With AutoCAD®
2010 DWG, Google Earth & PDF support.
progeCAD advanced IntelliCAD software offers
reliable AutoCAD & AutoCAD LT (lite) compatible
design at a fraction of Autodesk prices. progeCAD more closely emulates the
AutoCAD-like interface and commands,
including IntelliCAD AutoLISP®
interpreter command line, similar basic editing
commands and robust Autodesk DWG™ CAD file
compatibility. This means basic IntelliCAD legally
works like & writes DWG files compatible with
AutoCAD, when AutoCAD itself becomes too
expensive for the small to medium business (SMB).
Indeed, larger companies elect to have both
products together (i.e. "central" AutoCAD
workstations supported by a group of affordable
IntelliCAD systems). progeCAD adds important
features, stability patches and advanced support to
the basic IntelliCAD product - greatly extending
IntelliCAD's usefulness in medium-heavy project
environments.

The IntelliCAD
Software History...
Note: more information about IntelliCAD
history and the ITC can be found
on Wikipedia HERE.
Many people equate CAD software
directly to AutoCAD or
AutoCAD LT. A large share of the general public
is still totally unaware that there are many other CAD
programs, even many other *types* of CAD, as well as
different CAD file formats and standards.
The first commercial CAD systems required specialized
hardware and extensive administrative overhead to keep
in operation. In 1982, a team of 15 released the first
successful stand-alone CAD that worked on commodity PC
hardware. It was based on a previous work by Mike Riddle
called MicroCAD, and was originally planned to assist
with "desktop automation" tasks. This new concept was
called AutoCAD, and it first sold for $1000 USD.
AutoCAD introduced other concepts to the general public:
the first open CAD exchange format specification. This
Data eXchange Format, or DXF, soon became a defacto 2D
CAD standard, supported by virtually all platforms. This
move ironically helped assure AutoCAD's place as a
market leader. The DXF specification was kept basic,
only allowing translation of geometry necessary to
communicate with downstream applications. Ownership of
AutoCAD was still required to read the binary DWG data
which stored the complete drawing, including copious
attributes and data.
progeSOFT IntelliCAD (progeCAD)
In 1997, Visio Corporation (now owned by Microsoft)
purchased the
Boomerang / Phoenix project, a developing alternative to the
obviously overly-priced AutoCAD. This software would
offer a
similar "look and feel", support AutoCAD commands and
AutoLISP scripts, and - most importantly - reliably read and write AutoCAD DWG
files as it's native file format. The software was
called IntelliCAD.
When
Microsoft purchased VISIO,
it declined to enter into the DWG drafting software
market. Instead, the IntelliCAD code base was to be
further developed by the IntelliCAD Technology
Consortium, or ITC. ITC members are permitted to use the
developed code base in their own commercial end-user
products, including DWG converters and viewers.
IntelliCAD is legal software, protected by a
1997 FTC decision (and others) in response to Autodesk's
near-monopoly market share in some industries.
progeSOFT is based by beautiful Lake Como, Italy,
and an
ITC
executive member of the
with many years of advanced CAD development experience.
