I got the latest version of IntelliCAD this morning and started testing it. The first drawing I opened Icad crashed and deleted the drawing file!

WOW! talk about a very serious bug.

I haven't had time to work with it much but I did find that I can't reliably trim xlines. No crashes though. Seems they have some work to do on this one.

After further testing, Icad v 5.1 did the same thing on the same drawing (a restored copy of it). This drawing was created in AutoCAD and has a bunch of proxy crap in it.

I was copying entities out of an AutoCAD generated file to a clean Icad file. This has always been a risky operation for me. It also creates cleaned up files that work much better. In this case it converted a 8.7 MB file into a 240 kB file.

This version has some really cool features. In particular, profiles, xref manager and print styles. Unfortunatly, like every other version of Icad, it has a bunch of bugs that are going to take some getting used to.
