What does it actually take to port a 180-command geospatial and surveying toolkit to a new CAD platform? Cadomation found out.
New on the ITC blog: Cadomation CEO Imran Anees gives an honest, developer-to-developer account of bringing SPCAD to progeCAD using IcARX. SPCAD was already a mature, multi-platform product — so the team knew what to look for. The post covers what IcARX handled well (entities, database access, core command flows), where API parity required workarounds, and the specific issues their team had to solve: GetOffsetCurves behavior, owner-window handling, ProgressMeter equivalents. The kind of detail you want before you start, not after.

If you're evaluating IntelliCAD as a development platform, we're also hosting a webinar on June 16 — Build on IntelliCAD: Developer Platform Options for Every CAD Application. IcARX, IRX, .NET, AutoLISP, and our new Integrator tier, with real case studies from companies already building on the platform.

New on the ITC blog: How Aplitop brought tcpMDT® to progeCAD using IcARX.
tcpMDT is a professional surveying and civil engineering tool in daily use in more than 80 countries. Adding progeCAD to their supported CAD lineup took about three months of elapsed time, or roughly two developer-months of focused effort for a well-structured codebase.
Aplitop CEO Francisco Navarrete Mandly walks through their port to progeCAD, what the migration looked like, where it was harder than expected, and what they'd like to see the platform improve next.

IntelliCAD is not a single product. It's a developer platform with options, and the right way to build on it depends on what you're trying to ship.
On June 16, I'm running a free one-hour webinar that walks through the four main paths developers take with IntelliCAD:
• Porting an ObjectARX product to IntelliCAD with the IcARX API
• Building a branded vertical CAD product on IRX or native Teigha .NET
• Automating IntelliCAD for clients (ObjectARX through IcARX, or AutoLISP)
• A commercial path to IntelliCAD through the new Integrator tier
We'll look at real member companies using each of these approaches, preview what's coming in IntelliCAD 15, and share an early look at the Integrator tier launching this summer.
If you're evaluating CAD platforms for a new product, thinking about porting an existing add-on, or curious about the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium, this one's for you.

Need ARX API functionality that isn’t supported yet? The ITC team works directly with developers to add it.
Download the IntelliCAD trial, compile your ARX code and try it: https://t.co/4YxO43bpjT

Building ARX apps for a single platform limits your reach. IcARX exposes 20,000+ functions with near-ARX parity, and IntelliCAD members offer perpetual licensing with flexible pricing.
See how it works: https://t.co/AhnvwaZKRF

Your ARX code doesn’t have to live on just one platform. We just showed an ARX app recompiled for IntelliCAD using our IcARX API. Zero code changes. Same behavior. Watch the full walkthrough: https://t.co/9uMK68yrgI

Congrats to CMS on the release of CMS IntelliCAD 14.1.
Launching right after IntelliCAD 14.1, and on Christmas Day, is no small feat. A great year-end release and a nice present heading into the new year.
