Corel saw a gap in its product line that called out for CAD. In fact, Designer is sold in a suite with CorelDraw and CorelPhoto for professional documentation and illustration.Īll of which brings us back to the new CorelCAD. Designer is interoperable with document programs and of course it works seamlessly with Corel’s drawing and paint tools, CorelDraw and CorelPhoto. Designer lets users work with 2D and 3D CAD files, add elements including dimensioning call-outs, and other details useful for documentation and illustration. It works with major CAD files from the major vendors (support for advanced CAD file formats is provided by an add-on from Right Hemisphere). The company’s Designer product is used in publishing and technical illustration. For instance, Corel’s tools are used in technical illustration, for sign making, and apparel design. The ARES 3D modeler is based on the ACIS engine.Ĭorel’s customers already include a number of CAD users and/or people working directly with CAD files. CorelCAD includes the features CAD users expect including command line entry, aliases, short cuts, and customization via several approaches including LISP and Visual Studio.
Gerard Metrailler, Senior Director and Product Manager, Graphics for Corel, told us the Corel team worked closely with Graebert to create a CAD program that integrated well with the Corel set of tools and that featured an easy to understand interface.
The new program is designed for professionals and priced at $699, a price tag well below that of most competing products, most notably AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT.ĬorelCAD is based on the ARES engine developed by German company Graebert.
Corel has been steadily building a business around technical drawing with CorelCAD it takes the next step into design and collaboration.ĭoes the world need another CAD program? Corel thinks so and today the company is introducing CorelCAD, a new 2D and 3D CAD program for Mac and Windows.
