v21.1 [Apr 10, 2014]
New Drafting and Detailing
New Arrow Tools
Four new arrow tools (Arrow Arc, Arrow Curve, Arrow Line, and Arrow Polyline) allow you to rapidly draw arrows. Specify the arrow tail and arrowhead or create your own.
New Auto-Shape
Quickly sketch out standard shapes (arc, line, box, etc.) and TurboCAD will automatically create the precision shape.
Improved Area Units
Specify Area Units discretely from Linear Units. Example - Measure area in feet and distance in inches. (Metric also)
New Custom Text for Dimensioning
Customized text formatting for dimensions includes bolding, superscript, subscript, italics, support for multiple font scales, and multi-line.
New Delta Distance and Delta Move Angle(s)
You can now move a selected object simply by specifying distance and a direction.
New Rotate View with Viewport
A new option has been added to synchronize the rotation of viewports and views while retaining the possibility of discreet rotation.
Improved Dimensional Updating for Drafting Objects
New TurboCAD 21 offers improved associative interactivity between Drafting Objects and Dimensions, with or without viewports.
New Move Dimension Text
Edit dimension text from inside the dimension tool using the local menu, for added flexibility and improved productivity.
New Architectural
New PPM Objects as Doors and Windows
We’ve extended parametric scripting such that the resultant objects can be used as doors and windows.
3D Modeling/Mechanical
New Slice Any Solid with a (ACIS) Surface
Any flat or curved plane in space can be used to bisect a solid.
Improved Quick Pull
Three new options have been added to the Quick Pull tool. TurboCAD Pro users can now push pull on fillets to increase or decrease the radius of the fillet. The ability to push and pull on bends, and increase or decrease the radius of the bend has also been added. And finally, now you can push on the side of a cylinder and increase or decrease the radius of the cylinder.
Improved ACIS 3D Modeling Engine
The powerful ACIS 3D solid modeling engine and interoperability filters in TurboCAD Pro and Pro Platinum has been upgraded to R24. This update enhances several of the 3D solid modeling features in TurboCAD based on this engine, including a new ACIS faceting algorithm, improved quick pull tool, and more.
New ACIS Faceting Algorithm
A new algorithm has been written that gives more adequate results in some cases, and adds options to the ACIS faceter properties.
New Faceter Properties
Now users can control the facet resolution of the display for improved productivity. Low res displays more quickly while high res displays more slowly (speed depending on the image). This allows you to find a balance between quality and speed of display.
New Edit Tool option "Node Filter"
On objects with a large number of nodes, a node filter has been added to the edit tool that allows you to select a subset of nodes optimizing performance and ease of use.
New Edit Tool option "Workplane by 3D object"
New option "On/off 'Workplane by 3D object'" was added to Editor Tool TC20.
Rendering
Improved Render Manager
Now a universal tool for managing and editing of photorealistic elements for Redsdk and Lightworks.
New Redsdk Photorealistic Enhancements
New, full support of Redsdk Environment, Luminances, Render Styles, and HDRI.
New Geo-located Sun
Universal Sun Light calculations and rendering in TurboCAD 21 are now based on one of three modes:
user geo-location, date, and time
longitude, latitude and custom GMT
angle and azimuth
New Redsdk Engine
The Redsdk rendering engine by Redway3d has been updated to version 3.3.
Improved Redsdk Photo Rendering
New ability to configure the number of threads for Redsdk raytrace rendering.
Improved Redsdk Selector Tool Enhancement
The selector dragger is now drawn as a RedSDK object in RedSDK mode for smoother viewing when moving the camera or scrolling.
Interoperability
Improved DWG/DXF Read/Write filters
Files filters have been updated to support import and export of the latest AutoCAD 2013/2014 file formats.
New SKP 2013 Read/Write Filters
Update of both Read and Write filter based on the new SketchUp 2013 APIs
