First, let me apologize for posting to the wrong forum. I know this says AutoCAD, not TurboCAD. However, this site has no TurboCAD forum listed, and I need the answer to a couple of questions. I was desperately hoping that I might find a turbocad user here.

Question 1. File format(s) supported. Turbocad advertisement says that it supports file formats such as .DXF and .WMF. Does it also saves files in DirectX's .X format?

Question 2. The advertisement is sort of vague, or general on what type of models it a user can create with the package. Generally, I get the idea that it can create squares, boxes, arcs, and such. Can it also create spheres (especially spheres?) and other round objects. (Now, I'm strecthing the functionality of the product here, Can it also be used to create human forms, or other organic lifeforms?)

Question 3. In other words, can TuroCad be used as a low-end production system in place of packages like 3D Studio Max, Maya, Truespace, etc.

Question 4. I've seen a Best Buy ad for both TurboCAD 6.0 and 8.5. What does 8.5 have that 6.0 doesn't?

Thanks, and once again, I apologize for posting this question in the wrong forum.
