http://www.cadcourse.com/ Feedback for v14
Haven't had the problems with DWG compatibility
Feedback from forums is positive.
IMSI Design active participants in ODA
Scandal in the ODA
Lawsuit between ODA and Autodesk
Method to circumvent non-original DWG warning
Fraudulent accounting activity in the ODA?
ODA supplies libraries for TurboCAD
Latest compatibility with 2007-2008
Future direction of TurboCAD v14 with add-on packs.
V13 started with Mechanical and Architectural add-ons packs
Contain more sophisticated tools such as branch lofting in Mechanical pack
TurboCAD Pro positioned in the middle of the CAD world
Big enhancements will be in the form of packs
Packs will be price modestly to make it an easy purchasing position
Add-packs will only work with the Pro products.
Designer and Deluxe are consumer products
ADD-ons created with the SDK?
Big initiative for upcoming releases will be the SDK to expose more functionality of the program
Want to encourage third party developers to create add-on plug-ins
AutoCAD successfully encouraged developers and this is also IMSI's goal.
