The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium (ITC, www.intellicad.org) doesnt actually sell their software direct to the public. They license their software to their various members who in turn develop products which are based on the IntelliCAD Engine. One of the Members creates a very "AutoCAD Like" CAD program called progeCAD IntelliCAD. This Professioal Version of IntelliCAD includes Solid Modeling, output to PDF, import from PDF and DWG drawing native read and write from version 2.5 though 2009.
