Benefits of ARES ARES Commander is designed to be compatible with all of existing DWG and DXF files. The program has its own command structure, yet uses aliases to be compatible with many of the commands and variables found in other CAD programs like AutoCAD and IntelliCAD. The user interface with its ribbon, palettes, and command bar will probably look immediately familiar to you. The program has all the standard 2D drawing and editing commands, like Line and Trim, as well as advanced functions like associative dimensioning and annotative scaling. The program creates and modifies 3D ACIS-based solid drawing objects, and can apply geometric and dimensional constraints on and between entities. Graebert used its three decades of experience in the CAD business to build the program from scratch, employing the most current computer programming technology. The program offers you a number of significant benefits. Impressive Compatibility The program uses DWG

THE IFC Format
- 27/03/2018
- Posted by: Graebert
- Category: General News
BIM software defines 3D models by proprietary methods; it is internal to the software and so is not seen by users. Third-party developers can access it through APIs (application programming interfaces). The official way to access data in BIM software is to export the model in IFC format. The following article is an abstract of the eBook ‘Best CAD Practices’ by Ralph Grabowski. Graebert is happy to share with you some of the experience accumulated by Ralph as a CAD expert and as compiled in his eBook for which the reference can be found at the bottom of the page. Feel free to share feedback in the comment section below. The IFC format is continually updated, and the version level current at the time of writing is 4, although many programs still operate with v2x3, because v4 is not backward compatible with v2x3. No point moving ahead when you can’t go
