ePlan is the best product in this business. ePlan performs well, has never issues, so it functions always well and with the use of ePlan it is for us possible to generate about 80% of our drawings. This saves us a lot of time and costs and the time to market gets shorter with the use of ePlan.
It is fully capable of all the design work you can give it. I have even designed houses with it. Turbo CAD Pro Platinum is all I have used for going on 3 years now. I don't know if other versions can do or can't do. If you are a graphic designer, you would need to port the files to a higher end program to manipulate the colors and renderings. For engineering and in-house work it is perfect.
TurboCAD does all of the things we need it to do and some. The wide variety of options to create specificity in each of our projects is a large plus. The reason it was given a 9 is because the learning curve can be a little steep and sometimes certain processes are not as intuitive as they could be
ePlan is the most suited product if you are looking for a product to design panels and draw electrical schemes. ePlan offers great functionability compared to AutoCAD Electrical. ePlan also offers good export functionalibilty, which enables further customization and automation. ePlan is the most used product, so when looking for new employees the most of them have experience in using ePlan.
TurboCAD is a well-priced solution for a small business, it comes standard with 3D modeling compared to DraftSight which does not. The user interface could be updated along with industry-standard shortcut keys but for the number of drawings we do, this package fills the gap. The DXF / DWG feature could be worked on too, as above, trying to get in line with other packages like AutoCAD & DraftSight would make the whole package better. All in all, I believe that TurboCAD has a valid foothold in the CAD industry.
