Overall Satisfaction with CorelCAD
CorelCAD is not our primary CAD software, but it could be. It's a versatile alternative to AutoCAD LT and for most users a suitable replacement for AutoCAD. CorelCAD saves in AutoCAD .dwg or .dxf formats allowing convenient exchange with other companies. All-in-all, it's a powerful package for 2D and 3D drawing.
Why don't we use it as our primary package? Primarily because have thirty-plus years' worth of drawings in another format. When do we use CorelCAD? When interfacing with customers who use AutoCAD or other software that interchanges with AutoCAD. If we were starting from scratch, it would likely be our primary choice as a more economical alternative to AutoCAD with all the features most users will ever require.

AutoCAD compares favorably to TurboCAD at a comparable price point to its mid-line product. TurboCAD offers both higher level and lower level products that expand on the capabilities of CorelCAD, but for the majority of users, CorelCAD offers a good compromise of features to price point while maintaining a structure that will be familiar to AutoCAD users.
When compared with AutoCAD products, it aligns most closely with AutoCAD LT and compares favorably in terms of functions and features. AutoCAD has moved primarily to a subscription model which I personally do not like. With CorelCAD, buy it, own it, and upgrade when new features are needed.
