Using data from IntelliCAD in other programs

You can use any of the following methods to include IntelliCAD data in a document created in another program:

Embedding
Linking
Exporting

The method you choose depends on the capabilities of the other program and how you want to work with the IntelliCAD data after you've placed it in the other document.

NOTE Each method except exporting uses ActiveX to integrate data from different programs. With ActiveX, you can open IntelliCAD from within the other program to modify the IntelliCAD drawings.
