without resetting their snap modes.
Tools such as multiline,
bezier curves, and fixed ratio ellipses extend the types
of entities you can create, expediting drawing
production. And modify tools, such as meet-two-lines
and convert-to-curve, eliminate the use of cumbersome
tools found in other CAD applications.
