1. COMPATIBILITY
Unrivaled Autodesk AutoCAD® software Compatibilit
CMS IntelliCAD® 8.x provides a high degree of compatibility with the
AutoCAD® software command set, as well as LISP and ADS. That means you
can get to work immediately using the AutoCAD® software files, commands
and applications you rely on.
AutoCAD® software & Native .dwg file Support - including version 2.52014
Like AutoCAD® software and AutoCAD LT® software, IntelliCAD® uses .dwg
file as its native file format. IntelliCAD® opens, edits, and saves any existing
.dwg file files saved in version 2.5 through 2014, without conversion or data
loss. That makes CMS IntelliCAD® 8.x more compatible with older versions of
AutoCAD® software than AutoCAD® software itself!
3-D Surface Commands
IntelliCAD®'s sophisticated 3-D capability allows creation of high-quality 3-D
models. You can display them as wireframes, with hidden lines removed, or
with surface shading.
IntelliCAD® 8 PE+ supports ACIS solid modeling. IntelliCAD® 6 PE preserves
and round trips any ACIS 3-D data it encounters in AutoCAD® softwarecreated drawing files.
Autodesk Development System (ADS) support
To run your custom Autodesk Development System (ADS) applications in
IntelliCAD, simply recompile them using the libraries included on the
IntelliCAD® CD-ROM. That's all it takes. Prominent third-party developers are
recompiling their popular ADS and C++ applications to run with IntelliCAD,
too.
"IntelliCAD supports ADS very well. Several developers have reported being
able to port their applications successfully to IntelliCAD with just a simple
recompile." - Evan Yares, Byte Magazine, February 1998
ACIS 3D solid modeling only PE+ (only Premium Plus Edition)
CMS IntelliCAD® PE+ is able create, edit, import and export ACIS .sat 3D solid
files, ACIS v23 version . PE users can download and install and use CMS
IntelliCAD® Traceparts 1.0 for FREE. From CMS IntelliCAD® it's possible to
access more than 1 million part drawings in .dwg file, .dxf file and solid 3D
ACIS file format.
IntelliCAD® 8.x PE+ supports ACIS solid modeling. IntelliCAD® 8.x PE
preserves and round trips any ACIS 3-D data it encounters in AutoCAD®
software-created drawing files or SAT drawing files created in other 3D cad
package.
Digitizer Support
Many drafting departments have established routines using digitizers within
their CAD workgroup. For CAD departments that utilize digitizers as input
devices, IntelliCAD® is now a viable option, providing advanced Windows
features and AutoCAD® software-compatibility at an affordable price.
IntelliCAD® supports both tablet mode for tracing and the use of tablet menus
for command input.
AutoLISP support (including .DCL)
IntelliCAD® preserves your investment in existing custom applications by
supporting the LISP programming language. You can run LISP applications that
reference any of the hundreds of AutoCAD® software commands with little or
no modification. What's more, IntelliCAD® reads DCL files that contain dialog
control language statements.
"I find IntelliCAD® to be a very impressive CAD engine. The
compatibility with our existing AutoCAD® software 12 DOS Drawings and LISP
created over the years is an absolute plus." - Richard Nichols, Fagan
Engineers
Support for AutoCAD® software command line
IntelliCAD® supports hundreds of AutoCAD® software commands. Select
AutoCAD® software commands from the pull-down menus and toolbar icons,
or type AutoCAD® software command syntax at the optional command line
prompt - whichever best fits your work style.
"I'm an experienced AutoCAD® user... [I] tried dozens of the most
obscure AutoCAD® commands I know, and found only a very few that haven't
been implemented in IntelliCAD. - Evan Yares, Byte Magazine, February 1998
"Anyone using AutoCAD® can open this program up and immediately be
productive using their AutoCAD® skills. This is a very exciting product." Barry Bowen, Barry Bowen Associates, Memphis, TN
2. PRODUCTIVITY
Exceptional Productivity
IntelliCAD® offers smooth Microsoft Windows integration plus many unique
productivity features.
Photorealistic 3-D Real time shading and Professional photorealistic
3D Rendering and lightinghotorealistic

