![]() Bottom line: I am a big fan of both.Īll about AutoCAD AutoCAD is, well, AutoCAD! Now, on to IntelliCAD! No, just kidding. The intent of this article is to compare the platform products-AutoCAD and IntelliCAD-from the point of view of a land surveyor or civil engineer. ![]() This is because Carlson runs on top of both platforms and there is no advantage to me if my customers choose one over the other.Īs we speak, I currently have Carlson software installed on top of Civil 3d 2012, AutoCAD 2012, and IntelliCAD 7 on my computer. As a reseller of Carlson Software, I directly compete with Autodesk in sales of civil and survey software, but I truly don’t have a dog in the fight between AutoCAD and IntelliCAD. In the interest of full disclosure, I am a Carlson Software reseller and, because I currently own two copies of Civil 3d, I am also a patron of Autodesk software.Ĭarlson has developed their software on top of AutoCAD products for more than 20 years, and in 2008 they also began building their products on top of IntelliCAD. Here I review and compare the two packages to illustrate each one’s particular strengths that can suit a variety of needs and budgets. Thinking about purchasing a CAD package? Sure, you’ve heard about AutoCAD, but what about IntelliCAD? If you thought, “What’s that?” you’re not alone.
