Graebert has released a new version of its desktop CAD software solution: ARES Commander 2027. A full-featured, DWG-native application for creating and modifying CAD files in 2D and 3D, ARES Commander is the No. 1 alternative to AutoCAD.
PDF is a widely versatile file format, and one often used when sharing CAD drawings. However, the amount of information in a PDF file is far less than that of a DWG file, which contains the necessary data for design.
Robert Graebert, CTO at Graebert GmbH, gave a presentation on the subject titled, “Autodrawings — Fast, Cloud-Ready DWG Production for BIM.” His presentation discussed the automation capabilities that are already available in Graebert’s own ARES Commander and ARES Kudo, and have also been integrated into other developer’s products, including Snaptrude, DraftSight Premium, and Qonic.
Can artificial intelligence (AI) create CAD drawings? With the rapid evolution of AI services — reportedly appearing by the hundreds each month in 2025 — there’s growing interest in how AI can be applied to CAD drawing creation.
Learn how to share DWG-format CAD drawings easily and efficiently by using view-only links. Avoid the hassles of email attachments, prevent version confusion, and collaborate in real time.
AI can’t solve all of our problems — not yet, anyway — but it can offer a helping hand throughout the workday. Graebert invites new and experienced users to explore the capabilities of its CAD-savvy AI assistant in ARES Commander 2025 — and now, in the cloud version ARES Kudo as well.
Graebert’s Automation technology, which was first launched in ARES Commander, has now been extended to ARES Kudo — seamlessly integrating online CAD and automatic task execution for the first time.
In April, CAD software developer Graebert held its annual neXt event, welcoming users of its ARES products and of other CAD software applications, such as AutoCAD. Graebert neXt is an exploration of how the latest technology trends for CAD in DWG — including AI, cloud-based collaboration, online CAD, and Drawings Automation — are transforming workflows across AEC and manufacturing.
Graebert has launched ARES Commander 2026, the newest version of the No. 1 alternative to AutoCAD. Here, we’ll share some highlights from the many new features in ARES Commander, as well as ARES Kudo and ARES Touch.
ARES Kudo brings full-featured 2D drafting and editing to your web browser, so you can access and work on your DWG files without installing any software. As part of the ARES Trinity of CAD software, ARES Kudo seamlessly integrates with ARES Commander (for desktop computers) and ARES Touch (for mobile devices), enabling professionals to work anywhere, on any type of device. Watch the video below to see how ARES Kudo can transform your workflows.
