IMSI/Design updates their iPad TurboViewer Pro to 2.0

While Autodesk is still talking about adding 3D to its AutoCAD WS software, IMSI/Design has delivered its second release of TurboViewer Pro, which displays 2D and 3D CAD drawings. The non-Pro version is free; release 2.0 of the Pro edition is $20.

The primary feature in this new release is the support for 21 file formats, including multi-page formats (see list after the photo).

[Disclosure: IMSI/Design provided the iPad with which to test the software, which I can't, because Apple locks its app stores to countries.]

"We await the Android version."

I'm guessing the 'we' here is actually 'you', Ralph?

Man, and people talk about rabid iPhone fanboism :)

DF I think you're projecting a tad bit...there's nothing fanatical about expressing an interest in an app for more affordable platforms (or a more expensive one - as Apple users are use to asking if/when a Mac compatible whatever will be available market-share aside).

TurboCAD suite of CAD products don't exactly lack support for non Apple platforms - as a Windows TC Platinum user & Amazon Fire owning & loving cheapskate (hey this isn't Solidworks folks) I too would like to see an Android version of IMSI's TC viewer....just sayin' should they be listening.
