The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium (ITC) has announced the release of IntelliCAD 14.1, an update to the IntelliCAD 14 platform with a strong focus on stability, performance, and member-driven enhancements. The release delivers a mix of new capabilities and numerous fixes aimed at improving everyday drafting and design workflows.
A key highlight of IntelliCAD 14.1 is the introduction of export and print to geospatial PDF. This feature allows users to generate PDFs that retain coordinate system information from drawings, enabling live coordinate display and measurements when viewed in supported PDF readers. In addition, the GEO map functionality has been expanded to support Microsoft Azure Maps alongside existing map providers, and exporting large raster images to PDF has been further optimized.
The update also brings usability improvements for block and content management. A new block test window for advanced blocks allows users to verify grips and block behavior directly from the Block Editor. Tool Palettes have been enhanced to support images, leaders, and external references, while smaller productivity features such as a Selection Cycling toggle on the status bar, improved undo and redo behavior, and better table-handling workflows add to overall ease of use.
For developers and advanced users, IntelliCAD 14.1 expands LISP capabilities by adding support for compiled and protected LISP applications in FAS and VLX formats. The release also includes targeted enhancements and fixes for LISP and IcARX development tools, improving reliability and compatibility for custom applications. BIM users gain better control over how openings interact with walls, along with more robust IFC import functionality. Native DGN support has also been refined, with improvements to exporting, printing, and hatching.
Beyond visible features, IntelliCAD 14.1 includes a wide range of under-the-hood fixes that enhance reliability across drafting, snapping, printing, external references, tables, and other core operations. According to Shawn Lindsay, President of the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium, the release reflects ITC’s continued focus on delivering a stable, high-performance CAD platform shaped directly by member feedback, providing users with a dependable foundation for building and expanding their CAD solutions.
