interCAD Series 2026

interCAD Series 2026 is the latest release of interCAD, Inc.’s professional CAD solution, designed for PCB design, mechanical drafting, and electronic engineering applications. The current version 2026b.26q1 (released March 2026) delivers significant enhancements to library management, PCB layout tools, multi-format import/export capabilities, and overall system stability .

Key New Features in Version 2026b

Enhanced Library Management

• Library Object Manipulation: New Rotate, Move, and Flip functions for objects in Library View, enabling precise component placement and arrangement

• LibComp Icon Display: Fixed issues with blurred icons in the Library browser for cleaner visual identification

• Disabled Library Functions: Library functions automatically disabled when opening Gerber or DXF drawings to prevent conflicts

Improved PCB Layout & Editing

• Polygon Operations: Enhanced polygon editing with smoother arc generation and improved horizontal outline rendering

• Shape Modifications: Added Undo/Redo and Copy/Paste support for shape modifications

• Via Object Handling: Fixed screen flickering when hovering over Via objects

• NetLength Report: Enhanced settings dialog appears consistently with improved header persistence

User Interface & Usability

• Unicode Support: Message displayed when opening drawings with Unicode characters in file path

• Palette Stability: Fixed flickering when opening second drawing and focus shifts to first View

• Review Item Selection: Fixed issue where selecting a Review Item also selected other objects at same coordinates

• Excel Report Generation: Message displayed when generating Excel Report on PCs without Excel installed

• License Management: Fixed issue where license connection failure window appeared behind other windows

• Vector Image Capture: New functionality to capture current View or entire drawing as Vector Image (no distortion when zoomed, within 2MB)

• About Text: Corrected typos in the About dialog

Advanced Import/Export Enhancements

PADS Import/Export

• Fixed abnormal termination caused by missing Arc EndPoint during PADS Import

• Improved conversion so that unfilled Shapes are converted to Lines during PADS to Zuken conversion

• Fixed incorrect Pad Angle conversion during PADS to Zuken conversion

Zuken Import/Export

• Fixed missing inner layer Fill objects and Pads within components during Zuken Export

• Improved Zuken Export: Fill objects converted to either Fill or Shape based on attributes

• Fixed incorrect conversion of Negative attributes for some Shapes

• Fixed missing inner layer Shapes and Text for components without Pins

• Improved memory usage and resolved memory leaks during Zuken Export

• Applied rounding for values of 0.9999 during Zuken Write

• Converted TearDrops that cannot be converted into Fill during Zuken Write

Allegro Conversion

• Fixed missing Pads in some Padstacks during Allegro conversion

• Fixed incorrect Via size conversion during Allegro conversion

• Added Allegro Library conversion functionality

• Fixed issue where Allegro Design Entry HDL Import was executed twice

• Fixed abnormal termination during wiring and Pin coordinate error compensation

Xpedition Conversion

• Fixed incorrect conversion of RouteKeepin

• Improved conversion of BoardOutline Cutouts

• Fixed case sensitivity mismatch between Library and Component CellName

• Stabilized Xpedition conversion to prevent abnormal termination

• Fixed missing Pads in Padstacks with Pads only on Bottom layer when components on Top layer

• Fixed missing NTH during Xpedition conversion

Board Station

• Changed EDIF output path to temporary folder instead of drawing folder during schematic import

• Fixed issue where drawings could not be opened when geoms_ascii folder existed

• Fixed incorrect BottomLayer calculation of TearDrop during conversion

Gerber Import/Export

• When Drill Size cannot be read, set to default value (0.5 mm) with message display

• Fixed issue where Arcs appeared angular when converting Gerber to DXF

• Improved overall performance through Gerber structure optimization

• Added functionality to select all Objects identical to selected Object to simplify Gerber Origin changes

ODB++ Import

• Fixed issue where ODB++ Import waited indefinitely

• Fixed import failure when lzw compression file included inside tgz file

Altium Update

• Fixed termination during schematic CrossProbing

• Fixed issue where Shapes with new Layer attributes (Altium 20.x+) were missing during Import

• Fixed reversed Arc direction during Altium Import

OrCAD Capture Import

• Improved so that PinName and PinLabel are correctly reflected when PinSwap is applied

Core Capabilities

PCB Design

• Schematic Capture: Multi-sheet design with hierarchical support

• PCB Layout: High-density board design with advanced routing tools

• Library Management: Comprehensive component and footprint libraries

• Design Rule Checking: Real-time verification of design constraints

Cross-Probing & Navigation

• Net CrossProbing: Improved so that Nets from all schematic Sheets are selected

• Browser Navigation: Fixed double-click behavior for Parts/Nets/Libs tabs

• ConnectedNet Feature: Fixed arrow key navigation on initial execution

Snapshot & Visualization

• Snapshot > Entire Board: Improved to capture exactly as displayed in Fit > Fit Board

• Drawing Performance: Enhanced for Objects being moved using Move function

• Grid Stability: Fixed flickering of Grid Title when clicking while Tooltip displayed
