NOVATO, Calif. – May 11, 2026 – IMSI^® Design, a leader in CAD software innovation, announces the release of TurboCAD^® 2026, a milestone upgrade that advances performance, interoperability, visualization, and AI‑powered design assistance. With more than 100 new features and enhancements, TurboCAD^® 2026 delivers a faster, more intuitive, and more intelligent design environment for professionals across architecture, engineering, manufacturing, and visualization. 

Performance, User Interface & Usability

TurboCAD^® 2026 introduces a modernized interface with a new Dark/Light Theme Toggle, a redesigned Draw Menu, and a faster Command Finder that surfaces tools instantly with predictive suggestions and visual icons.

The Drafting Palette now adapts more fluidly to evolving models, keeping annotations stable while allowing objects to be added or removed at any time. Additional refinements include clearer Start Page messaging, a Recent Commands menu for quick access, and an updated WebView2 engine for smoother, more responsive HTML‑based components.

Installation & Deployment

A new Unified Multi‑Language Installer simplifies setup by including all supported languages in a single package. Users can select their preferred interface language during installation and switch languages at any time without reinstalling.

TurboCAD^® 2026 is fully localized in English, French, and German. Additional languages are included in the installer, but their localization work is going on. Updated language files will be delivered through upcoming in‑app patches as localization work continues.

TurboCAD^® 2026 also introduces smarter file organization for images, reports, and logs, along with a Clean Startup mode that bypasses initial dialogs for troubleshooting or controlled deployment.

Interoperability & File Formats

TurboCAD^® 2026 integrates updated Teigha (ODA) libraries for improved DWG/DXF compatibility and adds direct 2D Adobe PDF import, converting PDF drawings into editable CAD geometry. New IGES options provide both ODA‑based and ACIS‑powered import paths, supporting a wide range of engineering workflows. This release also updates native CAD translator support for SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, and Solid Edge in the Platinum product.

2D, 3D & Modeling Enhancements

New drafting and modeling tools expand creative and technical control. Graphic on Path enables smooth placement of objects along curves, while the enhanced Split Tool supports precise, dimension‑driven segmentation.

For 3D workflows, TurboCAD^® 2026 introduces Direct 2D Unfolding for sheet metal, an improved Unbend Tool with K‑Factor control, a Closed Loft option for continuous surfaces, and Imprint Projection for embedding curves or text directly into solids.

Rendering and Visualization

TurboCAD^® 2026 delivers the fastest ACIS performance to date, with 10–15× faster render‑prep for models using multiple face materials. The Visualize engine has been updated for smoother navigation, improved stability, and more accurate display of complex assemblies.

Copilot — Smarter, More Integrated Assistance

The new Copilot Render, available in the Copilot Professional add‑on, brings concept visualization directly into TurboCAD. Describe the style, lighting, materials, or mood you want, and Copilot generates expressive concept images right on top of your drawing—without changing geometry or leaving the workspace. Variations appear instantly, making it easy to compare directions and refine ideas as they develop. Each result is saved as a Copilot Named View, so designers can revisit concepts or branch into new ones at any time. Copilot Render turns early‑stage visualization into a fast, intuitive part of the design process, fully integrated with the technical model. Additional Copilot Professional capabilities include Copilot‑generated textures and a Part Finder for mechanical components.

The new Command Assistant interprets natural‑language requests and surfaces relevant commands instantly. The Smart Help Trigger displays contextual guidance as tools are activated, while new toggle‑based request tabs make Copilot interactions clearer and more predictable.

Executive Insights

“Copilot Render is a breakthrough for early‑stage visualization,” says Tim Olson, Vice President of IMSI^® Design. “Designers can explore ideas instantly, right inside the CAD environment, without breaking their workflow. Combined with faster ACIS performance and smarter interoperability, TurboCAD 2026 delivers meaningful improvements for professional design.”

“TurboCAD 2026 delivers a cleaner, faster, and more intuitive design experience across the entire product,” says Rita Buschmann, Vice President of Product Management, CAD and Home Design. “From the modernized interface and unified installer to improved drafting tools, smarter file handling, and major performance gains in ACIS and Visualize, this release strengthens everyday workflows for professionals. Our focus was clarity, speed, and reliability — helping users stay productive from the moment TurboCAD launches.”
