I know this is the AutoDesk forum but I'm not seeing an Intellicad one so here I am. 
I've been using AutoCad forever! Started with version 4. Got fed up with their forever rising costs and switched to Autocad Light. Now it won't install on my Win7 laptop and instead of $250 ACAD Lite is now around $1k. So I'm heading for Intellicad.
I've installed the CMS species of Intellicad Premium Plus which has the 3D module. I mucked about with it every night for a couple of weeks before it expired. I had a wee bit of frustration with the 3D aspects but it seemed 'useful'.
Questions:
1) Has anyone else used the 3D functions to actually do things successfully with it? I'm wondering if the extra $60 is worth it.
2) The reason I'm looking at 3D at all is to get into 3D printing. Does anyone have enough experience to tell me if the Intellicad's 3D ability will be adequate for typical 3D printing tasks?
