CMS IntelliCAD CAD Software Cloud Application Streaming

Tweet

August 19th, 2010 - Bryant, Arkansas, USA. CMS, Inc. has just introduced the latest and most advanced application streaming technology into the CAD industry. We are probably the first CAD company widely providing this technology.

You can now quickly load and seamlessly run CMS IntelliCAD STD directly from our website domain, without the need to install it, and without any significant performance degradation.

We believe that common cloud technology, i.e., typically running a software inside a browser window, has some important barriers still difficult to crossover, specially with CAD applications. Manly they are internet connection speed and performance, file security and availability.

With the technology we are now providing, you are basically downloading key portions of our software that enables it to start running, and remaining features are loaded only when required. At the moment, we are just allowing our software to be loaded from our website, but it's already prepared for offline mode, i.e., IntelliCAD stream will be hosted on your drive or any mobile drive. Always without needing to install our software.

You will always keep your files where they have always been. Contrary to the standard cloud technology concept, with CMS IntelliCAD and Cloud Streaming technology you will never need to upload your files to a cloud server, and so you will have them always available and secured!

That's right, you can even run it from here!

Feel free to run and try it now! Click on the green start button.

CMS IntelliCAD 5 stars customer review rating

March 8, 2010 - Bryant, Arkansas, USA. CMS, Inc. online store http://store.intellicadms.com uses Google Checkout™ to manage payments for all CMS IntelliCAD and CMS Software purchases.

At the fourth quarter of 2008, CMS has selected Google Checkout™ services due to the potential high end quality service and extreme security assurance. The integration done with our online store resulted in a much faster and reliable purchase process that is now available to all of our customers.

This purchase process is somehow different from what is considered "old way, simple, direct and easy". A customer does not require an user account to be able to purchase our products. Selecting a product and checking out is enough to checkout and prepare an order for payment. "How much simpler can it be?"

Credit Card Payment approval process usually is extremely fast. After payment, the customer is automatically redirected back to the store. At this point, a store user account has been automatically created and the customer is immediately able to browse his store account, retrieve is license information, download our software and receipt. Customer license information will be always securely stored.

Due to security reasons, CMS does not send any software license information to a customer email box.

Some foreign purchases may require some extra time to approve the credit card use. In some cases, it can take some extra time/minutes, or it can even be declined. Customer will always be notified by an email message.

Customer feedback has been extremely valuable to tune some of the store features. Due to the high level of integration with Google tools, Google Product Search is able to collect customer Google Checkout™ reviews regarding CMS purchasing process, and we are now extremely excited with the results made public by Google.

CMS has the highest 2010 seller average rating, 5/5.  And an overall average rating: 4.7 / 5 - Based on 55 reviews. Don't take our word for granted, CMS has NO INTERFERENCE whatsoever on customer reviews:

"I got what I paid for in a timely manner. Very happy with it."

"Excellent service and ongoing support !!"

"Excellent. Good back up support."

"I was able to activate my software within minutes of purchase. Thanks."

This confirms that Google Checkout™ was the right choice for our store and our CMS IntelliCAD customers.

Adjusting the Hatch Origin

By default, hatches are created starting from the drawings origin (0,0,0 of the active UCS). This often causes the hatch pattern becomes misaligned from the rest of the drawing. For example, suppose we have a box with 5x5 units and we need to place a simple horizontal hatch of 1 unit in order to have 5 strips of 1 unit each strip. Unless the box has been created at the 0,0,0 point or, at least, the Y coordinate of its base be multiple of 1, we will never achieve the desired result if we just place the hatch on that box.

The solution for this problem relies on the SNAPBASE system variable. The program's help says that this variable "Defines the xy location of the grid origin in the current viewport relative to the active UCS." and it is of type of a point.

If we set the SNAPBASE to one of the box's vertices and then apply the hatch, the hatch will be created starting from that vertice.

Here is an example of three boxes (5x5 units) with horizontal hatches:

Box 1 is created at drawing's origin, so the hatch will match the desired result.

Box 2 is created somewhere and hatch is applied without setting the SNAPBASE point. Note how the strips has different dimensions.

Box 3 is created somewhere (it stands in the same Y coordinate as Box 2) and the hatch is applied AFTER setting the SNAPBASE to the lower-left vertice.
