    GrabCad Workbench is well suited for group projects, where all my team members can view the designs at the same time, and by integrating it with CAD software like SolidWorks, all my team members can see the live changes in the projects based on the recommendations received. I can also do conversations with my team, which are project-specific, thus reducing time in email and video conferences. For assemblies, I can generate a Bill of materials with a single click. However, there are some drawbacks like every member needs to have an account in order to sync files with everyone, and the platform requires good internet connectivity otherwise file uploading will be time-consuming.

    Corel Corporation
    Compared to the big companies like solid works or Solid Edge for 3D modeling, it has most of the basic tools and it is easier to use. It has more tools than some of the smaller companies but still provides the versatility of large brand-name software. CorelCAD offers an attractive alternative for those on a tight budget.

    • CorelCAD easily pays for itself even when not a primary product.
    • Due to its similarity to AutoCAD, it's a reasonable solution with a shortened learning curve for existing AutoCAD users.

    • GrabCad Workbench is the best in terms of integration with other CAD software like SolidWorks where live changes can be made to a product.
    • GrabCad Workbench has a common parts library, which allows us to use repetitive parts without redesigning them again and again. Hence saving a lot of time.
    • I can do all the conversations in the file itself, reducing time in email and other modes.
    • It automatically generates BOM for my assembly files.
    • It tracks versions, all the files are updated automatically for all members once a new version is created.
    • It would be good if it can be updated to read drawing and sketch files.
    • The team needs to improve the stability of the platform.
