Same package from different suppliers??

#1
I have purchased Intellicad 4 from Autodsys & then today found your site via a CAD school web site.
Is the software I now have the same as the versions you offer or are they different in some way?
I see that your links include a way to the Autodsys site, so assume all is the same, but could you still confirm if this is correct.
I will say your forum looks better organised & more well used than theirs.

bigd2,

IntelliCAD 4 is the same program from all suppliers because this is enforced by the ITC (the holder of source code for ICAD.

The differences that can be offered are generally add-ons from each seller of ICAD.

CMS has a BOM software that is tested and supported with their version of ICAD.

To add to what John writes: There is nothing stopping a company from releasing builds of Intellicad with fixes/improvements not yet merged with the common source code. The point is those fixes must be merged with the common code in the end. That does not make much difference for builds from CMS, Cadopia etc., because their contribution to the development is mainly through the ITC anyway. It does however make a difference with builds from Bricscad, who have their own development team and more frequent upgrades of the product than ITC.
