This book aims to help companies, self-employed professionals, and individuals looking for cost-effective CAD software that provides the basic and necessary tools for 2D and 3D computer-aided design. It contains a detailed description of the program and shows the first steps in the professional handling of TurboCAD© 2018 in a "step by step" tutorial based on a practice-oriented exercise example. In addition, tips and tricks in two and three-dimensional drawing are shown, which specifically optimize working in technical professions, so as to prevent unnecessary stress and save time, and as a result money as well. The wide ranging possibilities of TurboCAD© are shown, so that the reader can evaluate for themselves whether the supplied tools meet their own requirements. All commands, tools, and procedures presented in this book refer to the TurboCAD© 2018 "Pro Platinum" version. However, many of the commands shown are already included in previous software versions.

Bosse, Matthias
Matthias Bosse completed an apprenticeship as a draftsman and then a bachelor´s and master´s degree at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences in the field of process and supply engineering. During his training and later professional career, he gained experience with various CAD software (including SolidWorks©, AutoCAD©, MagiCAD©, MicroStation©) and subsequently got to know the different working methods and program designs. As a mechanical engineer in shipbuilding in Hamburg, he came in contact with the software TurboCAD©. He quickly familiarized himself with it through training and the almost daily use of the software. He currently works as an independent design engineer under the name of CryoCAD Consulting & Engineering (www.cryocad.com) and offers design services in the areas of mechanical engineering and plant design as well as offering TurboCAD© training.
