CorelCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) application for 2D and 3D design. It works on macOS and Windows operating systems.[1] There is also a mobile app of CorelCAD for Android and iOS devices, but it needs a license in order to be accessible.[2]
CorelCAD is no longer sold as of 2025, while customers are redirected to use ARES CAD.[3]

Unlike other Corel products, CorelCAD is not included in any packages including the CorelDRAW Graphic Suite and WordPerfect Office.

Features
[edit] | This section may rely excessively on sources too closely associated with the subject, potentially preventing it from being verifiable and neutral. (June 2021) |
CorelCAD contains all the necessary features of a computer-aided design (CAD) application, but lacks the advanced features which can be found in Autodesk AutoCAD. It can support graphics formats such as DWG, CDR, DXF, SHP, and more.[5]
Compared to AutoCAD, CorelCAD has a cleaner and easier interface to use and learn. However, it lacks the robust features in AutoCAD.
