CMS Intellicad provided $30 off coupon when I downloaded trial version of software - CADHobby. I’ve used Intellicad 9 and 10 PE Plus versions for years. They were overkill for my uses. CADHobby is much better fit.

Thank you for the feedback.
Great Experience with CMS IntelliCAD I am using AutoCAD since last 14 Years, This is best alternative of AutoCAD. If Flatshot command & parametric dimensions added then it's good a heaven for CAD designer.

Thank you for the feedback.
Love the software. As a hobbyist with a laser cutter, I like the similarities of Autodesk with the added functionality of exporting the SVG file for my laser cutter.

Thank you very much.
Customer support responded quickly & was very helpful with liscensing and download issues I experienced. The program opened a large (1.6GB)DXF file approximately 3 times faster than another VERY well known CAD program. Unfortunately my system is not equiped to adequately process that amount of data so I couldn't give a fair evaluation on the performance when working with the file but the UI is clean and doesn't feel bloated. Very competitive functionality as far as I can tell in a short time. Looking forward to further evaluation.

Academic licenses are provided to students holding an email address from the academic institution ONLY. This is a published requirement, and you've deliberately failed to comply with it without even inquiring us on such matter. Applications from free email services are NOT eligible to get a student license for free.
Resolved! It worked. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you for the review. Our CAD Software in fact yes it does have X-Ray view. You need to switch the graphics device in use to OpenGL ES, or GSDEVICEMODE setting at the command bar to 3.
The software is easy to use if you have experience with other software like Autodesk's AutoCAD or Inventor.
