Software Developers' Kit

TurboCAD Pro includes a Software Developers' Kit (SDK) that provides the capabilities to extend the functionality of the application. This includes the ability to develop new tools, functions, and plug-ins for use in TurboCAD Pro. Custom routines that are performed on a regular basis can now be automated. Specific tools for vertical applications can be created and added.
TurboCAD Pro includes a number of special tools that were created as SDK examples, with many new samples added to TurboCAD Pro 21. They can be found under the Add-Ons menu.

Documentation for the SDK has been updated. It includes support and samples of functions for the following environments:

  • Ruby Scripting
  • VB Script
  • VB6
  • VB.net 2008
  • Visual C++
  • C# 2008
  • and Delphi
  • .NET

There is a wiki as well as forum-based support for developing customizations. See the TurboCAD Community Forums for more information.
