CorelCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) application for 2D and 3D design. It works on macOS and Windows operating systems.[1] There is also a mobile app of CorelCAD for Android and iOS devices, but it needs a license in order to be accessible.[2]
CorelCAD was first released in May 2011 based on the ARES engine developed by Graebert, a German company. Upon release, it was priced at $699 only.[3]
Unlike other Corel products, CorelCAD is not included in any packages including the CorelDRAW Graphic Suite and WordPerfect Office.
CorelCAD contains all the necessary features of a computer-aided design (CAD) application, but lacks the advanced features which can be found in Autodesk AutoCAD. It can support graphics formats such as DWG, CDR, DXF, SHP, and more.[4]
Compared to AutoCAD, CorelCAD has a cleaner and easier interface to use and learn. However, it lacks the robust features in AutoCAD.
