Design Resources docker: With the handy
Design Resources docker, you can quickly
access and repurpose existing design assets,
such as blocks, dimension styles, layers, line
styles, reference drawings, sheets, table styles,
and text styles. The Design Resources docker
makes it easy to find and access both local and
network design assets.
PDF Underlay: You can reference PDF files in a
drawing as a PDF Underlay. You can specify the
layer visibility of PDF Underlays, clip the PDF
Underlay to display only a portion of the PDF,
and detach underlayers from current drawings.
CorelCAD 2016 also supports Microstation
DGN files as underlays.
