Copilot is an AI‑driven companion built into TurboCAD^®, designed to make navigation easier, speed up common tasks, and provide useful guidance as you work. Copilot is available at two levels: TurboCAD^® Copilot Help and TurboCAD^® Copilot Professional. Copilot Help uses Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) to bring information from the TurboCAD^® User Guide, FAQs, YouTube tutorials, New Features documentation, press materials, blogs, and selected User Forum categories directly into your workflow. Copilot Professional adds advanced capabilities, including Talk to Your CAD Data for direct interaction with project files, General AI access for broader design and workflow support, and Text to Image for generating visual concepts during early exploration.

Available in Platinum and Pro variants, PBR simulates realistic light-material interactions for lifelike visuals. Features include HDRI adjustments, post-processing effects, and laser light simulation, ideal for architectural visualization and product design.

Tools like G2 curvature blending, edge treatments (flanges, grooves), and surface tools (Tangent Cover, Rebuild) provide precise control over complex geometries, supporting mechanical and organic design needs.

Validate designs with tools for 3D print checks, wall thickness analysis, and support structures. CNC-ready workflows and auto-positioning ensure models meet manufacturing standards.

Design parametric doors/windows, composite walls, and detailed woodworking joints (dovetails, dado cuts) with customizable edge treatments for bespoke craftsmanship.

TurboCAD^® Mac ensures seamless collaboration with support for 30+ file formats (e.g., DWG, STEP, SketchUp, PDF, STL). This enables effortless import/export with tools like AutoCAD^®, Adobe Illustrator^®, and CNC machines, streamlining cross-platform workflows for architects, engineers, and manufacturers.

The Dark and Light mode graphics have been updated throughout the interface, improving the appearance of dialogs, menus, and tool palettes. These updates provide clearer contrast, better readability, and a more consistent visual experience across both themes, ensuring that the interface remains comfortable to use in a wide range of lighting conditions.

Copilot Render turns CAD drawings into expressive visual concepts using natural‑language prompts. It generates styled renderings directly on top of the existing geometry, supports multiple variations, and enables rapid exploration of materials, lighting, and design alternatives. It also allows adding, removing, or modifying shapes, works with 2D and 3D files, and can use reference images for materials and style—making it ideal for early‑stage visualization, reviews, and presentation‑ready concepts.

Copilot’s Part Finder is an intelligent CAD‑parts search tool that helps engineers quickly locate and reuse components from a 770,000‑part library covering major standards such as ANSI, ISO, and DIN. It supports natural‑language search and automatically selects the best mode: Search Parts for precise component queries, Company Catalog for browsing part families, List Companies for viewing all supported standards and suppliers, and Help for guidance on effective part descriptions.

A Skin Solid with Center Line creates a 3D solid by sweeping a sequence of closed 2D profiles along a center‑line path. The profiles must be selected in the order in which they form the solid (use Shift‑Select to pick them sequentially). If a profile consists of multiple curves, the curves must be grouped before use. This tool is ideal for creating smooth, blended shapes—such as pipes, rails, housings, or mechanical transitions—where the geometry changes along a defined path.

The Pipe tool has been extended to support three additional cross‑section types: Rounded Rectangle, N‑Sided, and Coils. Each pipe is generated along a selected curve path, and the resulting solid remains linked to the path—so any edits to the path automatically regenerate the pipe.

TurboCAD introduces a set of new rendering assets that bring greater range and refinement to visual workflows. The updated Studio Backgrounds add six ready‑made environments available in both the Render Library and Render Settings, offering clean studio setups for product shots and lighting exploration. The expanded Carbon Fiber Textures collection includes six distinctive composite patterns—from Twill Weave to Forged—giving mechanical and product designs a broader palette of realistic finishes. Completing the set, eight new Wood Materials provide richer natural surfaces for architectural scenes and presentation‑ready imagery. Together, these additions offer a more versatile foundation for high‑quality rendering.
