CorelCAD vs. NX CAD

CAD software with 2D drawing and 3D design tools. Enhance your engineering and architecture designs with drawing constraints, text editing, and interactive design tools. Collaborating with colleagues and vendors is easy DWG files. It runs on both Windows and Mac OS which makes it versatile and at a much lower price than other CAD software.

NX CAD is very good when it comes to three dimensional modelling and rendering and visualization. Furthermore, the export to jt function together with import into other Siemens software packages, such as Teamcenter, is a major reason why I am using NX. However, it can be a little more computationally expensive compare to other CAD packages.

• 2D and 3D mechanical drawings
• Interchange with AutoCAD users and other CAD users.
• Publish technical data sheets and drawings.
• Creating PDF documents

Incentivized

• Seamless interaction across multiple departments.
• The software allows you to create a very high level of control and organization within your engineering staff. This reduces the companies mistakes and maximizes productivity.
• The software makes it very easy to track your product through every phase of the production cycle.

Incentivized

• Movement for 3D designs.
• Some tools could be easier to access.

Incentivized

• Keeping the colors of surfaces if volume bodies are linked
• Show and keep symbolic threads
• For me, I miss more information why a surface can't be deleted or a radius is not possible. And maybe a solution, how could it look like, if NX CAD adds a new surface.

Siemens NX CAD has been has been simple in design & user interface. It is best among the competitors. It can develop heavy models & designs with very ease. It has Layers options for arranging multiple assemblies in the same file. It does not require heavy system investment & works fine on professional PCs

Corel's support has always been outstanding. Technical support is always available to assist with installation and licensing issues and there is generally additional free assistance for a time period after purchase. Corel also offers online tutorials and other self-help resources. Ongoing and available support is one of the outstanding features Corel has always provided.

NX CAD version is going out of support after only 12 months. Changes will not be implemented after 12 months from prodcution

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.

The only reason why NX was chosen was due to the process management, and revision control that's built-in. And being able to limit access to files and if they can be modified.

• 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.

Incentivized

• The software itself is pretty expensive compared to other CAD-systems.
• Implementation is not out of the box, it requires a lot of consulting and iteration cycles.
• On the positive side is to mention the seamless of downstream functionalities, from product development to manufacturing and visualization, etc.
