  • Installation is really effortless and easy
  • It provides an unbeaten compatibility and supports application streaming that allows users to access the software and its various components from a browser
  • It is, surprisingly, at par with most of the highly ranked CAD softwares, but at a very down to earth price
  • It has an inbuilt toolkit for LISP, VBA
  • Net and IRX development and opens
  • dwg files, sets dimensions, viewing sheets and tabs, measures length and coordinates perfectly without any lags
  • Zoom in and zoom out is seamless and quick with a very adaptable user interface

  • The prominent features of Intellicad are as follows-Script recorder, LISP support, ADS support Solid, ACIS 3d Solids import, Solid ACIS 3d Solids export, Multiple open drawings, 3D surface commands, Native

Room for improvement
  • Did not find any downsides except the fact that we need more tutorials on social media for using this software

As Good as AutoCAD but AFFORDABLE

Easy to buy and download! I'm able to open CAD files, so getting started was easy!

What they liked
  • This program works just like CAD
  • It even lets me open files created in CAD
  • As an interior designer with a small practice, I could never afford CAD once my student license ran out
  • But IntelliCAD lets me do everything I need to in creating floorplans and elevations with detail and accuracy
  • Best Decision I Ever Made
Room for improvement
  • If you have not used CAD before, learning a program like this on your own is daunting
  • I'm not sure you can teach it to yourself easily
Switched From

My student license expired and I could not afford the price of AutoCAD.

Why they chose it

"I found I could open old CAD files with IntelliCAD and that has saved me tons of time! Since it works just like CAD, I didn't have to teach myself a whole new program!"

The program is amazingly good, comparable to AutoCAD. Customer service is dying or dead.

good drafting at low price

What they liked
  • Very similar to AutoCAD for drawing
  • Does not have as many management features that are typically only important for collaboration among many users
  • Very stable
Room for improvement
  • Delivery of the product is very awkward
  • It is difficult to actually get the product after purchase
  • Transferring a license is rediculously hard
  • Customer service was once fairly good, but now is rotten
  • It took me six months to move a license to a new machine, and it still is not working
  • I bought subscription to the cloud version, and I could not get it "installed"
  • No answers from customer service for nine days now

A Trainer's View

My best overall experience every time with CMS IntelliCAD is the reports I get back from my trainees of the successes they are having in their businesses using CMS IntelliCAD and how grateful they are that they invested in the software and training for their business.

What they liked
  • It's ease of set up and use
  • The help function is well laid out and easy to use
  • It's compatibility with AutoCAD - works almost exactly the same - as a previous AutoCAD user I didn't miss a step changing over
  • Great value for money
  • My customers just love it, they wouldn't use CAD if it wasn't available
Room for improvement
  • there's not much I could say against this product, it really ticks all the boxes
  • If there was one small thing it would be that the grid still displays every time the program fires up, it should remember to turn it off as was left at shut down but knowing the ITC they'll fix it for sure next release

Best CAD Software Tool for Mechanical & AEC applications.

Time to perform elevation & sectioning was reduced drastically.

What they liked

User-friendly interface, Exhaustive AEC entities, Advanced Rendering, Easy migration & Interoperability

Room for improvement

The designer requires support for creating manufacturer specific component library, which is time-consuming
