IntelliCAD 7 At Last
After years of waiting the ITC is finally going public with some information about IntelliCAD 7. This press release announces the release of Beta 2 to its members. The new IntelliCAD 7 is based on the DWGdirect technology of the ODA Platform. As is Bricscad, the only other DWGDirect based CAD system in production that I know of.
At SYCODE we have already geared up our Bricscad plug-ins to work with IntelliCAD 7 when it does come out. I expect that our Bricscad DRX plug-ins would need minor changes to work with IntelliCAD 7. At least that is the hope.
I find it interesting that the ITC decided to issue a press release for Beta 2 but not for Beta 1. At least I don't think they did. Maybe that's because Bricsys went public with their announcement of leaving the ITC by issuing a press release.
Now it is left to be seen when the ITC members start shipping their flavors of IntelliCAD 7. I expect that CMS will be the first because unlike most other ITC members, they ship it directly out of the box without adding any other stuff to it. In fact, they pride on the fact that are the most clean IntelliCAD. CMS currently has a personal version of IntelliCAD that sells for $51.95, which is meant for individuals, students or professionals. Of course, if you don't want to pay even that there is always the "free for personal use" progeCAD Smart!

This is just a Beta release to the ITC members. I suspect that the ITC members will NOT be allowed to release a product based on V7 until the ITC release the RELEASE version. (After all they released Beta 1 to the members and no members have generated anything based on it yet.)
So how long 'til the ITC are ready to RELEASE V7? That's anyone's guess. Were the ITC just responding to Bricssys or are they really on the verge of getting V7 out the door? Will there be a Beta 3?
