Additionally, you can animate constraints to visually inspect the dynamic relationship of a constrained model. 
Simplify Curves - Used in conjunction with the cutting of material on CNC systems or the extrusion of a profile into a solid, this new tool allows you to convert Lines or Polylines into Arcs, Circles, Ellipses and/or Splines.

3D MODELING

Skinning with Centerline Path - This powerful 3D modeling tool allows the creation of a 3D NURB objects. The skins can be either Open, resulting in a NURBS Surface object, or Closed, resulting in a Solid. 
Edge Features – New Edge treatments include Cove, Rounds and Half Rounds, Bullnose and Half Bull Nose, and more. These are great for defining parametric edges in Wood, Marble or Granite designs. 
Surface from Laws  A new feature which allows the parametric design with formulas of NURBS shapes such as Springs, Mobius strips, Paraboloids, Tubes and other complex 3D objects. Additional pre-defined formulas are included.

VISUALIZATION

INTEROPERABILITY

SVG Import and Export - Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics can now be imported in or exported to TurboCAD Mac.  SVG support includes support for interactivity and animation. A great alternative to using Adobe Illustrator for scaling vector-based graphics. 
Updated DWG/DXF Support - Now updated to support the 2018 file format. 
3MF Import and Export - The 3D Manufacturing Format (3MF) is used in a 3D printing and allows design applications such as TurboCAD Mac to send full-fidelity 3D models to other applications, platforms, services and printers.
