CAD was originally developed in South Africa by Hendrik Vermooten and Hein Oosthuizen. Initial hardware support was for a specific device configuration Hercules monochrome graphics cards, HP7. The first version of Turbo. CAD fit on a single 3. IBM PC. The source code also fit on a single floppy disk along with the 3. Turbo Pascal 2. 0. Turbo. CAD was released around the same time as Generic CADD in the United States. Both Turbo. CAD and Generic CADDs marketing objectives were the same create a viable, low cost competitor to Auto. CAD. But because Generic CADD launched in the U. Converter Dwg To 3Ds here. S. before Turbo. CAD, it received much more positive press about its low price, approximately 6. The release of Generic CADD in the PC market was, at that time, the biggest CAD event since Autodesk had reinvented CAD pricing with its initial release in 1. South Africans Philip Copeman and Michael Cartwright worked on redesigning the product. Roy Abrams and Philip Copeman introduced it to the United Kingdom markets as Turbo. CAD in late 1. 98. This release was made under the brand Pink Software, with other stake holders John Glennie, Digby Prior, and Janine Copeman. Support was added for more video cards EGA, Olivetti, etc., input devices Summagraphics digitizer, and later, the first Microsoft Mouse. The cost was 9. 9. Turbo. CAD was a DOS product with limited device support, whereas Generic CADD was strong in this area. The turning point for the product came after Martin Sacks, the first US distributor, was able to get Digby Prior, a ton of plotters and printers, and a driver writing utility in the same room in Los Angeles. Sacks also created the first CAD symbols included with the product. Initially, in order to be able to support dot matrix printers, FPlot was sold as an add on to Turbo. CAD. Later, Turbo. CAD included native printer drivers for a variety of dot matrix, bubble jet, and laser printers. During this period, Rob Berry began working on the product as a Technical Writer. Moving to the USeditTurbo. CAD was first sold in the United States by Milan Systems of America in late 1. IMSI International Microcomputer Software, Inc3 mouse for 1. Both companies shared distribution responsibilities for the bundle. In 1. 99. 0, IMSI released its self developed version of Turbo. CAD, version 2 for DOS. IMSI had licensed the source code from the original developers, Pink Software, and programmer Kurt Diesch fixed bugs and added output support, as well as increased functionality to compete with other CAD programs under 5. Generic CADD, Drafix and Design CAD 2. D. Later Diesch ported code from the original Turbo Pascal to the later object oriented version that would eventually morph into Borland Delphi. This resulted in a major improvement to the DOS user interface. In the United States, Turbo. CAD was initially marketed through high tech, direct sales publications such as Computer Shopper and Info. World magazines. Computer Shopper proved to be the consistently profitable publication in which to advertise and monthly full page ads were run in this publication for the first two and a half years from Turbo. CADs introduction in the U. S. Computer Shopper ads not only established a strong and loyal end user base, but they also helped establish a loyal distribution network. Windows history and sales distributioneditWith the release of Turbo. CAD v. 2 DOS and v. Windows in 1. 99. IMSI decided to begin using direct mail campaigns as a means of cost effectively increasing its user base and over the next two years became the primary advertising technique. Revenues for direct mail sales of Turbo. CAD grew to over 2. U. S., Canada, UK and Australia. In 1. 99. 3, IMSI released the first Macintosh versions of Turbo. CAD Standard retailed for 1. Professional retailed for 4. D, wireframe functionality. This technology was purchased from Santiago Montufars company, Pegasus Software. In 1. 99. 3, IMSI began to outsource the development of Turbo. CAD. After a trip to Russia by Martin Sacks, IMSI hired 3 Russian programmers who began work on Turbo. CAD Windows v. 2. Included in these 3 original hires were Victor Bazarov, who later came to work in San Rafael for IMSI and Alex Presniak who went on to start Soft. Dev on behalf of IMSI. In 1. 99. 4, Michael Cartwright moved from South Africa to join IMSI in California and, along with Peter Zingg, led the Turbo. CAD for Windows v. Together those two were instrumental in IMSIs early offshore development success. During the v. 3 rewrite, the code was ported from Delphi to C and the UI was reformed to be Office Standard compliant. IMSI made the strategic decision to release v. Windows 3. 1 to Windows 9. Since then, Alex Presniak and many of the same Russian developers Sergey Nazarov, Turbo. CAD team leader Leonid Robin, SDK development continued to work on the Turbo. CAD code. By late 1. Turbo. CAD owners. From that point on response rates and ROIs returns on investment for direct mail began to decline due to over saturation and increasing printing and postage costs. As such, IMSI decided to reestablish its presence in the reseller market. Turbo. CAD quickly became a favorite of the reseller channel, successfully distributed through key software distributors like Ingram, Tech. Data and Merisel, and sold in retail locations like Micro.
