Title: ZWcad and Turbocad Post by: Diac on September 23, 2012, 01:58:19 13:58 While looking for CAD-Software to make, validate and edit 3D models in the STEP model for use in EDA-software. I did a survay of available packages. It seems that open-source support for the STEP format is rather lacking at the moment. However, there are initiatives (BRL-Cad, Blender CAD...) but they do not seem mature at this point. In commercial software, 2 'purchasable' candidates remained; being Turbocad and ZWcad. ZWcad seems a bit more suited for real CAD/mechanical work, as where turbocad seems more suited for architectural work. ZWcad also costs quite a bit less than turbocad. (you need Turbocad platinum to be able to fully edit 3D step models) I guess ZWcad it will be. For evaluation; ZWcad 3D-2012 R1: http://www.netload.in/dateiInHvqXoLPL/r-zw3d12.part1.rar.htm http://www.netload.in/dateioBenBaoDN7/r-zw3d12.part2.rar.htm http://www.netload.in/dateiQmwm1fF12P/r-zw3d12.part3.rar.htm or http://rapidgator.net/file/33902575/r-zw3d12.part1.rar.html http://rapidgator.net/file/33902812/r-zw3d12.part2.rar.html http://rapidgator.net/file/33902348/r-zw3d12.part3.rar.html Turbocad 19 Platinum: http://rapidgator.net/file/39934851/IMSI.TurboCAD.Pro.Platinum.v19.0.Incl.Keymaker-CORE.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/4388605/IMSI.TurboCAD.Pro.Platinum.v19.0.Incl.Keymaker-CORE.part1.rar.html http://rapidgator.net/file/4388516/IMSI.TurboCAD.Pro.Platinum.v19.0.Incl.Keymaker-CORE.part2.rar.html Title: Re: ZWcad and Turbocad Post by: Ichan on September 24, 2012, 06:39:30 18:39 What is the most used FREE cad software, both for 2D and 3D?
While searching I found: - gCAD3D : http://www.gcad3d.org/ (http://www.gcad3d.org/) - FreeCAD : http://sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/) Are they good? -ichan Title: Re: ZWcad and Turbocad Post by: solutions on September 24, 2012, 06:52:44 18:52 If you want free, a lot of people use Sketchup http://sketchup.google.com/download/
If you want cheap (I've seen them run specials for $99), the best one out there, IMO, is Alibre: http://www.alibre.com/products/hobby/ The rest is junk, IMO. You'll burn more time on junk in a few hours than you would buying a proper tool. If your time is completely worthless, you have absolutely nothing better to do, and you'll live until the Sun supernovas, then go for it.

I am not a fan of big box bloatware (Auto-Cad, Solid Works, PTC Creo / elements/ pro-E) And Sketchup doesn't have good import/export functions. Seems to be a good CAD tool for NON-CAD kind of people doing NON-CAD kind of jobs. I've tried TurboCAD and found it kind of cumbersome and feature lacking (years ago, maybe its better now) I posted TurboCAD v19.1 (x32 & x64) BTW right here: http://www.sonsivri.to/forum/index.php?topic=11684.msg137983#msg137983 Alibre looks pretty awesome.. it reminds me of SpaceClaim which, I find fairly usable having migrated from Rhino. Don't know about the plug-in support. Anybody have Alibre links? Title: Re: ZWcad and Turbocad Post by: tienngoc on September 26, 2012, 10:02:50 10:02 I have just found these links
