Description

2D & 3-D CAD software for creating & editing technical drawings in DWG format. You can choose between Perpetual or Network licenses. The ndeg1 alternative for AutoCAD offers agility. ARES Commander is cost-effective and offers a simple switch and a complete replacement at a fraction the cost of AutoCAD. You can enjoy Graebert's ARES CAD software as a 3-in-1 license. This includes ARES Commander (for Windows and macOS) + ARES Kudo(Cloud) + Graebert Touch (iOS + android). These products can be used together to synchronize work across users and devices. You can create and modify DWG drawings locally with files stored on your computer or in sync to Google Drive, Box OneDrive, Dropbox. You can also store files on a private Cloud server via WebDAV. Our advanced CAD features include Dynamic blocks, PDF-to-DWG conversion, Drawing comparison and IFC & Revit import. 3D solid modeling, satellite imagery, street maps, and 3D solid modeling are just a few of the many options.

Description

Designcenter Solid Edge is a complete Siemens software portfolio built to support the full product development process from early design through manufacturing and documentation. It includes capabilities for 2D drafting, 3D design, electrical design, simulation, data management, computer-aided manufacturing, 3D printing, technical publications, and cloud-based collaboration. The platform uses synchronous technology to combine direct modeling speed with parametric design flexibility and control. This allows engineers and designers to make changes quickly, work with imported CAD data, and reduce delays caused by rigid modeling workflows. Designcenter Solid Edge is positioned as an affordable and easy-to-use solution for teams that need professional design tools without unnecessary complexity. It helps users create accurate models, validate product performance, manage data, and communicate manufacturing or maintenance instructions. The software is also useful for businesses that need to move quickly, such as race car component designers, machine builders, manufacturers, and product development teams. Its scalable tiers allow organizations to choose the features that match their needs as projects and teams grow. By connecting design, simulation, manufacturing, documentation, and collaboration, Designcenter Solid Edge helps organizations improve productivity and reduce development risk.
