ITC members gain early access to new IntelliCAD technology.
Portland - December 19, 2007 - The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium (ITC) (http://www.intellicad.org/) announces the release of IntelliCAD 7.0 Alpha to the ITC members.
IntelliCAD
7.0 is a complete re-architecture of the IntelliCAD technology.
IntelliCAD 7.0 integrates DWGdirect from the Open Design Alliance
directly as its internal database, which provides improved performance
in loading and saving files, full access to the DWGdirect DRX
development interface (an object-oriented C++ API), and a flexible new
graphics subsystem.
When completed, IntelliCAD 7.0 will further
enhance the ability of ITC members to create advanced and highly
specialized vertical applications and deliver robust CAD technology to
their end-users.
When asked about the release, David Lorenzo, ITC
Development Director, replied, "Although IntelliCAD 7.0 is not feature
complete, the release allows our members to learn more about the new
DRX API. The sample DRX applications provided with the Alpha
demonstrate how to implement custom objects in IntelliCAD with
overrides such as dragging, grip editing, and LIST. Members can review
the API, provide feedback, and begin design for new applications while
internal development continues to complete the new engine."
IntelliCAD
7.0 Alpha includes over 250 rewritten commands - several of which are
now demand-loaded DRX external applications, UNICODE support, improved
paperspace functionality, Diesel menu support, object enabler for
Autodesk Architecture, improved DWG file format compatibility, and an
improved user interface.
The ITC plans to release IntelliCAD 7.0 Beta in the second quarter of 2008.
