Professional 2.5D Drafting and Detailing
TurboCAD LTE Pro is rich in fundamental drawing tools and drawing aids that speed design. More than an AutoCAD LT® work-alike; it’s a professional 2.5D CAD program that provides all the features you look for in AutoCAD LT, plus many more advanced design tools CAD professionals want.

Low Learning Curve & Enhanced Productivity
TurboCAD LTE Pro is designed to minimise switching costs for AutoCAD LT users. Menus, tools, and icons are easily recognisable. Familiar keystrokes, command line, palette interfaces and an intelligent cursor have been incorporated. TurboCAD LTE Pro also offers exceptional compatibility with the latest .DWG and .DXF file filters allowing you to continue to profit from your existing AutoCAD drawings.

In addition to providing users with a familiar UI, TurboCAD LTE Pro offers a variety of features like a 64-bit version, GPU-accelerated drawing engine, and more, to enhance your productivity.

Affordable Innovations
TurboCAD LTE Pro goes beyond AutoCAD LT to provide more advanced drafting and detailing capabilities. The advanced drafting palette works with solid or surface models, turning 3D designs into associative 2D views and detailed sections to complete your working drawing documentation. The page layout wizard makes this process even easier with two modes to optimise the creation of 2D layouts from either an architectural or a mechanical model. TurboCAD LTE Pro even supports external references, or "Xrefs," making editing more efficient, and helping to keep drawings in synch.

Advanced Architectural Design
TurboCAD LTE Pro provides architectural features you won’t find in AutoCAD LT, including dynamic dimensions, markers, geo-location, a house wizard, architectural style manager, IFC import/export for simple BIM, and a range of parametric, ACA/ADT compatible architectural objects

Programmable Through Ruby Scripting & SDK
Support for customisation through Ruby scripting and the Software Developers’ Kit allows for all sorts of routines, features, or full-fledged vertical applications to be developed and added right to the user interface.

Highly Compatible with Other CAD Formats
TurboCAD LTE Pro supports over 30 industry-standard file formats. Open & save .DWG, .DXF, and .DWF formats from AutoCAD R14 to 2015. Enjoy superior workflow with Trimble MarkUp and SketchUp., now through version 2015. Import/Export files from PDF, 3D PDF, and Universal 3D (U3D) files as well as dozens more popular CAD and graphic file formats.

Architectural Design

NEW! Convert Roof Slabs

Now you can take a classic TurboCAD roof, and convert it (explode) the roof to a set of roof slabs. This makes it more convenient to create and edit custom roofs (clipped gable roof, dormer, etc...)

NEW! Trim Roof Slab by plane

This tool allows you to trim a Roof Slab by the plane of another object. The objects that can be used are: Other Roof Slabs, Standard Roofs, or Walls.

• Select target flat plane for the trimming object
• Select the side of the roof slab to be trimmed.
• Support classic TurboCAD trim tool for Roof Slab (trim by polyline)

NEW! Multi Landing Stairs By Polyline

You can now create multi-landing stairs from a 2D polyline.

IMPROVED! Edit Roof Slope Rise/Run Support

The Edit Roof Slab Tool now includes an input field.

IMPROVED! IFC Object Support

The IFC file filter, commonly used for BIM operations, now supports the Import/Export of Beam object types and Column object types.

IMPROVED! House Wizard Tool

The house wizard, used to quickly layout a house plan, placing and sizing each room, drop in closets, passageways, a garage, and even decking, now allows you to name each room while in the tool so you don’t have to do it after.
 

Mechanical Design

New Slots Tools

Three new slot tools for inventors, woodworking and furniture design. They include:

• Slot
• Circular Slot
• Circular Slot By Center and Radius

Point Cloud

NEW! Point Cloud Support

TurboCAD LTE Pro now offers tools to interpret a point cloud, a set of data points in some coordinate system. In a three-dimensional coordinate system, these points are usually defined by X, Y, and Z coordinates, often intended to represent the external surface of an object.

New! Point Cloud Import/Export

Import or export a point cloud using .PCD and .XYZ formats

New! Point Cloud Triangulation

Ability to extract a Surface from point cloud data set

New! Subset Point Cloud

The ability to select a subset of an existing point cloud and create a separate entity.
 

General

NEW! ISO Circle/Grid

This new tool allows you to easily construct isometric circles.
 

User Interface

IMPROVED! Conceptual Selector

• Drag reference point and rotation bars with CTRL
• Scale handles on boundary boxed as in classic mode

New! Highlighting (Redsdk Only)

UI enhancement which highlights 3D objects and parts of 3D objects while using certain tools in Redsdk mode including imprinting, quick pull & 3D mirror copying.

New! Spaces

Manage all your spaces through the design director including model space, and all paper spaces so you can handle spaces more efficiently than the tab interface allows.
 

Interoperability Updates

New! PRC 3D PDF Support

TurboCAD LTE Pro now supports both .U3D and .PRC (Product Representation Compact) file export. This new filter option exports 3D content in PRC format.

Improved! 3D PDF Export

TurboCAD 3D PDF export now includes support of Redsdk materials

TurboCAD LTE and TurboCAD LTE Pro are delivered in a 64-bit version to take full advantage of your hardware’s available computer memory to load, process, and render CAD files. 

CPU Type

• 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

System Requirements:

• Microsoft Windows 10, Windows 8* 64-bit, Windows 7 (64-bit), Vista (64-bit)
• 4 GB RAM

Recommended:

Your experience with TurboCAD will be greatly enhanced with a newer generation, higher speed CPU, 4+ GB RAM, and larger display resolution and graphics support.

The optional GPU-accelerated Redsdk render mode requires a supported graphic processing unit (either a chip on the board, or on a video card). The latest video drivers are typically required. Newer boards with more power and VRAM generally provide greater performance.
