CorelCAD 2021

What’s new in CorelCAD 2021?

Drawing Compare Palette

Compare two files with highlighted colors to track changes, show multiple options within a project, and define before and after points within your workflow.

Enhanced Pattern Command

Duplicate objects and patterns along a path in the same perspective with new associativity in the Pattern command,  now you can replicate objects and patterns along a linear or circular path.

Convert Dynamic Blocks to Custom Blocks

Save changes to dynamic block definitions by converting them to custom blocks, providing more control and editing abilities in your files.

Redesigned Print Dialog*

Enjoy a streamlined printing process bringing multiple options to one location, providing additional display options and more control.

Enhanced PDF Output*

Adjust the file size and image quality to fit your needs, with the enhanced ability to set the quality of raster and vector images when exporting your work to PDFs.

CAD program for 2D drawing, 3D design, and 3D printing

Conceptualize quickly

Unleash CorelCAD, a powerful collection of design tools developed expressly for manufacturing, construction, and engineering professionals. Conceptualize, plan, draft, lay out, and edit with the assistance of a leading CAD software. With an expansive feature set, your 2D drawings will come together expertly.

Transform with ease

Equip yourself with advanced tools and features in this CAD program to transform 2D drawings into 3D models with a few clicks. Complete projects quickly with CorelCAD; consistently delivering to specifications and project parameters.

Output with accuracy

Elevate your work with a powerful 3D design software for text, graphics, and tactile outputs. CorelCAD’s full feature set manages nearly any technical design task, making collaboration with colleagues or stakeholders a breeze. 3D printing is simple with .STL support for 3D printers or output connection.

Execute efficiently

Confidently deliver detailed projects on time and with precision using CorelCAD. The latest AutoCAD, full native, .DWG file format support allows designers to collaborate seamlessly. CAD software aligns with any working environment, leveraging incredible customization and automation support options for a rich user experience.

CorelCAD 2021 Productivity

Produce professional projects in no time with industry-leading design resources and features.

Redesigned Print Dialog

Get more control with a streamlined printing process bringing multiple print options to one centralized location.

Industry-standard features

CorelCAD is compatible with all major CAD programs. Onboard quickly with familiar commands and toolbar items.

Layer palette

Access layer controls easily without leaving the drawing UI. Merge one or multiple layers to a destination layer.

Layer group filters

Group all the referenced layers from other drawings that are created automatically when attaching external references.

Design resources

Access and manage design components (blocks, styles, drawings, and images) for a variety of CAD projects.

CorelCAD 2021 2D drafting software

Your 2D drawings and drafts will easily come together with this feature set.

Associative Patterns

Apply associativity in the Pattern command to duplicate objects and patterns along a path in the same perspective to quickly create larger, more complex graphics.

Custom Block features

Save a Custom Block (symbol definition) as a separate drawing with New CBWBlockAs, or test Custom Block definitions without exiting the Block Editor.

Drawing constraint features

See how the new set constraint name format can specify how dimensional constraints are displayed, and geometric shapes conform to dimensional constraints.

MultiLeader and Dimension tools

Configure callouts and leader lines that auto adjust. Create a new dimension style from a specified dimension and use Smart Dimension tools for accuracy.

Object Snaps and Grips

Redistribute objects with Object Snaps, Grips, and Polar Guides. Contextual shortcut menus allow interactive editing of the geometry.

CorelCAD 2021 3D modeling

Software with professional output made easy with advanced technical tools.

3D design and editing tools

Create wireframe geometry from the edges of a 3D solid, surface, mesh, or region. Use OffsetEdges to make 2D entities from 3D solid or surface boundary.

STL file import

Import stereolithography files (*.stl) to insert contained 3D objects. Further modification is now possible on ready-made 3D design imports.

PolySolid 3D solid editing and modeling tools

Use PolySolid to draw 3D solid objects in the shape of polygonal walls. Apply ChamferEdges to bevel 3D solid objects, with Face and Loop options.

Transition from 2D to 3D

Create a 2D design in CorelCAD or import from CorelDRAW to shift to 3D. Extrude, revolve, or sweep 2D entities along a path to go from 2D drafting to 3D modeling.

3D mouse support

Navigate in 3D with support for 3Dconnexion input devices.

CorelCAD 2021 Compatibility

Platform support, printing, and peripherals make CorelCAD a standout.

Platform support

Enjoy a native CAD software experience on Windows and Mac including industry-standard features and support for the latest operating systems.

3D printing

Export 3D solid objects to .STL, the most commonly-used file format for 3D prints. Print 3D prototypes using .STL support for direct connection to 3D printers or output to third party 3D printing services.

3D mouse

Navigate in 3D with support for 3Dconnexion input devices*. Rotate 2D and 3D drawings by moving the cap of the 3D mouse. Assign preferred navigation settings or custom commands to buttons of the 3D mouse.

AutoCAD features & files

Open, edit, and save files with the latest AutoCAD .DWG file format—ensuring swift collaboration between colleagues, suppliers, and business partners. Easily edit dynamic blocks from AutoCAD with .DWG files support.

File support

CorelCAD supports leading formats, including .PDF, .SVG, .EPS, .DWF, .STL, .SAT, .SHP, and .DWS. CorelCAD for Windows supports import from and export to CorelDRAW (.CDR) and Corel DESIGNER (.DES)*.
