What's New
Take a closer look at the 10 most important reasons to acquire the new
CorelCAD 2013 now:
NEW! AutoCAD® DWG™ 2013 support
CorelCAD 2013 now reads the new DWG file format of AutoCAD 2013,
enabling full compatibility when working with customers and partners who
use this software. Plus, strong read support is paramount for users
needing to receive and manipulate files that have been created with the
new AutoCAD version. CorelCAD 2013 saves to DWG natively so you enjoy
full compatibility, support, features and CorelCAD file attributes.
NEW! More OS support: Windows 8 and Mac
OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)
In addition to the existing support for Windows XP, Vista 7 and Mac OS
10.5+, CorelCAD 2013 now offers support for Windows 8 users to access
CorelCAD as a Windows 8 Desktop Application, and Mac users can take full
advantage of Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) features, including full
screen application mode
Improved performance and application speed
With an increase in application speed, both Windows and Mac users will
benefit from increased efficiency and enhanced performance. In addition,
an improved memory use will expedite the loading process for larger
drawings, reducing the loading time by up to 40%.
Native 64-bit Windows support
Each operating system offers a powerful way to support the workflow
process. For Windows users, there is a 64-bit version of CorelCAD to
manage and process large CAD files, plus significantly increase workflow
performance.
NEW! Revision cloud tool
Make the review and revision process simpler and more efficient by using
the Cloud command to create revision clouds. Revision clouds are used in
CAD drawings to highlight areas that require or contain revisions.
Drawing areas can be accentuated with specific shapes such as
rectangular, elliptical and freehand Clouds. In addition, you can also
set the specific layer for a Cloud, the line color, line style and line
weight, and also adjust the radius of the sequential arcs of Clouds.
NEW! Align viewport tool
With the new functionality within the Viewport command, it’s now easier
than ever to arrange the elements of your drawings and gain better, more
accurate alignment in sheets. Users no longer have to guess if their
locations are precise. Instead, the viewports are aligned by the
geometry on the inside of the viewport.
NEW! In-place TEXT editing
CorelCAD now enables text editing right on the screen instead of using a
separate dialog for editing text in CAD drawings. This functionality
mimics text editing in CorelDRAW and other graphics software
applications. With in-place editing, you can modify the definitions of
Components, which are Block definitions or referenced drawings in the
current drawing known as Elements. For efficiency, the Component
instances in the drawing show the changes in real time.
NEW! DGN Underlay
DGN files originate from MicroStation® or other CAD software and you can
then specify layer visibility of a DGN Underlay that is a referenced DGN
file in a drawing. In addition, you can attach, clip boundaries, layer
and detach underlays from current drawings. The underlay functionality
allows you to display only part of a DGN Underlay since the entity is
clipped at a boundary you create or specify.
NEW! ExplodeX command
The ExplodeX command will convert Ellipses and Splines into Polylines.
This command is particularly beneficial in preparing drawings to export
to other software applications or devices that don’t support Ellipses or
Splines, such as legacy engraving devices. Additionally, you can choose
the Explode command to explode other complex entities like Blocks.
NEW! Automation capabilities
VSTA (Microsoft® Visual Studio Tools for Applications) improvements The VSTA Manager toolbar allows you to record, edit
and run VSTA macros, which enable you to perform repetitive tasks
and automate command sequences. Create unique macros using the
built-in features of VSTA. The standard macros are created with
VSTA’s built-in features, and to create advanced macros you can use
the integrated development environment. Best of all, you don’t need
programming experience to use macros!
NEW! Continued LISP
Take advantage of innovative support for continued lisp commands.
CorelCAD supports LISP routines so you can leverage existing custom
solutions. The continued LISP support can be leveraged for use with
CorelCAD and avoids extra programming steps. Users familiar with
LISP in other CAD applications will find CorelCAD programming just
as easy to master since it supports the same structure.
