Yani in building mode... he *** at drawing and as accuracy goes he needs a computer. A pencil snapper that can't draw a straight line. Lucky for the tools, like a laser level.
A router "look at those oh so cute joins"
So I did a month of homework and found a few things that are interesting and curious.

Every wonder how these kitchen companies do the software? Do they draw it up on Autocad from home grown templates?
NUP the whole thing is a package from shop front to shop back.
"Exports to Paperless Shop" It is a parts list but I suspect it includes billing components.

If doors and drawers are your company’s specialty, KCD Software’s Doors Plus is a stand-alone, template design software to communicate with your nested based CNC router.
Hundreds of templates are included in the software like doors, drawer fronts and dovetail drawer boxes. It’s also easy to create your own one-of-a-kind custom templates. Parametric tool paths can be assigned for your multiple tool operations. Create your own custom libraries for doors, drawers, wine racks, fluted pilasters, valances and more for traditional and CNC manufacturing.
Doors Plus includes over 300 ready-to-use custom component templates. The order-entry system makes it easy to enter your custom items and modify details on the fly. Doors Plus gives you more custom product capacity, flexibility and efficiency than ever before.
What's interesting is the narrow vertical market and the end to end nature of the software.
Trimble... 80yo and still running a public company. Have a read of his profile. This is the dude behind SketchUp. 15% of revenue to R&D. Utilizing GPS was how they got started. https://spectrum.ieee.org/charles-trimble-bet-his-company-on-gps
I'm liking it more as I use it. The developers check through the forums and look at where people are having issues and make videos about those issues. Don't know if that would work for Draw as most of the issues are ID10T.
Don't be insulting ID10T's where do you think they got the idea for CFM.
The problem is generational, the ability to think needs to make a come back. Today they want because they're intitled. Earning is a concept that's not in style.
It's no wonder that art and graphics art degrees have been moved to the top of the list of degrees that you won't get your money back on.
I find the interface with Photo-PAINT works for me, with that said I do all my editing in the application and import edited files except for extracting images from client files and color tweaks on imported images due to contrast issues with file content.
I then use the edit bitmap feature and Photo-PAINT launches even with 500 meg images in about 3 seconds and files return instantly.
Draw takes memory, processor and display card power I spend about $300 extra when I build a system and that makes Draw life easier.
The idea, the CorelDraw, the shity reality when it is imported to SketchUp.
Imports back into Draw perfectly. There is a SketchUp plug-in for PDF... $300.
If Corel got cleaver they would task someone with writing just such a plug-in for CDR files. Forget the export filter you can't charge for... stick a plug-in on their site WITH Corel badging. It's literally free marketing in a busy place.
