Built for speed on Windows® and Mac OS®, CorelCAD Delivers Native DWGTM file format support, a full complement of 2D and 3D design tools, and broad compatibility with industry standard CAD tools and workflows
Ottawa, CANADA - May 10, 2011 - Corel® today announced the expansion of its award-winning graphics and technical illustration portfolio with the introduction of CorelCADTM, a powerful and affordable CAD solution that delivers native DWG (industry standard CAD file format) support, and the ability to seamlessly navigate between 2D and 3D environments. Optimized for the Mac and Windows platforms, CorelCAD enables engineers, designers and architects to quickly and easily customize their work environments and work with even greater speed and efficiency.
Competitively priced, CorelCAD offers small-to-medium-sized businesses and larger enterprises an affordable option for site-wide deployments, making it an ideal solution for day-to-day design projects that require a high level of precision and detail.
Improved Workflow and Compatibility Built on Leading CAD Technology
Corel has partnered with Graebert GmbH, a leading CAD developer with over 25 years of industry experience, to develop and market CorelCAD to a wide audience of users. As a result, existing CAD users will enjoy an intuitive environment with familiar command bars, aliases, menus and toolbars. In addition, CorelCAD provides excellent compatibility, working natively with the AutoCAD® DWGTM file format and eliminating the need for an import / export process to read and write files in the industry standard format.

CorelCAD represents a great alternative, particularly for technical designers seeking power and precision at an affordable price," said Klaus Vossen, Product Manager for Technical Graphics at Corel. "We're confident that CorelCAD's combination of price and performance will provide a compelling alternative for architects, engineers, construction firms and any enterprise seeking precision tools for 2D and 3D design."
