What's the real difference....

between Autocad 2007 and INTELLICAD (http://www.autodsys.com/purchase.htm) ?

Intellicad is closer to LT than full-blown AutoCad.

Intellicad costs half the price of LT and only about 1/8 the price of
AutoCad.

No, that is incorrect.

Intellicad (sold as BricsCAD, Cadopia, etc) is as full featured as the
full version of AutoCAD 14. It has some compatibility with most of the
add-on languages, and a new release due out soon will make its VBA
compatable (the earlier VBA wasn't really compatible). If you get the
Pro version of IntelliCAD, it includes ACIS solid modeling.

So, the main difference concerns the types of entities which IntelliCAD
supports. They only allow creating and editing up to Acad version 14
objects. IntelliCAD will open more recent versions, but things like
Tables are preserved only as proxy objects. If the person who saved
the original Acad file has enabled the option to save proxy graphics,
perhaps then they will display, but can not be edited in Intellicad.
