Anthony Frausto-Robledo on ARES 2027 in Architosh: AI, Automation, and BIM-to-DWG Workflows

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 integration, and the growing capabilities of ARES Kudo Professional. As Anthony concludes, “ARES 2027 demonstrates how a focused [Autodesk] competitor can move quickly, differentiate boldly, and continue expanding what native DWG CAD can become.”
