Train has left the station or what has been keeping us busy.

Hello Everyone,

As you may have heard, we have been very busy getting Carlson 2013 with IntelliCAD 7.2 release out of the door. The product was released in the end of June and I know many of you have already installed and running it. This time, IntelliCAD 6.6 is not included (as well as AutoCAD 2000-2002 support), but IntelliCAD 7.2 is and it is official this time.

IntelliCAD 7.2 has received significant number of performance upgrades on the graphics end as well as few features. It also has newer DWG reading/writing engine which has better support for newer AutoCAD entities.

In meantime we have been keeping lookout for crash submissions from users on both IntelliCAD 7.1 and 7.2 and both have received many fixes as result of this input.

Some of the key changes:

-- Fix for keeping  plot jobs small has been included in 7.2 (not possible to port to 7.1, unfortunately)
-- Image problems with 7.2 were fixed after the release
-- Several deadlocks (hangups) have been fixed in 7.2 and more will come in next update
-- Problems with PDF attachments lead us to disable them in 7.1 to improve on stability with such drawings
-- Many crash fixes (both 7.1 and 7.2)

Carlson 2012 update (120712):

and

Carlson 2013 update (120711):

or

We are getting steady input from users on IntelliCAD 7.2, identifying problems and able to turn around fixes rather quickly, so these updates will keep coming.

We also intend to make another official (public) update to Carlson 2012, IntelliCAD 7.1 soon, which will probably be the last one for 2012 release.

Thank you for all the input,
Leonid
