IMSI TurboSite v1.1 for AEC on iPad Adds AutoShapes

Includes gesture-based drawing capabilities.

By DE Editors  

January 18, 2013

IMSI/Design announced TurboSite v1.1 for iPad. Included in TurboSite v1.1 are AutoShapes, an intuitive way to draw accurate geometry with simple gestures.

"AutoShapes are the first gestured-based way to draw in a mobile AEC app," said Royal Farros, CEO of IMSI/Design. "We think AutoShapes are another good example of the type of tools needed for the new mobile platform."

Also included in the solution is HTML reporting. Data recorded in the field can now auto-generate HTML reports, letting all OS platforms view TurboSite data, including Android and Surface tablets and desktop computers.

Other features include AutoCAD 2013 DWG support; geo-located DWG support; Dropbox support; improved DWF support; text auto-sizes based on specified percentage; and; enhanced 3D PDF (U3D) support.
