The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium (ITC) today announced the release of IntelliCAD 13.1.
IntelliCAD 13.1 is a major release that includes performance improvements and new features, with a focus on enhanced reporting capabilities using the Extract Data command. Extracting data is completely refactored for improved performance and additional reporting on drawing properties (such as file size, path, etc.), drawing system variables, and the number of entities in drawings. Users can customize reports before they’re created with more options and now easily update linked report tables in drawings.
Other new features include customizing user interface elements for running and one-time entity snaps, printing to PNG files with transparent backgrounds, using an additional interactive dialog to precisely move and rotate entities with the 3D Positioner command, selecting from new options for the Trim and Extend commands, cloning additional entity types with the Clone command, and restoring hidden program messages individually.
Additionally, LISP and IcARX APIs include enhanced compatibility and improved performance.
For IntelliCAD versions that support working with BIM files: create architectural spaces using the Spaces command, and infill AEC entities when using the Section Plane command.
For IntelliCAD versions that support editing and creation of .dgn files in their native format: draw with the Polygon command, use the clip option of the Define View command, and manage named views from the command line using the -VIEW command.
For technical users, IntelliCAD 13.1 uses ODA SDKs version 2024.12. IntelliCAD IcARX continues to be a pre-release version for members and is highly compatible with AutoCAD® ObjectARX, allowing ITC members to build applications with a single code base that runs on both platforms.
David Lorenzo, ITC President, stated, “I’m pleased we’re delivering another new pack of features and fixes to ITC members before year-end. I’m especially excited about how we transformed traditional reporting into power reporting by adding the ability to extract internal drawing data for troubleshooting and discovery in large drawing sets. Another key specialty area for IntelliCAD 13.1 is entity snaps. We worked with members to fine-tune when and where entity snaps are available in the program, and the result is a customizable interface to meet the needs of long-time users, new users, and users who are familiar with other CAD applications.”
IntelliCAD 13.1 is supported on Microsoft® Windows® 11, Windows 10, and Windows 8 64-bit versions. IntelliCAD Mobile Viewer versions are available for Windows desktop, Google® Android™, Apple® macOS® and iOS.

About the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium
The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium is an independent, non-profit organization funded and directed by its members specifically for the development of the IntelliCAD technology. The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium licenses the IntelliCAD technology to its commercial members, who in turn market and sell applications based on IntelliCAD to their end users. Commercial members have access to the IntelliCAD source code, documentation, developer support, and more. The ITC is also a founding member of the Open Design Alliance, thereby contributing to interoperability in the engineering industry.
