When you first start CorelCAD, the program displays its “Classic” user interface that includes pull-down menus and a host of toolbars with icon-only buttons docked around the perimeter of the screen, much like old versions of AutoCAD. CorelCAD 2018 offers new tools and enhancements aimed at improving its 2D and 3D capabilities.
CorelCAD 2018 is available for Windows and Mac OS, with an updated version of its CorelCAD Mobile app for Android devices as well as its first-ever CorelCAD Mobile app for iOS scheduled to be released in early 2018. With this latest release, CorelCAD can now open drawings saved in the latest AutoCAD 2018 DWG format, although CorelCAD still saves DWG files to the older 2013 format. The new Helix command in CorelCAD 2018 lets you create 2D spirals and 3D helixes that can serve as the basis for creating more complex objects.ĬorelCAD is positioned as a more affordable alternative to AutoCAD and uses DWG as its own native CorelCAD file format.
