Working with other programs

IntelliCAD offers great flexibility in its capability to be used with other programs. You can include an IntelliCAD drawing in a Microsoft Word document or insert a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing a parts list into an IntelliCAD drawing. To include IntelliCAD drawings in other programs and documents from other programs in IntelliCAD drawings, you either link or embed them. You can also save IntelliCAD drawings in other file formats that can be used directly with other programs or send IntelliCAD drawings to co-workers via electronic mail.
