One attendee who has plans to release an IntelliCAD Technology product in the near future stated "The momentum and excitement level in this group was both surprising and refreshing. IntelliCAD 5.0 definitely has the stability and features that we need to build our vertical application. Our decision to join the ITC was validated by the meeting, and we are anxious to get rolling."
The event began with the keynote address given by Arnold Van der Weide, President of the ITC. His message was one of enthusiasm for the future, which was reflected in the common goals of the Application Developers who make up the membership of the consortium.
Bob Noftle, General Manager of 3D Content Solutions for SolidWorks and ITC Commercial Member said, “Mr. Van der Weide's presentation to the attendees was one of focus, excitement and pride for the technological advancements made by the ITC development team, an embracement of the DWG format as a 2D standard, and a positive reflection on the ITC’s and IntelliCAD’s future in the marketplace".
As the demonstration of IntelliCAD 5 and the next release, code named Fusion, were underway, attendees could be heard commenting on the advancements the developers of have made in the technology.
"IntelliCAD has always been built on the OpenDWG standard." Said Evan Yares, President of the Open Design Alliance. "With IntelliCAD 5 now incorporating our standard-setting DWGdirect libraries, users will find it an even better alternative for high-performance low-cost DWG editing."
Presenters from around the world detailed various papers to the attendees, including our members, our development team, and companies such as Spatial Corp., LightWorks, the Open Design Alliance, Davinci, Cambashi, etc.
Attendance was high at the IntelliCAD World Party, with many attendees staying late into the evening discussing the CAD industry, developments in the IntelliCAD technology, and networking with each other.
