No, not Slim Shady, it’s CADopia who are back.
You may recall that CADopia were having some issues with the IntelliCAD® Technology Consortium (ITC) which stopped them selling their brand of IntelliCAD. I have no idea whether that dispute is settled or not, but CADopia have finally moved on and have a new version of their software available, namely CADopia 11.
CADopia 11 is no longer based on IntelliCAD, it is based on the same Ares Technology by Graebert that also powers Dassault Systèmes Draftsight.
I have only briefly tested the evaluation version of CADopia 11, but just like Draftsight, it works well and should be easily accessible to AutoCAD and IntelliCAD users alike. I hope to test it out more thoroughly over the Christmas break, and will post a blog about my findings early in the new year.
I have to say, it is good to have CADopia back in the game. I have used their software since their beta of IntelliCAD 2000 was released back in 1999. I still use CADopia 8 Professional for producing all my CAD work.
Finally, to anyone who reads this blog, Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year.
