All CMS IntelliCAD 11.0 versions work with BIM files, import Autodesk® Revit® 2022 files, and will be able to create and assign visibility states, select and work with .ifc (only CMS IntelliCAD PE PLUS) and .rvt underlays using the Explorer, and use the Audit command to check for errors in .ifc files (only CMS IntelliCAD PE PLUS) that are attached as underlays.

For technical users, CMS IntelliCAD 11.0 incorporates ODA SDKs version 2022.12, Microsoft® Windows® 11 SDK which is compatible with Windows 11, and Spatial® Technology ACIS® version 2022.

ALCAD software providing extra CAD power to MEP/HVAC engineers

September 22, 2020 - Burleson, Texas, USA. CAD-MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS, INC. (AKA CMS) and AL-CAD LLC (AKA ALCADS) announces the release of the new ALCAD 2021 CAD software.

The fully compatible DWG-CAD ALCAD 2021 extends the base CAD features provided by a CMS IntelliCAD OEM solution licensed by CMS with MEP/HVAC CAD plugin toolset and 1’000 Symbols library for an unbeatable price.

Free trial available. More about ALCAD 2021 here.

Vitor Neves, CMS , INC. President stated "ITC IntelliCAD Technology built in CMS IntelliCAD CAD Software offers the most competitive and alternative CAD development platform that third-party developers can trust to build customized CAD solutions and safely extend or establish a market. Both solid companies and startups, providing custom CAD/CAE/CAM plugins or addons, will find flexible CMS IntelliCAD OEM licensing options to start a customized and complete CAD package solution before achieving a market share where a transition to an ITC commercial membership may make sense."

Maximilian Hodson, ALCADS President stated, "Previously we had only offered our products as plug-ins for AutoCAD. Since the price strategy of AutoCAD has changed (annual subscriptions), this was a reason for us to offer our customers a cheaper alternative, but with the same quality. After some OEM tests from various suppliers, we decided to use IntelliCAD, because it meets all our requirements.

Maximilian Hodson also stated, "IntelliCAD itself is a very good basis. But for MEP/HVAC engineers a pure CAD with line/element drawing is not enough. That is why we have the ALCAD modules. This speeds up the work pace for ventilation, sanitary, heating and piping projects extremely. The modules were developed on the basis of 15 years of MEP engineering experience, which is reflected in the plug-ins. All created objects have properties, dimensions, medium, lengths and much more and can be exported to an Excel as a material extract at the push of a button."
