Articles and Press Releases

The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium (ITC) today announced the release of IntelliCAD 10.1a.

IntelliCAD 10.1a is a maintenance release for version 10.1 that was previously issued on August 17, 2021.

IntelliCAD maintenance releases concentrate on fixes, but IntelliCAD 10.1a also contains these new features: import Microsoft® Excel® files; new capabilities when working with tables including data links, formulas, and cell formats; synchronize block attributes; and nudge entities using keyboard shortcuts. Many improvements are also found in the areas of publishing and sheet sets.

For IntelliCAD versions that work with Spatial ACIS solids, create planar surfaces and convert entities to NURBS surfaces.

David Lorenzo, ITC President, stated, “CAD users are appreciating the fast performance of IntelliCAD 10.1 which was released a few months ago, and IntelliCAD 10.1a continues with the new speed benchmarks while incorporating feedback received from our members. Here at the ITC, our members come first. ITC members task us with what their unique markets require, and we work to deliver it.”

IntelliCAD 10.1a is supported on Microsoft® Windows® 11, 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.

Interested IntelliCAD users can contact ITC members to receive details about availability of IntelliCAD software.

Developers who are taking an initial look at various CAD platforms can find it helpful to see user interfaces and what they're capable of. One option for finding out more about IntelliCAD is to take a look at the Using IntelliCAD guide available at lulu.com.

Using IntelliCAD describes how to use IntelliCAD to draw in 2D and 3D, view drawings, dimension entities, work with layers, insert blocks and external references, add custom programs, and everything else you expect from a CAD program.

The guides are available for a small fee. Note that if you're purchasing a printed copy, you need to purchase both Volume 1 and Volume 2 to complete the book.
