Architects, Engineers, and
Construction (AEC) service providers
In the AEC sector, CAD designers work primarily
in 2D, but with an increasing emphasis on 3D
design. They work for small to medium-sized
firms and create a variety of drawings,
including 2D designs for drafting and
construction plans, elevations, floor plans, and
construction details. Their projects are just as
likely to be created from scratch as to be based
on legacy design components. The ability to
collaborate and exchange files with colleagues
and clients is critical to their workflow. And,
many architects prefer the Macintosh operating
system or work in a hybrid Windows PC and
Macintosh environment. And as mobile devices
become more powerful, the ability to work
anywhere opens up a world of possibilities for
this sector.
CorelCAD 2016 offers a lightweight, standards-
compliant 2D application that supports 3D
solid modeling. The ability to work in the .DWG
format, including AutoCAD 2016 .DWG files,
eliminates any conversion issues when
exchanging files with colleagues or reusing
legacy files. Collaboration is simplified and
accelerated through support for voice notations
and commenting in editable drawings. Plus,
files can be exported to CorelDRAW (CDR)*,
Corel DESIGNER (DES)*, and PDF, simplifying
information sharing with other departments in
their company, such as documentation or
marketing. What’s more, CorelCAD 2016 is
optimized for both Windows and Mac OS, so
users can work on the platform they prefer.
And the new CorelCAD Mobile lets users work
anywhere, anytime on their Android tablet.
