What’s New in CorelCAD 2021?

Drawing Compare Palette
Compare two files with highlighted colors to track changes, show multiple options within a project, and define before and after points within your workflow.

Enhanced Pattern Command
Duplicate objects and patterns along a path in the same perspective with new associativity in the Pattern command, now you can replicate objects and patterns along a linear or circular path.

Convert Dynamic Blocks to Custom Blocks
Save changes to dynamic block definitions by converting them to custom blocks, providing more control and editing abilities in your files.

Redesigned Print Dialog*
Enjoy a streamlined printing process bringing multiple options to one location, providing additional display options and more control.

Enhanced PDF Output
Adjust the file size and image quality to fit your needs, with the enhanced ability to set the quality of raster and vector images when exporting your work to PDFs.


Release Notes
New in CorelCAD 2021:
Note: Release 2021 can read and write DWG files up to the latest version of this format (R2018). The same applies to DXF (Drawing eXchange Format) files, which store unencrypted drawing database contents.

Edit Spline.
Modifies the parameters and properties of Splines or converts spline-fit Polylines to Splines.

CBConvert.
Converts dynamic blocks from a DWG file into CustomBlocks.

DrawingCompare.
Displays the Drawing Compare palette which lets you visually compare two drawings and identify changes that occurred from one version of the drawing to another. HideDrawingCompare hides the palette.

Drawing History.
Displays the Version Manager palette. Lets you compare the current drawing with previously saved versions maintained by a supported Cloud Storage. HideDrawingHistory hides the palette.

BIMSection.
Creates section, elevation, and plan drawings from a BIM model.

BIM Annotation.
Annotates BIM elements in BIM drawings to provide detail information.

BIM Edit Annotation.
Lets you edit annotations that you created for BIM elements in a BIM drawing.

BIM Material Mapper.
Displays the Material Mapper palette which lets you map BIM material names to the material available in the BIM Drawings Materials Styles Library.

Drawing Sheet Sets
The Sheet Set Manager palette groups the functionalities for creating, organizing, and managing drawing sheets within a drawing sheet set.

Model Background Color.
Lets you specify the background color for the graphics area.

ToggleXPStyle.
Controls the appearance of Windows dialog boxes, such as Open and Save.

Import STLasMesh command.
Imports stereolithography files (STL) and inserts the contained geometry as subdivision mesh objects (SubDMeshes) into the drawing.

AppCast command.
Displays notifications about Service Packs and Updates for the application in a dialog box.

New Features:

Associative Patterns.
Entities within associative patterns retain their relationships. Associative patterns let you edit them in their entirety instead of changing the individual items in the pattern. The Pattern command has been extended to allow you to create associative linear, circular, and path patterns. The new Edit Pattern command lets you modify the shape and appearance of associative patterns. You can also edit associative patterns using specific EntityGrips and the Properties palette. Checking spelling as you type. Lets you check the spelling of text entities as you type, both for SimpleNotes and for Notes.

Modified Features and Commands:
Spline command enhancements. Splines can be defined either with fit points, or with control vertices. Accordingly, you can apply two corresponding methods. The implementation of the Control Vertices method lets specify control points, not fit points through which the Spline passes.

New options of the Spline command include:
Fit points method, Knots option. Determines the method used to fuse the curves between consecutive fit points within a Spline. Control vertices method, Degree option. Specifies the degree for subsequent Spline constructions. You can create Splines of degree 1 (linear), degree 2 (quadratic), degree 3 (cubic), and so on up to degree 10. Print dialog box redesigned. Additional options available on the main dialog box instead of a subdialog.
