Corelcad 2019 review7/13/2023 In CorelCAD, you must first use the MakeBlock command to define a block based on existing objects and then use the EditCustomBlock command to open that block in the Custom Block Editor. In AutoCAD, you can open the block editor to define a dynamic block on the fly. For example, while the previous version could open dynamic blocks, CorelCAD 2019 adds Custom Blocks, an authoring tool for creating dynamic blocks.īut there are significant differences between CorelCAD and AutoCAD. Some Features Miss the MarkĪlthough CorelCAD doesn’t include every function found in AutoCAD, the list of missing features has been shrinking, a trend that continues with the release of CorelCAD 2019. A few commands have different names-such as PATTERN instead of ARRAY-but thanks to command shortcuts, you can type the AutoCAD command name to start almost any CorelCAD command. For example, CorelCAD has a command window and you can start commands by typing, just like AutoCAD. Other aspects of CorelCAD are strikingly similar to AutoCAD. You can use the drawing file tabs to easily switch between drawings or start a new drawing, and use tabs in the lower-left corner of the window to switch between model space and multiple sheets, which is similar to paper space layouts in AutoCAD. Like AutoCAD, each drawing appears in its own window, identified by a file tab across the top of the drawing area. When you first start CorelCAD, the program displays its “Classic” user interface, which includes pull-down menus and a host of toolbars with icon-only buttons docked around the perimeter of the screen, much like very old versions of AutoCAD.Īs soon as you switch to the “Drafting and Annotation” or “3D Modeling” workspaces-equivalents to the similarly named workspaces in AutoCAD-CorelCAD changes to a ribbon interface quite similar to that of AutoCAD. CorelCAD 2019 offers productivity improvements as well as new and enhanced tools for 2D drafting and 3D solid modeling. With CorelCAD 2019, the program can now open and save drawings in the latest AutoCAD 2018 DWG format, whereas the previous release could open the newer format but saved drawings in the older 2013 format.ĬorelCAD 2019 is available for Windows and Mac OS mobile versions are available for Android and iOS devices. CorelCAD uses DWG as its own native file format.
