Compatibility for a smoother workflow
CorelCAD makes it easy to collaborate and share with
colleagues and clients by providing support for a variety
of industry-standard formats.
Access drafts and sketches from CorelDRAW
*:
Many designers prefer to use a creative graphics
application for making first sketches, prior to getting
down to the precise CAD drafting and 2D/3D modeling
work. With CorelCAD 2014 for Windows, you can
import CorelDRAW (CDR) and Corel DESIGNER (DES) files
as model space objects with a representation in a layout
sheet. You can also work seamlessly with multi-page
CDR files (from version 8 to X6) and DES files (from
version 10 to X6).
Publish to CorelDRAW
and Corel DESIGNER
*:
CAD files aren’t used only in Engineering departments;
however, integrating CAD files into other corporate
workflows has always been a challenge. Graphics
professionals working in other areas of a company
regularly have to deal with CAD files because they often
contain content ideal for presentations, technical
documentation, or marketing materials. CorelCAD 2014
for Windows simplifies the repurposing of CAD files by
offering export to CorelDRAW and Corel DESIGNER
formats*, so you can quickly access and easily reuse that
information.
Hassle-free file sharing: CorelCAD 2014 facilitates
collaboration with colleagues and clients by providing
support for a variety of leading industry-standard
formats, including SVG, ACIS SAT, and DWF. Plus, the
ability to save to PDF ensures that non-CAD users can
always view your drawings.
Repurpose published content: With support for
both PDF and DGN underlays, CorelCAD 2014 makes it
easy to reuse published PDF and CAD files (Microstation
DGN) as external references in your drawings.
* Import and export of CorelDRAW (.CDR) and Corel DESIGNER (.DES)
file formats is only available in CorelCAD 2014 for Windows.
Repurpose 3D CAD files: With support for the
popular 3D exchange file format ACIS SAT, CorelCAD
2014 ensures that you can open and work with 3D
models.
Print 3D designs from CorelCAD: You can export
multiple 3D solid objects to stereolithographic file format
(STL), the most commonly used format for processing 3D
prints. STL support provides a direct connection to most
3D printers, which lets you print 3D prototypes.
Work with GIS files: CorelCAD 2014 provides
support for GIS files in ESRI Shape (.SHP) file format. This
lets you visualize maps and geospatial models that were
created by geographic information systems (GIS)
applications.
