AutoCAD command line
Most CAD professionals spend years mastering AutoCAD commands until they're
second nature. Since these commands help create the majority of CAD work,
IntelliCAD 6 transparently maps them to IntelliCAD equivalent commands.
AutoCAD DWG support
IntelliCAD 6 allows users to read, write and display DWG files from Version 2.5
right through AutoCAD 2008 - without conversion. And since drawings are
natively created in DWG, they can be shared between IntelliCAD and AutoCAD
without losing mission-critical information. IntelliCAD has an added safety
bonus- if it encounters information it cannot work with, it preserves the data
unharmed.
AutoLISP and ADS
IntelliCAD 6 preserves the investment users have made in developing AutoLISP
routines to automate and enhance functionality in AutoCAD. This is an important
feature, since thousands of these routines exist in corporate AutoLISP
libraries or in public domains as shareware. IntelliCAD runs most AutoLISP
routines directly, and existing ADS (AutoCAD Development Systems) routines,
including DCL, can be run after a recompile.
Menu's, fonts and symbols
It's no problem to transfer custom AutoCAD environments into IntelliCAD 6,
because it works seamlessly with symbol libraries, fonts (SHX), scripts (SCR),
menus (MNU), and dialog box (DCL) files (which are typically part of ADS
programs or AutoLISP routines).
Edit multiple drawings
IntelliCAD 6 allows users to open multiple documents at once (MDI). This
powerful feature enables CAD professionals to review two or more drawings
within one session, copy objects from one drawing to another, load and edit
xrefs and copy and paste elements, blocks, and more from one drawing to
another.
Scripting
Similar to macros found in Microsoft Office programs, IntelliCAD 6 records and
automates commonly repeated tasks. For example, a script can capture command
names, options and coordinates used in a given task, saving valuable design
time. IntelliCAD also reads and writes SCR (script) files created in AutoCAD.
Visual Basic (*Pro & Pro Plus)
IntelliCAD 6 Pro Plus not only supports standard forms of customization like
AutoLISP and ADS, it offers the power of Microsoft Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA). VBA is an object-based programming environment that uses
the COM interface, which allows users to develop custom solutions. VBA is a
component of Microsoft Office applications like Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
Raster support (*Pro & Pro Plus)
IntelliCAD Pro 's advanced raster image support makes it easy to load,
manage and manipulate scanned maps, photos, drawings and documents. Designs can
also incorporate scanned documents such as aerial photographs, satellite
imagery, design drawings or property maps within a drawing environment.
IntelliCAD 6 also includes a set of raster image editing and manipulation tools
for color, grayscale and monochrome images.
Photo realistic rendering (*Pro & Pro Plus)
IntelliCAD 6 fully supports 3D surface commands that help you produce
high-quality 3D models, almost without effort. Display them as wireframes, with
hidden lines removed, with surface shading or as fully rendered photo-realistic
artwork. Choose from preset lighting effects, surface materials and
backgrounds. Enhance more realistic renderings of textured surfaces like
concrete and carpet. Assign materials via a layer lookup table.
