I have been using a beta version of Intellicad 8 and it seems to be a very good stable product. It feels like a version of AutoCAD 2004/5 with regards ease of use and quickness of start-up.
I hope Carlson use this version for their next release as it seems like an improvement from previous versions. It seems to be at a similar level to Bricscad which I have found to be a very good AutoCAD clone.
Hello Jonathan,
Thank you for your encouraging feedback on the new version 8 of IntelliCAD. Please remember that the version you're using is in Alpha. We have made many improvements since that version was released and we should be releasing a beta version within the next week or two. Please be sure to download that version when it is available. I'm sure you will be very pleasantly surprised at the progress we are making. I'm extremely encouraged about this version and believe it will take us to the next level.
Regards,

A really good, stable, version of IntelliCAD that can really push AutoCAD will be good for everyone - including Autodesk in the long run.
> including Autodesk in the long run.
Very true. Reminds of the old saying: One lawyer in a town will go bankrupt, two will get rich.

Also, for those that have bought into the Trimble ivory tower, remember that they purchased sketchup from Google a while back.
I played around with Sketchup quite a bit and really liked it. The interface was intuitive and the program seemed very stable. I am waiting to see if something aimed at our market comes of it.
