Title: InteliCAD is back! We need beta testers
Post by: JMilner on October 15, 2019, 08:16:02 PM

Hi everyone,


    My name is Jeremy Milner. Some of you may remember my dad Matt Milner and his program InteliCAD. Matt started developing InteliCAD in 1987 and was the lead developer until it was acquired in 2001. After 17 years, Matt and I were able to buy InteliCAD back from CTI this last December. We have an updated version working in all versions of AutoCAD but we need some beta testers. If you are interested contact us through our website www.intelicadhvac.com
     We will be giving out a limited number of activations through the end of this year. We need to make sure that we are downloading correctly to a variety of cutters and to make sure we have taken care of all of the bugs.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Wow, plot twist! I was an IntelliCAD beta tester (and Marcomp C Lib user) in the late 90s before Visio bought Marcomp, Microsoft bought Visio ... wishing you mad success.

tl;dr: Doesn't make me feel old at all. O.o

Interesting - thought it was a typo - odd decision to opt for a name collision like that - thank ya sir.

We spent a lot of time worrying about the confusion between names but we were InteliCAD long before Intellicad existed. Our HVAC tools for AutoCAD were the best in the business up until we were forcefully acquired by CTI. We are still considering a name change but it is most important for us to reconnect with our past users.

My idle $0.02:  inteliduct.com seems to be up for grabs.   Grab it before some squatter wants $$$$ as is already the case for intelliduct.com and run it alongside your existing web assets.

Name confusion aside - wishing you and your business partners much success Jeremy - cheers.
