The highest compatibility with AutoCAD

The DWG file format used by AutoCAD is from far the most widely used among professionals for Computer Aided Design (CAD). There are some other software claiming to be compatible with this format but via import/export features. IntelliCAD goes further by using the DWG as its native file format : no import/export and therefore no loss of information.

You can as a result open and modify any file created with AutoCAD from the very first version to the 2009 one but also exchange your files with any professional in DWG or DXF.

This includes also support for layouts and configuration files (.pcp, .ctb and .stb, .pat , .lin) so you can display and print drawings with the highest quality.

With such compatibility you can also imagine to have in the same company AutoCAD and IntelliCAD users working on the same projects. A very similar look and feel

IntelliCAD brings you more than compatibility. Its look and feel is so close that users knowing about AutoCAD will find their way from the very first time : menus, layouts displayed in tabs, command bar, keyboard shortcuts, mouse buttons, IntelliCAD Explorer, layers, system variablesâ?¦

No training is therefore required for someone knowing about AutoCAD while beginners will benefit from the video tutorial provided but also from the help of more experienced friends/colleagues or the many forums that can be found over the Internet about IntelliCAD or AutoCAD.

If you are a company it is also good to know that you will always be able to recruit people who will know how to use IntelliCAD.

Much more powerful than a light version

Considering the price of AutoCAD many professionals finally choose AutoCAD LT. In IntelliCAD you will get many important features you would not get in a light version for only a portion of the price including Raster image support (you can insert an image as a background), programming languages support (lisp, C++) to add features, 3D Surfacic tools and renderingâ?¦ and much more !
