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 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.
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.
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.
