- Description
- The purpose of this modification is to add sole source information. The Department of Navy owns a software program that is tightly integrated with IntelliCAD. IntelliCAD provides the vector drawing engine that structures all of the geometry. At the same time, the software modules integrated with IntelliCAD generate the XML code that drives wiring modules. When the files are properly structured, this creates a conversion to generate the final graphics. This is an important step, because the software program maintains all of the IDs created in CAD and ensures that they are translated on a one-for-one basis with the geometry created. If the IDs are not translated correctly, none of the logic will work. You'd essentially end up with "dumb" SVG because the IDs in the SVG would have no reference in the XML. There is no way to simply replace the IntelliCAD software with something else; the nature of the IntelliCAD software required us to use IntelliCAD-specific calls contained within IntelliCAD code (not its API) to get IDs of the geometry created, set up menus and wizards, and construct the graphics in a way that could be understood in SVG. It's possible that software could be rewritten to replace IntelliCAD, but it would be a complete rewrite, and the output would have to be 100% compatible with the.dwg format because the SVG generation tool is invoked by the software, but is a separate application that only understands the.dwg format. The cost to replace the IntelliCAD portion of the software will far exceed the required yearly licensing fee. The time required to replace the IntelliCAD will place a significant scheduling burden on the programs who currently use the software.
