TurboCAD Formats
There are three TurboCAD file formats, TCW, TCT, and
TCX, that you can use for saving vector graphics from within
TurboCAD.
TCW: (TurboCAD for Windows) - a file format for saving
vector graphics from within TurboCAD.
TCT: (TurboCAD Template) - a file format for saving
TurboCAD drawings as templates. TurboCAD uses a
template for starting a new drawing. You can save any
drawing as a template.
TCX: A file format for saving a TurboCAD drawing as an
ASCII file.
NOTE: If you need to save a drawing that is to be opened by
an earlier version of TurboCAD, you can save as Version 8.
TCW, TCT, TCX Import Setup
Restore render view: Opens the drawing in render mode.
The file must have been saved in render mode.
TCW, TCT, TCX Export Setup
NOTE: Display the SDK Samples toolbar by right-clicking in
any toolbar area and selecting SDK Samples.
Opens the TurboCAD File Convertor window, in which
you can select a source and destination folder for batch
conversion. Use the Files of type field to select the
2For updates and additional information,
Compression: Saves the file in the TCT compressed format.
If the speed of operation is more important than the file size,
leave this option disabled.
Full Precision: TurboCAD stores your objects with the
maximum possible accuracy. Full Precision enables the
maximum depth of mathematical calculations performed to
Chapter 1 Getting Started
generate and save entities. When disabled, entities will be
calculated and saved using only to four decimal points of
precision. This results in faster execution and smaller files,
but may compromise accuracy.
NOTE: Less than full accuracy can affect the ability of the
program to correctly display and edit objects at extremely
small scales. Unless you are using a slow machine, and know
you do not need extreme accuracy, you should leave Full
Precision on.
Other CAD Formats
The following formats can be read by TurboCAD, either for
import, export, or both. Some formats have a Setup in which
you can set certain parameters for conversion. If you do not
specify conversion parameters, the defaults will be used. (If
no Setup is indicated, the conversion requires no additional
input.)
NOTE: Some of these formats are available in TurboCAD
Professional only.

(View).
Use Render: Available only when Render or Hidden Line
mode is active. If checked, the exported image will show the
render displayed on the screen.
Size of Rectangle: Sets up the resolution for the exported
graphics. By default, these values are 400 x 400 but you can
customize the height and width
• Maximum resolution: The drawing will be defined
by a rectangular matrix of 2000 x 2000 logical pixels.
If there is at least one image object, this is set to 1000
x 1000.
• Keep View Rectangle Aspect Ratio: Keeps the same
ratio of length to width.
NOTE: You can determine an object’s type by using the
Selection Info Palette. See "Selection Info Palette" on page
from a 3DS file. If not checked, saves TurboCAD materials.
Save Keyframe: Saves the hierarchical structure of entities
in a file. Do not check this option for 3DS files that you want
to use as 3DS symbols in FloorPlan.

Chapter 1 Getting Started
DGN Import Setup
View Number: By default, the view number is 1.
Line Widths: You customize a set of drawing line widths
identified by the indexes (0, 1, 2, etc.). To do this, use the
two-column LineWidth control ,where the Index column
provides a reference to a particular line width, and the Width
column is a data entry field. You can scale the line width
values, using the WidthScale data entry field.
Fonts: As with the drawing line widths, the import file's
fonts are indexed. For every index in the Index column, you
can select a font from the corresponding drop-down list in
the Font column. In addition to the options of the Fonts
control, there is the Default Font entry field whose
drop-down list lets you select a common font for the ones
you haven't changed.
Set Defaults: Instead of customizing the imported file
options, you can apply the default settings for the DGN file
import. To do this, click Set Defaults.
Default font index to export: The DGN format requires the
export file's fonts to be indexed. For every listed font, you
can select an index. In addition to the options of the Fonts
control, there is the Default Index entry field whose
drop-down list lets you select a common index for the fonts
you have not changed.
DWF Export Setup
Output Format: If Readable is selected, you can later open
the exported file to view and/or edit via a text editor.
Skip Invisible Layers: Invisible layers will not be included
in the export file. See "Setting Up Layers" on page 99.
Precision: Sets the export precision between 16 and 32 bits.
For simple drawings there is little visual difference. More
complex drawings and fine details require higher precision,
but increasing the precision increases the file size.
DGN Export Setup
Ve rs io n : Choose between Versions 7 and 8.

