Occasional 2D CAD users
There are two groups of occasional 2D CAD
users, each with distinct needs and workflows.
Firstly, CAD designers working for large
enterprises in the manufacturing sector design
primarily in 3D, however, they still need 2D
support. The types of drawings they design
include assembly schematics and parts details,
and many of their legacy files are 2D CAD
(.DWG), which have to be maintained. A 2D
draft will often serve as the basis for a 3D
design, and they need to be able to repurpose
3D files to add detail to 2D drawings. To share
their work with other departments, they
publish CAD drawings to a range of formats.
Secondly, graphic designers need an intuitive
tool to edit CAD files that supports all elements
of .DWG drawings, such as model spaces and
layout sheets. They work in marketing and
technical documentation departments, and the
ability to work with 2D CAD files allows them
to reuse design content in user guides,
marketing materials, and presentations.
CorelCAD addresses these needs by offering an
affordable, standards-compliant 2D CAD
application that complements 3D CAD
solutions. The ability to import drafts from
CorelDRAW (CDR), and export CAD drawings to
CorelDRAW and Corel DESIGNER file formats*
simplifies repurposing content, ensuring that
users can maintain and reuse legacy content.
