    Date: Nov 11 2023

    Summary: CMS IntelliCAD is undeniably a stellar choice for 2D design and drafting. Its user-friendly interface, coupled with reliable 2D drawing tools, makes it a top-notch solution. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a beginner, the accessibility of CMS IntelliCAD ensures a smooth design process without the need for extensive training. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a robust and efficient 2D design software.

    Positive: The software is incredibly user-friendly, providing a seamless 2D design and drafting experience. The standout feature for me is the absence of a steep learning curve; CMS IntelliCAD requires no additional training, making it exceptionally accessible.

    Reliability is a key factor that sets CMS IntelliCAD apart. The software's 2D drawing tools are not only easy to use but also remarkably dependable. Throughout my usage, I encountered no issues, making it a trustworthy companion for my design endeavors.

    Negative: I struggled to find any substantial drawbacks with CMS IntelliCAD. It's a reliable and efficient tool, especially for 2D drawing. However, like any software, there's always room for enhancement. Perhaps additional advanced features could be incorporated to cater to more complex design needs. Nevertheless, this is a minor point and does not detract significantly from the overall positive experience.

    Pleasantly surprised!

    Date: Jun 11 2022

    Summary: I love how it's a better alternative for other expensive Cad software, it's affordable, and it isn't taking as much space storage-wise on the computer. Runs smoothly on my PC, so I'm pleased with its performance.

    Positive: I like the fact that it doesn't need a long install period of time, unlike other software for designing. The tools are accessible and obvious to the eye. It doesn't lag or crash while you're drawing. So far it's a good software designing option.

    Negative: There are not much stuff that I don't like. I guess I could mention the color of the whole interface - which can be with more eye comfort colors to the eyes, because designers spend most of their time looking at the monitors.

    It has all the commands I need.
    I use tools for 2D drawing. As I do not work in 3D, I do not use 3D tools.

    Negative: I haven't seen any negatives yet. But it seems to be having difficulties in map dwg.

    AN EXCELLENT CAD APPLICATION

    Date: May 31 2022

    Summary: The CAD program is excellent in general.
    IntelliCAD is a wonderful alternative to the widely used AutoCAD, in my opinion.
    The program is simple to use and inexpensive, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a good deal. The software includes a user interface that is similar to AutoCAD, but it also has several unique features that I believe were intended to improve the user experience. Several file formats are supported by IntelliCAD, as a result, having files produced by other applications isn't a big deal.

    Positive: An excellent user interface.
    Tools that are easily available.
    It does not need a large amount of RAM.

    Negative: So far, so good.
    I don't have any problems with the program.

    Easy & Userfriendly

    Edited: May 22 2022

    Summary: Switching is great and if you are new to using any CAD software it's still better than the rest to start off.

    Positive: Great way to learn something new, and if you compare it with AutoCAD yes this can really replace it because of its capabilities and user interfaces. starting from the start whenever you download this kind of software installation process is still a big problem sometimes but not anymore, CMS IntelliCAD was so easy to install. Zoom in and zoom out is seamless and quick with a very adaptable user interface. As an engineer when creating any mechanical component zoom in and zoom out always need to be quick without any interruption which i totally found in this CMS, i would really recommend this to everyone who is looking for great & easy CAD software.

    Negative: Still finding one.
    but if have to give any suggestion so it could be tool panels, if they could be customize on more better way then it would be great.

    Good AutoCAD Alternative

    Date: May 03 2022

    Summary: Coming from AutoCAD, I was able to jump right into drafting. For the price, this is an excellent option for anyone looking to save money from AutoCAD.

    Positive: Commands from AutoCAD were compatible with IntelliCAD. I was able to get right into drafting without any tutorials. When selecting a spot with multiple objects, instead of only selecting the top entity, a popup gave me to the option to select the one I wanted. Seemed quick to startup.

    Negative: Interface a bit older. Some options were a little hard to find at first. Nothing major.

    A great value to cost Ratio

    Date: Aug 18 2021

    Summary: I recommend it to cad designers and architects , most of the commands of CMS IntelliCAD are similar to AutoCAD, So no problem to use this as a replacement for AutoCAD with such a good budget.

    You can create every type of drafting work, I use CMS IntelliCAD to create Architectural drawings.

    There are lots of benefits I realized such as user-friendly interface, no lag in the program, fast, budget-friendly, wide tools and features support.

    Also, there are many tools that have more extended options available to create very good drafting work in an organized way.

    Positive: This is the light cad software I ever see and I think they can make it lighter in the next updates.
    I found it too easy to use in 2d and 3d.
    I made furniture modeling and drew a plan and the result was amazing.

    Negative: I cannot import images to it.
    Not a stable version yet I hope in next update be more stable.
