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.
Compared to AutoCAD, CorelCAD has a cleaner and easier interface to use and learn. However, it lacks the robust features in AutoCAD.
