Learn more about ARES for developers
ARES® Commander has opened for us the access to treat native DWG’s at the highest level.
Graebert has a support staff that is capable of making the link between our software macros and ARES® Commander seamless. Their support has been a great asset to our company and the quick response to problems that have come up is truly hard to live without.
ARES® Commander provides us with the best tools available on the market for the best price point solution for our customers. The ARES Commander engine has become one of the premiere CAD products on the market today.
We used ARES® Commander to power our OEM solution because we had a previous development on AutoCAD®. We needed to stay compatible, and have a strong development platform. Our electrical CAD software QC runs better than ever on the ARES Commander OEM engine. Graebert’s technology is an outstanding CAD-engine for those who need an alternative that reads and writes DWG files natively.
