IntelliCAD v13.0 Announced

IntelliCAD 13.0 is a major release that includes performance improvements and new features, including a new Options dialog, compatible with other CAD applications, calculators for evaluating expressions and converting units of measurement, lookup tables and the ability to reset advanced blocks, and digital signatures for .dwfx files. When creating reports, extract data from external references, advanced blocks, attributes, and architecture, engineering and construction entities; extract from .dgn, .ifc, .rvt, and .rfa files if supported; and filter data to meet conditions.

LISP is refactored to increase compatibility with other CAD applications. Other new features include Flatshot, Solid Profile, Make Shape, Compile to SHX, and Make Linetype, and more.

For program versions that include Spatial Technology ACIS modeler, use the following commands to work with surfaces: Network, Offset, Fillet, Extend, and Trim.

For IntelliCAD versions that support working with BIM files: use the IFC Validate, RVT to IFC, and Corner Window commands; dimension AEC entities; manage layers for .ifc underlays; define styles for new elements such as roof slabs, dimensions, structural members, and more; and attach railings to stair segments.

For IntelliCAD versions that support editing and creation of .dgn files in their native format: use the BMP Out, Undelete, and Copy Nested Entities commands; use the Parallel entity snap; highlight entities; and use the Explorer command with views, external references, blocks, and layer filters.

For technical users, IntelliCAD 13.0 uses ODA SDKs version 2024.12. IntelliCAD IcARX continues to be a pre-release version for members and is compatible with AutoCAD Object ARX, allowing ITC members to build applications with a single code base that runs on both platforms,” David Lorenzo, ITC president, says. “IntelliCAD 13.0 brings significant performance improvements and new features that our members have been eagerly anticipating. The new Options dialog simplifies the user experience for those familiar with other CAD software, and the refactored LISP API provides a foundation for improved compatibility moving forward, greatly reducing LISP development time when working with multiple CAD platforms.”

IntelliCAD 13.0 is supported on Microsoft Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows 8 64-bit versions. IntelliCAD Mobile Viewer versions are available for Windows desktop, Google Android, Apple macOS and iOS.
