The old adage that most people only use a fraction of the features contained in a computer software program is applicable when comparing the features of AutoCAD® versus IntelliCAD.

IntelliCAD shares over 396 of the most important commands in AutoCAD as well as over 507 system variables. This means that the vast majority of CAD users will have more functionality than they will ever need when using the IntelliCAD program.

A full list of the features shared by both programs can be found in the link below.
