Good alternative to Autocad
By Andrew
This is an ok CAD suite with an average interface. When using it you could be forgiven for forgetting your not using autocad. It is reasonably fast and can work with a number of file formats and links in nicely with existing corel software if you have it. For example you can export designs into coreldraw etc.However there are a number of free alternatives for the average user such as Draftsight (2D only) and even Google SketchUp (2D and 3D)! And Draftsight has more than a passing resemblence to corelcad.Overall a very competent piece of software which should be instantly familiar to users of autocad and at a fraction of what an autocad licence might cost you. If you are a profesisonal user it represents evry good value for money. If you are a casual/hobbyist user then there are free alternatives to consider.

Not for a casual user
By Tellboy
CAD (computer Aided design) software packages fall between freeware and packages costing thousands of pounds.It is not the type of software product that you cant just install on your computer and fiddle around with to learn how to use it. I think it is essential to do a course on the subject or it will be heavy going and you will be quicker using a drawing board and T square the old fashioned way.I am at this disavantage previously only teaching myself many years ago using a piece of software called TurboCad and just about understand the basics.At a price of just over £[] for the reviewed product I am only using a minute portion of its potential and am often completely unable to progress further using the help system provided.I will continue but am finding it very difficult.

Those already familiar with CAD won't be disappointed
By B. Paszylk
I do realize there are many free alternatives to this rather expensive Corel CAD package, but then I have no problems seeing why all the people who worked with CAD in the past still stick to it, no matter how steep the price. It's a user-friendly programme with an intuitive interface and it really does everything it should be doing. Obviously, to make the best of it, you should get acquainted with the programme's more advanced options, which takes quite some time and so Corel CAD still remains a tool for professionals rather than for amateurs. But as such it's a very effective one.
