NOVATO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- Sep 06, 2012 -- IMSI®/Design, the developer of the popular free TurboViewer® DWG viewing app for iOS and Android, as well as TurboCAD®, the #1 best-selling CAD in retail, today announced TurboReview™, the first 2D and 3D mobile mark-up solution for the AEC world to support 3D PDF (U3D).

"Having a lightning-fast mobile app that lets you markup and measure a wide range of industry standard 2D and 3D documents, like DWG and 3D PDF, is a huge advantage for those in the field," stated Royal Farros, CEO of IMSI/Design.
