Hi there everyone, I am trained to work on AutoCAD at work, yesterday I bought CorelCAD to work at home with. Does anyone know how to purchase a set of interior plugins (bathroom, kitchen), because to my big surprise this is not provided bij CorelDRAW.
Without this, CorelCAD is pretty useless to me
Hi Jo,
You're in for another surprise! I use both AutoCAD and CorelDRAW at work and tried CorelCAD as a go between with no success.
CorelCAD and AutoCAD are not 100% compatible - polylines in CorelCAD become SPLINES in AutoCAD. Even a simple two node line in CorelCAD becomes a SPLINE in AutoCAD. This is the same with exporting from CorelDRAW to DWG or DXF.
Have you found this out yet? If not I would save a copy of an AutoCAD file, then open that dwg copy in CorelCAD, draw a line, save it, then open it in AutoCAD. Do you have all spines now? Forget about the interior plugins as you made a mess of your AutoCAD file. I've tried to solve this issue for years to no success.
If however you DON'T have all splines in AutoCAD from a CorelCAD drawing maybe Corel has figured out how to fix this issue. So please let me know what version of CorelCAD and AutoCAD you are using!
I saw the same, with that said AutoCAD cross application compatibility is a joke with any CAD program many times even different versions of AutoDESK AutoCAD.
