IntelliCAD - FREE CAD pkg. 1

[MasterRacker]

While looking for a cheap way for some of my people to view CAD files I discovered much more than I could imagine.<br><br>IntelliCAD was written by Visio to compete with AutoCAD.&nbsp;&nbsp;When Microsoft purchased Viso they were not interested in the product.&nbsp;&nbsp;Visio helped set up an open source group to advance the product and released the source code to them.&nbsp;&nbsp;The new product IntelliCAD 2000 is now released.&nbsp;&nbsp;The core product (which is minus licensed technologies) is available for FREE download from <A HREF="

full professional version which is R14 compatible and can even do 3D photorealistic rendering can be had for as little as $99.00.&nbsp;&nbsp;More info is available at <A HREF="

I don't see a good reason for our shop to continue spending thousands per person for AutoCAD.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Check it out, save money (send me a percentage of your savings ;-)&nbsp;&nbsp <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...

I am very impressed with this software. I terms of speed if leaves Acad2000 miles behind, choking in the dust. It has many easy functions that can only be performed with multiple operations in Acad.<br><br>At that price, we can roll it out company-wide for use as a viewer for the drawings on the company intranet!<br><br>On my desk, it's going to replace Acad2000. It looks like a superior product. AutoDESK has finally found some killer competition. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

I love to watch the command line box display what im doing in really cryptic programming terms, it makes my boss think im a lot more productive!

Only faults here are lack of user testing. This really is so much like CAD that its really nothing like Visio.
