Can CorelDRAW open CAD files?

Yes, CorelDRAW Technical Suite can open DWG files, in addition to many other file formats. DWG file extension represents a binary file format used for CAD (Computer Aided Design) drawings.

Do architects use CorelDRAW?

Yes, many architects rely on CorelDRAW to bring their plans to life. Architects can create precise blueprints and technical drawings to exact specifications with our professional software for technical design and drafting. Learn more about CorelDRAW for planning and architecture.

What's the difference between AutoCAD and CorelDRAW Technical Suite?

AutoCAD is a CAD software developed specifically for architects, engineers, and construction professionals. It is widely used for creating precise 2D and 3D models of buildings, machinery, and other objects. AutoCAD provides a complex set of tools for drafting, modeling, and documentation.

CorelDRAW Technical Suite is a comprehensive collection of applications for technical communication professionals and technical graphics users. It provides seamless technical illustration and design workflows from opening 2D and 3D source files, photos, documents and data, to producing, collaborating on, and publishing technical communications. CorelDRAW Technical Suite is widely used in discrete manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, high tech, telecommunications, AEC, and apparel industries, for creating parts illustrations, maps, schematics, blueprints, technical documentation, and much more.

When comparing CorelDRAW Technical Suite to CAD applications like AutoCAD, it’s important to note that CorelDRAW Technical Suite includes an additional set of tools to close gaps in technical drawing and design workflows, such as photo editing, layout, and creative design applications, making it the most comprehensive solution for visual information processing. It supports an extensive list of file formats on import and export, including DWG and DXF for collaboration with CAD apps, and it delivers all the power and precision of a dedicated CAD software, without the complex CAD experience.
