    Great CAD Program

    Date: Nov 28 2019
    Summary

    Great value for money. Makes the drawing process easy. It is great that you can keep your product updated through the yearly upgrades.

    Positive

    Very easy to learn and work with as it has a similar interface with other CAD programs. It has a very good speed when opening and working with very large files. The commands are quick to respond. It does everything you need as a CAD user on a daily basis.

    Negative

    I did not discovered anything wrong with the program yet.

    Date: Nov 26 2019
    Summary

    Best CAD software for 2D drafting and 3D construction (using AEC entities) with easy migration from any other third-party CAD software tools. Designers & engineers can easily adopt with no specific training. Low-cost CAD software with advanced features.

    Positive

    User-friendly CAD Interface, Universal file compatibility, Advanced features like AEC Entities, Advanced Rendering, BIM Compatibility (rvt, rfa), Step & iges support, Easy Elevation & Sectioning.

    Negative

    Designers have to create Manufacturer-specific libraries to complete the 3d designs.

    Delightful user experience for every penny spent!!!

    Date: Dec 28 2019
    Summary

    Value for money software, productivity and efficiency of my staffs have increased three folds.

    Positive

    Intellicad is a very trouble free, secure and powerful CAD software tool. It is a conglomerate of 2D and 3D compatible CAD tools which is suitable for architects, engineers, consultants and also anyone who needs to evaluate CAD drawings. 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. It is the closest a CAD software could get to AutoCAD and that too at such a feasible price, moreover, the integrations offered for the CMS Intellicad are Microsoft.Net and Microsoft VBA. . 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 .dwg and *.dgn support, Ribbon interface, 3D Solids modelling, Raster image, Graphical block preview, AutoCAD menu and script files, VBA and .Net 4.5 API, Photo-realistic 3D rendering, Command line support, TrueType font, BIM support etc

    Negative

    Did not find any downsides except the fact that we need more tutorials on social media for using this software. It is a beautifully crafted software with a strong user interface, tutorials on social media will create more awareness among people about softwares with innumerable features at such affordable prices, what else would you want?

    Best CAD Software for the money

    Date: Oct 23 2019
    Summary

    Couldn't find a product with these features for the money!

    Positive

    DWG and DWF file compatibility is a must for me.
    Additionally, the Premium Plus version allows me to import and also export models in STEP and IGES file formats.
    BIM import features, IFC files and Autodesk Revit Files, also grants me the option to review customer projects.
    User interface is intuitive, plus I can use the AutoCAD commands that I'm accustom to use.
    And guess what, they also have a free cad viewer, the ETOOLBOX cad viewer, and this allows my customers to review my designs that CMS IntelliCAD also allows me to digitally sign.

    Negative

    Modeling design history would be useful for 3D modeling.

    Download free trial, worked fine. Straight forward to purchase a license

    Updated: Nov 30 2019
    Summary

    Overall, couldn't find a better CAD software for the money, and that's not under a subscription, though I see some getting advantages of getting the software maintained.

    Positive

    Website is easy to use. Registering an user account to download and run the software as trial was really easy.
    CMS IntelliCAD Provides all the CAD tools that I need, and it's actually much faster then AutoCAD when dealing with heady duty drawings. That was a huge surprise so that's why I'm spending a couple of minutes writing a review.

    Purchasing a license was also super straight forward. No glitches... license information got automatically posted at my licenses web page.
    License activation was dumb proof! :D

    Negative

    They do not provide free dedicated support. That's only available under a subscription...OK, I understand why.
    Free support is available at their CAD software community forum at https://forums.intellicadms.com
    Actually, it worked fine, and I got a prompt reply from someone at this forum community.

    Satisfied Users

    Date: Nov 25 2019
    Summary

    All the guys I have done training for sing the praises of CMS IntelliCAD saying it is the best investment they have made for their business. It saves them $$$ This software is used successfully by others I have trained from Builders, Landscapers, Roofing Contractors, Glass & Aluminium Fabricators, building designers and many others.

    Positive

    I do training for IntelliCAD for businesses who have never used CAD software before and they find CMS IntelliCAD a great asset for their day to day operation of their work.
    I do training for Steel Fabricators and Sheetmetal workers who use CMS IntelliCAD to draw set outs for the work they do, it saves lots of time on the factory floor.
    The advantage of using CMS IntelliCAD is the accuracy over manually doing the work.
