About

CAD Automation Pro is standalone Windows software for batch-processing AutoCAD drawing projects. Its Batch Drawing Engine runs user-created scripts across whole drawing sets to replace title blocks; update layers, colors, linetypes, fonts, text and standards; and rename files. The CaPro Engine processes drawings in the background, and users can organize and edit scripts and projects without AutoCAD running. AutoCAD Electrical users can also automate wire numbering, component tagging and BOM updates, and use the PLC Rack Designer to generate 17-slot rack drawings. Processing drawings requires a separately licensed AutoCAD 2018 or later, or AutoCAD Electrical 2018 or later, installed on the same Windows PC. The software is designed for CAD designers, drafters and CAD managers handling large AutoCAD projects.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The software is incredibly user-friendly, providing a seamless 2D design and drafting experience. The standout feature for me is the absence of a steep learning curve; CMS IntelliCAD requires no additional training, making it exceptionally accessible. Reliability is a key factor that sets CMS IntelliCAD apart. The software's 2D drawing tools are not only easy to use but also remarkably dependable. Throughout my usage, I encountered no issues, making it a trustworthy companion for my design endeavors.
  • Work faster because setup around the object like, rotate stretch and move in one object, you do not need to use command stretch, rotate, or move anymore just click and quick. Software size is small and can running in cloud mode no need to worry about disk capacity.
  • Most commands are available, and the workflow is very close to AutoCAD. Remarkably fast printing. (I am adding this sentence because the website requires a minimum number of characters, which is moronic.)
  • CMS IntelliCAD serves it's purpose, which helps me complete my 2D modeling design needs. It has well position tools and well-defined icons for GUI commands on the tool palettes. It is also compatible with AutoCAD, thus, familiar commands can be used with it.
  • The user interface is good. The tools are highlighted with special tool bar. File size is less while comparing AutoCAD.

Cons

  • I struggled to find any substantial drawbacks with CMS IntelliCAD. It's a reliable and efficient tool, especially for 2D drawing. However, like any software, there's always room for enhancement. Perhaps additional advanced features could be incorporated to cater to more complex design needs. Nevertheless, this is a minor point and does not detract significantly from the overall positive experience.
  • Auto OSNAP some times get wrong, but you can use command to manual OSNAP to work better.
  • Current 11 and 11.1 version have stability issues -- refresh will crash the current display, leaving a black screen. XREFs are always selectable and selected (whether it indicates it or not), so you must specifically un-select the XREF. Runs out of Graphic memory incredibly quickly. Some fundamental commands don't appear to be available, like PDFCLIP. This SW should be snappier than it is -- I have a Ryzen 9 7950 with 128GB of DDR5 RAM, 4TB of SSD and 32TB of HD, and a NVidia RTX 3090 with 24GB of RAM. I'm on Windows 11 Pro. I have a 1GB symmetric LAN connection. Every other piece of SW (and I have a very large number of demanding items) is much faster on this machine, but CMS IntelliCAD seems to limit itself to a very small part of the available resources, and I've not been successful in solving that issue. One other big issue is that there is zero OEM technical support. While the community is knowledgeable and very enthusiastic, having the OEM properly backing the product they're selling is crucial -- that issue alone would be the single reason I can't recommend the SW. For advanced users that are willing to compromise their experience and can take the hit in a production environment, go ahead, but for the average user, it's just not fully ready for prime time.
  • Like other softwares, installing new ones take some time to set-up, but this is not an issue at all as it is part of the process prior to start creating computer-aided designs.
  • In osnap tool we have to give command for midpoint, nearest, endpoint. In that you can work better.