reflectance type for the rendering. Choose from shiny plastic (the
default), dull plastic, shiny metal, dull metal, mirror and glass.
Material Editor
Lights editing lets you model four light types: Spot, Point, Distant or
Parallel, and Ambient.
Lighting Studio
An Image Background Editor lets you modify the background (those
parts of an image not covered by the rendering model). Choose from
constant (single color), graduated (blend of two colors), clouds, or an
imported image.
Background rendering
Microsoft ActiveX support including in-place editing
IntelliCAD® fully supports Microsoft ActiveX (Not yet supported on v7.x). You
can edit embedded ActiveX objects — including Visio Technical drawings,
Microsoft Word documents, and Microsoft Excel charts — contained in
IntelliCAD® drawings. You can also edit IntelliCAD® drawings in-place from
within any ActiveX-compatible program.
Drawing Explorer™ for managing layers, blocks, line types, and more
With IntelliCAD®'s Drawing Explorer™, you can browse the contents of your
drawings as easily as you browse files in the Windows Explorer. Open multiple
drawings in the Drawing Explorer™ and then view all of the layers, blocks,
linetypes, styles, views, and user coordinate systems currently in use. You can
even copy and paste elements between drawings, or switch to a thumbnail
view to preview blocks. This means you can easily make use of existing
designs and drawing setups.
"IntelliCAD® is much more intuitive than AutoCAD® software, with
better on-screen hinting and help." - Paul Nishman, NISH
Graphical Block Preview
IntelliCAD® provides the Drawing Explorer™, which lets you browse the
contents of drawings as easily as you browse files in the Windows Explorer.
Open multiple drawings in the Drawing Explorer and then view all of the layers,
blocks, linetypes, styles, views, and coordinate systems in use. Within the
Drawing Explorer, you can copy and paste between drawings, or switch to a
thumbnail view to preview blocks.
Work with multiple open drawings (MDI)
According to the AutoCAD® software Users Group International, the Multiple
Document Interface (MDI) is one of the most requested features for
AutoCAD® software. IntelliCAD® fully supports MDI. That means you can:




Review two or more drawings at once.
Easily copy objects from one drawing to another.
Copy elements, such as layers, linetypes, and text styles, from one
drawing to another using the Drawing Explorer.
Load and edit drawings that appear as xref (externally referenced)
drawings.
Thanks to IntelliCAD®'s MDI support, you can set up your work environment
more efficiently by opening multiple drawings simultaneously in a single
drawing session.
Real Time Pan & Zoom
IntelliCAD® allows users to work with their drawings using Real Time Pan and
Zoom. This functionality makes viewing and navigating around your
.Autodesk® .dwg file™ format drawing files easier and more productive.
Right-mouse click to edit properties of multiple selected entities
With IntelliCAD®, you can modify the properties of more than one entity at a
time. For example, you might use IntelliCAD®'s "Entprop" command to select
all entities on a particular layer, then use the Layer text box to move those
entities to another layer. You could also change all the entities in one color to
another color.
" I really like how the cursor (or pick point) ignores the snap setting until
the command is executed. This makes it much easier for the object selection
with snap turned on." - James Dory, James Dory Design
Script Recorder
Like a macro in Word, a script mimics what you type, including command
names, options and coordinates. IntelliCAD® fully supports scripting. In fact, it
reads and writes the same script files (.SCR) that work in AutoCAD® software.
IntelliCAD®, however, provides several scripting enhancements that vastly
improve your productivity:




An automatic launch feature:
Double-click an SCR script file in Windows Explorer and you'll open
IntelliCAD® and run the script instantly.
A script recorder:
Use the script recorder to automatically capture your keystrokes and
mouse actions including menu picks, toolbar button selections, and
screen picks. To review the script, simply play it back.
A script append feature:
Use this feature to add new scripts to existing ones.
Enhanced scripting commands:
IntelliCAD®'s commands include Recscript, which begins the recording,
and Stopscript, which stops any script that's running.
Unlimited "Undo" & "Redo"
Go ahead and try out all your drawing ideas. IntelliCAD® lets you "Undo and
"Redo" an unlimited number of editing actions. (With AutoCAD® software, you
can "Undo" an unlimited number of actions, but you can only "Redo" one.)
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)
CMS IntelliCAD® 8.0 PE & PE+ includes a full implementation of Microsoft
Visual Basic for Applications Edition (VBA), a development environment that
simplifies the creation and execution of custom applications.
Visual customization of menus and toolbar
Place the tools, commands, and shortcuts you need at your fingertips without
resorting to programming. Simply drag and drop tools to create custom
toolbars, or modify menus with a few clicks of your mouse.
IntelliCAD® also supports AutoCAD® software menus, fonts, scripts, and
symbol libraries, so you can easily transfer your custom AutoCAD® software
environment into IntelliCAD®.
IntelliCAD®: AutoCAD® software Menu (MNU) & Script (SCR) Files
IntelliCAD® supports AutoCAD® software menus (MNU), dialog boxes (DCL),
fonts (SHX), scripts (SCR), and symbol libraries, so you can easily transfer
custom AutoCAD® software environments into IntelliCAD® and continue
working in your favorite drafting environment.
Raster Image Display
IntelliCAD® lets you view and export WMF, EMF (Enhanced Metafile), and SLD
(slide) files. It also displays any BMP, GIF, JPG, TIF, PCX, and CALS Type 1
images that are embedded in .dwg file files using the raster technology
licensed from Adeko.
