I was under the impression that IntelliCAD was file and command compatible with AutoCAD. Does it have the same import options?

The nontransferable license is also news to me - I never checked the fine print. Do you know if any other companies have the same restrictions? I find it strange, but believable that AutoDesk has a
policy like that. I did know that they were pretty vicious about anti-piracy, so I was trying to always stay legit on ways to get stuff (or so I thought).

Please tell me that it's legal to go dumpster diving for equipment! The servo motors and linear bearings that I have came off junked industrial robots. (The cnc mill had already been stripped of parts
before I got there.)
