No incentive was offered Good #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The functionalities and the good interoperability with other corel softwares #### Cons The user interface that is not so clear as others cad softwares --- ### Affordable and easy to learn 3D drafting design - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Oil & Energy - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I found CorelCAD easy to use because of the AutoCad knowledge and experience I have. It is an affordable software for personal projects and small businesses. It can be use by any 3D drafter for architectural and structural design, either beginner or advanced level. It has compatible files with AutoCAD which is great to share with others. #### Cons I am a casual user of CorelCad and so far it was pretty good for the projects I worked on, so I don't have anything negative to say about this software. --- ### For me, one of the most competitive vector software in the market - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mario G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The way you can convert an image to vectors in less than 5 minutes. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love this software when vector graphics is in the title. I think this is the most amazing product to create vector images and graphics. It is not hard to learn at all, as all the tools are pretty easy to use. The ability of "vectorize" an image automatically is one of the biggest features, as you literally have to click a button to convert a pixel image into vectors so that you can scale it or edit as much as you want. Also, I think Corel Draw has improved its software in the last 3-4 years. Tools are easy to find and gives you the opportunity to create templates. #### Cons The only thing I consider that needs more improvement is the "snap" and dimensionality matter. I think that setting rulers are not enough to get points nor dimensions accurate. --- ### Inexpensive, Complicated, Rivals Expensive CAD software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: David B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Once I got past getting situated with the software, I was satisified with the value vs. features of this software. The interface is pleasing. #### Cons I did not like the learning curve that came with learning this software. After using AutoCAD and Blender, etc, I can say that this software could be simplified a bit to gain an edge over competitors. Right now, it feels more like an underpowered, inexpensive AutoCAD. If that's what you want, great, but if not, you may want to consider a larger investment for something a little more solid. Still like this software. --- ### Cheap and good CAD alternative. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Working with CAD software is sometime somewhere between modern graphic intuitive and old school scripting. #### Reasons for choosing CorelCAD AutoCAD price is tooo high. Corel has better reputation than Becker, and better support community. Shaper3D, hm, at the end we buy Shaper3D, because it is way different software than classic CAD drawing suite. --- ### Excelente programação - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Alanis R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Architecture & Planning - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. ótima, todos nós da empresa utilizamos #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Fácil de usar, excelente visualização, acessos simples e precisos. #### Cons Sombras e cores., fora isso nada a reclamar #### Reasons for switching to CorelCAD Fácil configuração e mais precisa para o que utilizamos --- ### CorelCAD is the best software where you get all the things related to vector designs in one place. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ashley R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
