Got GeoTIFF files? Carlson users are bringing drone images from Carlson PhotoCapture into Carlson Point Cloud for greater accuracy in land development projects. In a video from Carlson, you can watch GeoTIFF files be inserted into Carlson Point Cloud, which is based on the IntelliCAD engine, and then used with ground control points for surveying a driveway culvert site.

The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium (ITC) today announced the release of IntelliCAD 10.0a.

IntelliCAD 10.0a is a maintenance release for version 10.0 that was previously issued on July 30, 2020.

IntelliCAD maintenance releases concentrate on fixes, but IntelliCAD 10.0a includes minor new features: choose the color of print stamps, determine whether print stamps print upside down, and use the new Show Palettes and Hide Palettes commands. Also included for multiline text are superscript, subscript, and strikethrough character formatting; many new paragraph formatting options, and on-the-fly spell checking.

Other improvements and fixes are found in performance, editing and selecting entities, text, and blocks.

“The 10.0a maintenance release includes fixes in direct response to initial feedback from our summer 2020 release of IntelliCAD 10.0, which is packed with large and small features, all with big productivity improvements for IntelliCAD users,” commented David Lorenzo, ITC President. “Our close, co-op style collaboration allows us to quickly fix issues that have a direct impact on ITC members and their end users.”

IntelliCAD 10.0a is supported on Microsoft® Windows® 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7 64-bit versions. IntelliCAD Mobile Viewer versions are available for Windows desktop, Google® Android™, Apple® macOS® and iOS.