TurboCAD Reference Manual
DXF (DWG) Import Setup
Open mode:
• Open without audit: Opens the file without checking
it. If the file has errors, it will not be opened.
• Open with audit: Opens the file and corrects errors
when possible. The report is displayed only if errors
are found. The file is checked is after it is loaded into
memory, though if the file is very corrupt it may not be
able to be loaded into memory.
• Recover: Opens the file and corrects errors. The report
is automatically displayed, regardless of errors. The
file is checked before loading it into memory.
File Units: Replaces the units of an imported file with the
selected units.
Default text font: Sets a default import font.
Overwrite existing entries for: AutoCAD stores the
settings (or values) for its operating environment and some
of its commands in system variables. Checking this box
overwrites these settings. In TurboCAD, these settings
include World units, the numerical display format, the
angular system, etc.
You can overwrite system variables for objects under the
following conditions: the DXF/DWG drawing is inserted
into an open file, and both files (the imported file and the
receiving file), have system variables (views, blocks, layers
and/or line styles) of the same names.
DXF (DWG) Export Setup
Save As: Select the AutoCAD version.
Precision: The number of decimal places for numerical
values of the exported file.
Rewrite embedded images: Relevant for files that contain
image objects. Choose whether to replace images.

blocks when imported into AutoCAD.
Unblock: Explodes blocks into its constituent objects.
Explode Text: Explodes any text into its constituent parts.
EPS Import Setup
Import to: Choose whether the imported file will open in
Model Space or Paper Space.
PostScript Level: Level 2 is a more sophisticated version of
PostScript. It provides color extensions, support for fonts
with many characters, filters (for compression, etc.) and
improved image handling (inclusion of JPEG files, etc).

the two-dimensional presentation of your drawing. Check
Max Resolution to set the maximum 1600x1600 resolution.
Output file: Exports to a binary or readable format.
Header: Specify whether to include a preview image, and in
what format.
FCW Import Setup
IGS Import Setup
Adjust line pattern scale: Line style for improving line
display. Because IGS files can be created in a variety of
ways, either option (on or off) may work to improve
precision during import.
JPG Export Setup
Create Model Space Viewports: Specify whether to create
viewports for the Model Space presentation of your drawing.
FP3 Import Setup
Level: Choose to import all levels of the floor plan, or to
import only a selected level.
In FloorPlan, each story is a level. Within each level,
drawing objects are automatically organized into layers.
TurboCAD supports the FP3 layer structure.
contact us at www.turbocad.com7
Output Range: Creates an export file either out of the entire
drawing (All) or only the part that is currently in view
(View).
Use Render: Available only when Render or Hidden Line
mode is active. If checked, the exported image will show the
render displayed on the screen.
JPEG quality factor: Your goal is generally to pick the
lowest quality setting, or smallest file size, that
decompresses into an image indistinguishable from the
original. This setting can vary, but here are some rules of
thumb. For good-quality, full-color source images, the
default quality setting (Q 75) is very often the best choice.
This setting is about the lowest you can go without expecting
to see defects in a typical image. Try Q 75 first; if you see
defects, then increase. If the image was less than perfect
TurboCAD Reference Manual
quality to begin with, you might be able to drop down to Q
50 without objectionable degradation. On the other hand,
you might need a higher quality setting to avoid further loss.
This is often necessary if the image contains dithering or
moire patterns. Except for experimental purposes, avoid
values above Q 95; Q 100 will produce a file two or three
times as large as Q 95, but with negligible quality
improvement.
Size of Rectangle: Sets the resolution for the exported
graphics. By default, these values are 600 x 800 but you can
customize the height and width
• Maximum resolution: The drawing will be defined
by a rectangular matrix of 2000 x 2000 logical pixels.
If there is at least one image object, this is set to 1000
x 1000.
NOTE: You can determine an object’s type by using the
Selection Info Palette. See "Selection Info Palette" on page
162.
PLT Import Setup
Import to: Choose whether to open the imported file in
Model or Paper Space.
PLT Export Setup
Orientation: Sets the paper orientation to Portrait (vertical)
or Landscape (horizontal).
SAT Import Setup
Mode: Choose one of the modes for representing SAT
objects.
Default: The choice of the polygon type is determined by the
surface type in the solid object model (planar, cylindrical,
spherical, toroidal, etc.)
3, 4, n-sided polygons: The number of sides of polygons
used for object representation.
If you wish to check what type of polygon is used for the
object presentation in an imported SAT file, do the
following.
1.Once the SAT file has been imported, select an object
in the drawing, make a block of it, and bring this block
onto the paper of the TurboCAD desktop.
2.Open the Properties window for this block, open the
BlockInsertion page, and assign non-zero values to
the rotation coordinates.
3.When a 3D view of your object is displayed, select the
object and explode it.
4.After this you can display individual elements
(polygons) of the object by selecting the different parts
of objects.
SAT Export Setup
Explode text: Explodes any text into its constituent parts.
8For updates and additional information,
Select the SAT version for export.
Chapter 1 Getting Started
SHX Export Setup
SHX Export Quality Factor: A high value creates shapes
that more accurately represent the selected geometry.
However, large values tend to create shapes that contain
more coordinate data and can be a processing burden during
regeneration. Low values create less accurate shapes that are
more quickly processed. You may need to experiment with
different values.
NOTE: SHX export does not create an *shx font file. Once
created, the results cannot be edited.
STL File Export Setup
Binary: Saves to a binary file.
Color Binary: Saves to a color binary file.
ASCII: Saves to an ASCII text file.
