Is Turbocad Mac v9 more similar to Shark or ViaCad? I can't really tell by looking at the Turbocad page because there are so many features similar to both. Any insight anyone?

TurboCAD Mac Designer similiar to ViaCAD 2D
TurboCAD Mac Deluxe similiar to ViaCAD 2D3D
TurboCAD Mac Pro similiar to ViaCAD Pro plus some Shark features

All products built from the same/current code stream.

Turbocad is not close to viacad. I've been using viacad 8 at work for the past couple years. What I didn't like about 8 was the flaky colors. Bought Turbocad 9 at Christmas, wildly disappointed, the offset feature doesn't seem to work in 3d mode. Alignment of objects is difficult. So I bought ViaCad 9 today, better colors and the woodworking tools are great shortcuts. Another disappointment with TC was the rendering, seems like everything just get melted together. Good luck RM
