TurboCAD v8.2 patches for Pro, Standard and Designer

What's new in TurboCAD v8.2

TurboCAD Professional, Standard and Designer v8.0 users can now download (free of charge) a patch file to upgrade their version 8.0 and 8.1 files to version 8.2.
The patch file when run will ask for the original TurboCAD v8.0, v8.1 setup files. It will then use the older installation files to create a new set of installation files on the hard drive.


1. Download the patch file

Due to the largish nature of the download it has been supplied in two locations:

A. One File - recommended for High Bandwidth

For users of DSL or Cable, or other high bandwidth Internet connections:

TurboCADProfessionav82Patch.exe (14 MB)

TurboCAD82Patch.exe (8.6 MB) 

TurboCADDesignerv82Patch.exe (5.5 MB) 

If you are using MS Internet Explorer, right-click the file and choose "Copy to Folder" to copy the file to your hard drive.


B. Multi Files - recommended for Low Bandwidth

Users of a standard modem connection may be interested in downloading several small files rather than one big file. If your Internet connection is interrupted, it will be possible to continue the download from the most recently interrupted file rather than having to start the download process from scratch. 

Copy all the files to a temporary folder on your hard drive. Once the copying procedure is complete then run the "exe"  file from your hard drive. This will combine the segment files into one file. Please note that this extracting and combining process can take several minutes.

2. Run the patch file

Once the "TurboCADProfessionalv82Patch.exe", "TurboCAD82Patch.exe", or "TurboCADDesignerv82Patch.exe" file is located on your hard drive follow the instructions below.

A. Get your original v8.0, v8.1 CD and place it in your CD ROM. If the AutoRun installation page is launched click the "Exit" button to close this window.

B. Run the appropriate patch file for your version of TurboCAD and the patch should access the original TurboCAD v8.0, v8.1 CD and complete the update.

Note: If you purchased the ESD (Download) version of TurboCAD v8.0 the install files will most likely be located in the "C:\Program Files\TurboCAD Professional v8.0, v8.1 Setup" folder. If you cannot locate this folder you will have to reinstall v8.0, v8.1 and see where the default location for extracting the files is on your hard drive.
