CMS IntelliCAD 14.1 User Interface

CMS IntelliCAD 14.1 introduces significant performance gains, expanded geospatial capabilities, and refined BIM workflows to streamline professional drafting.

1. Mapping & Geospatial Integration

  • Geospatial PDFs: Export drawings to PDF with live coordinate and measurement metadata, allowing reviewers to see real-time location data.
  • Azure Maps: In addition to Bing, users can now utilize Microsoft Azure Maps with the new GEOMICROSOFTSERVICE command.

2. Performance & Security Enhancements

  • Speed Boosts: Enjoy up to 63% faster line creation when snapping and 2x faster Copy commands (with VBA enabled). Performance for Undo and GEO map rendering has also been optimized.
  • Secure Signing: Digital signatures now leverage Cryptography Next Generation (CNG) technology, supporting self-signed certificates for easier security workflows.
  • Advanced Undo: The new MREDO (Multiple Redo) command allows users to roll back multiple changes and system variable updates simultaneously.

3. Drafting & Block Management

  • Block Testing: The BTESTBLOCK command allows users to test advanced blocks in a temporary window without altering the original definition.
  • Enhanced Tool Palettes: Now supports images, leaders, and external references with high-visibility previews.
  • Table & Layer Automation: Tables now support auto-filling with blocks and improved keyboard navigation. Layer filters can be exported to .lft files or copied directly to Excel for auditing.

4. BIM Workflows

  • BIM Openings: New anchor options provide precise control over how doors and windows orient and scale relative to walls.

5. UI & API Improvements

  • Dynamic UI: Icons now automatically adapt to Dark, Gray, or Light themes. Selection cycling is now accessible directly from the status bar.
  • LISP & .NET: Support for compiled FAS and VLX LISP formats for protected distribution, alongside new debugging tools in Visual Studio Code and expanded IcARX functions.

Note: This update also includes extensive "under the hood" fixes for external references, snapping, data extraction, and polyline editing to ensure maximum stability.
