2D drawing and labeling

Find and Replace Text
A new tool "Find and Replace Text" has been added to the Edit menu. The user can find a specific text in the drawing and replace it with another word with one click. With a variety of advanced search and text options, the user can easily find the specific text and replace it with less effort.

Automatic Labels
A new tool "Automatic Labels" has been added to the dimension menu in TurboCAD 2023. The purpose of this tool is to automatically add labels (guide dimensions) to the drawing with just a few clicks. These labels can be arranged in a circular formation or along a polyline. Once the labels have been generated, a parts list with labeling details is created.

Interoperability / data exchange

TurboCAD 2023 now offers the ability to control units when opening an AutoCAD file. Previously, TurboCAD did not understand the original scale of the drawing and assumed units in English|Architecture with a strange scale. As a solution, a new radio button "Use plot units as drawing units" has been added to the DWG/DXF import setup dialog.

AutoCAD 2023 support

ODA has been updated to version 23.8 in TurboCAD 2023.
