INTELLICAD CMS STD EN

CMSIntelliCAD®® 6 provides a high degree of compatibility with theAutoCAD® software command set, as well as LISP and ADS. That meansyou can get to work immediately using the AutoCAD® software files,commands and applications you rely on.

AutoCAD®software & Native .dwg file Support - including version 2.5-2010

LikeAutoCAD® software and AutoCAD LT® software, IntelliCAD® uses .dwgfile as its native file format. IntelliCAD® opens, edits, and savesany existing .dwg file files saved in version 2.5 through 2010,without conversion or data loss. That makes CMS IntelliCAD® 6 morecompatible 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® 6 PRO supports ACIS solid modeling. IntelliCAD® 6 PRO preserves and round trips any ACIS 3-D data it encounters in AutoCAD® software-created drawing files.

PRO 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® 6 PRO supports ACIS solid modeling. IntelliCAD® 6 PRO 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.

 

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

 

 

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.

Digitizer Support

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.

IntelliCAD® offers smooth Microsoft Windows integration plus many unique productivity features. 

Photorealistic 3-D Real time shading and Professional photorealistic 3D Rendering and lighting IntelliCAD® lets you easily create 3-D designs using the 3-D drawing tools. You can display hidden-line, shaded versions of your 3-D models or your existing 3-D libraries with a click of a button. CMS IntelliCAD lets you easily create 3-D designs using the 3-D drawing tools. You can display hidden-line, shaded, or fully rendered versions of your 3-D models or your existing 3-D libraries with a click of a button. You can choose professional-quality, preset options for lighting, surface materials, and backgrounds. With IntelliCAD's sophisticated raytracing capabilities, you can produce photorealistic 3-D renderings.

Microsoft ActiveX support including in-place editing IntelliCAD® fully supports Microsoft ActiveX (Not yet supported on v7). 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

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.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.

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.

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. A simple script created with the IntelliCAD® script recorder.

Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA) CMS IntelliCAD® 7 PRO includes a full implementation of Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications Edition (VSTA), a development environment that simplifies the creation and execution of Visual Studio applications.
