Why does IntelliCAD have no 3-dim array for simple points? In my opinion, very often, it is much easier define an array for points. Or, maybe, there should be a casting between the point object and an array (or is there any, and I didnt found it?).

Thanks for reading

Tom_H,

To be able to have a point object with x, y and z properties is in my opinon easier to use.

I suppose it gets down to what you are used to and this is just one of the differences between AutoCAD and IntelliCAD's object model.

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, I compare AutoCAD's and IntelliCAD's object model.

In my opinion, IntelliCAD, BricsCad and all the other programs have two disadvantages:

- not exactly the same ActiveX object model, so AutoCAD VB/VBA code is not 'ready to run' in IntelliCAD; ok, so exact as possible is also ok

- the biggest disadvantage is the missing arx library; the OpenDWG library is very good, but AutoCAD's arx is free, with very much examples, and an very active newsgroup; I have many arx programs, it is an horror to convert all the stuff to the OpenDWG library. New arx programs, I try to write them so, that it is easier to adopt them to OpenDWG. And, sorry, ADS or SDS is not state of the art.

Sorry for the bad English.
