BIM has transformed the way AEC teams design, but the documentation process still lags behind. As Niknaz Aftahi puts it, “BIM is smarter than ever. So why are we still doing so much manually?” Despite highly intelligent models, teams continue to spend a disproportionate amount of time on producing drawings—often up to “30 to 40% of a project’s total time.” This disconnect highlights a persistent gap between design intelligence and deliverable output.
Architosh periodically publishes Deep Dives: in-depth product reviews examining CAD, BIM, and 3D technologies. In the newest one, “ARES 2027 Deep Dive: AI, Automation and BIM-to-DWG Workflows,” Architosh’s Anthony Frausto-Robledo explores how ARES 2027 is expanding what DWG-based CAD can become in an AI-accelerated, cloud-connected era. As he writes, “The larger story in this release is AI,” with the ARES AI Assist feature, known as A3, evolving from a help assistant into “an active participant in the CAD workflow.” Anthony also highlights the strength of Graebert’s Trinity strategy, noting that ARES delivers a unified “One CAD” experience across desktop, web, and mobile — including Windows, macOS, Linux, browsers, tablets, and smartphones. This consistency helps teams keep working in all locations, and across all kinds of devices, while staying connected to the same DWG workflows. Beyond AI, the article takes a closer look at online Drawings Automation, BIM-to-DWG improvements, Autodesk Forma
Graebert has officially launched ARES 2027, and this year’s release makes one thing very clear: the company is going all-in on AI and cloud-connected workflows.
Known for his candid CAD coverage since 1985, the editor of WorldCAD Access has built a reputation for telling readers what they need to know — whether vendors like it or not. Ralph Grabowski never set out to be a CAD journalist. Trained as a transportation engineer, a sudden layoff shifted his path, leading him to become the Technical Editor of Cadalyst, the first independent magazine for CAD software and hardware.
Anthony Frausto-Robledo, AIA, delivered a keynote presentation at Graebert neXt event, highlighting the advancements in ARES Kudo, Graebert’s cloud-based CAD solution for creating, viewing, and editing DWG files online.
Discover how ARES Commander 2025 revolutionizes BIM–CAD workflows for AEC professionals. With time-saving BIM drawings automation, ARES Commander generates smart DWG drawings from Revit or IFC BIM projects, simplifying BIM documentation and streamlining 3D-to-2D workflows.
Discover how CAD vendor Graebert revolutionized the industry in 2022 with their groundbreaking compatibility for special objects. Several 2D CAD products fully support the basic AutoCAD DWG format. However, only Graebert provides a solution compatible with these mechanical custom entities. Graebert prefers the term “mechanical entities.”
Following a partnership model similar to PTC’s Onshape, Snaptrude and Graebert see potential in each other. “I think the integration to construction drawings is going to be really exciting,” he adds, “and will take shape towards early next year.”
Alludo is encouraging CorelCAD users to explore an alternative ARES CAD software solution for ongoing support and new releases.” The release notes ARES is “powered by the same engine as CorelCAD…
…CorelCAD itself is a licensed and customized version of Graebert’s DWG-native CAD software platform, ARES. The product is fundamentally identical to ARES except for file integration with CorelDRAW, which enabled large manufacturing organizations with extensive utilization of CorelDRAW Technical Suite to dovetail CorelCAD into their workflows and thus easily move native DWG CAD data into CorelDRAW…’
