Overview
TurboCAD® Mac 2D/3D TrainingThis multimedia Training program aims to provide the TurboCAD Mac user with a comprehensive learning tool which spans 2D drawing and 3D design. This Guide is presented in a Tutorial format, allowing the user to follow the step-by-step instructions from concept to completion. All the Tutorial content in this Guide contains designs which instruct how to create 2D geometry in order to produce 3D solid models in fluid start-to finish tutorials. Each Session contains an Introduction Sheet which illustrates in detail the sketch or model which will be produced during the Session, complete with important information, estimated session duration and a fully completed drawing sample of the session. The drawing sample can be opened using your TurboCAD® Mac software. |  |

2D & 3D Self-Paced Tutorials
Also includes 16 self-paced Work sessions containing the 2D Sketch and 3D Model of the same design. Each Worksheet contains detailed, colorful instructions on how to complete each task, including full animations per task. Each task contains full instructions in an animated, video format. Pause, rewind or fast-forward your videos while you draw. Drag the movie to another screen and use the instructions on your laptop to produce the designs and the movie on the second screen to check your progress.
Progress through each session at your own pace, repeating any task as many times as necessary until you are ready to move to the next design. Tutorials 4 to 8 contain a full 5-part component to assembly design, progressively building the design with each tutorial.

System Requirements
TurboCAD ® Mac Platinum, Pro, Deluxe 2D/3D, Designer 2D*, Macintosh® OS 10.11 through 13.0 or higher¹, x64 Intel® Mac®, 3 GB of hard disk space, 8 GB RAM or greater, Mouse Pointing Device (wheel button recommended), OpenGL Compliant video card with 256 MB VRAM.
The training guide offers tutorials for both 2D and 3D design; however, given that TurboCAD Designer is a 2D-focused product, it will primarily benefit from the 2D drafting tutorials included in the guide.
¹ Program compatibility is not guaranteed for earlier operating systems, require a machine with an operating system using x64 (64-Bit) architecture.
