Mainly we improved the stability of the Windows version in this Service Pack 2.1.

Graebert GmbH has released the latest version of its flagship CAD program: ARES Commander 2019.

The German software developer has a long history in the CAD industry as the first German distributor of AutoCAD. The company has been selling CAD systems since 1983.

In 1994, Graebert developed FelixCAD, which was later rebranded as PowerCAD. In 2005, the company replaced its existing CAD engine with an entirely new kernel and ARES was born. Although Graebert is second only to Autodesk in the number of seats of 2D software in professional use, most of its revenue comes from other vendors.

The company’s technology powers Dassault Systèmes’ DraftSight and is found in software from geographic information system goliath Esri. ARES Commander is also sold as CorelCAD, and Graebert’s CAD technology is embedded in Onshape’s cloud CAD platform. ARES Commander is positioned as a more affordable alternative to AutoCAD and uses DWG as the native file format. ARES Commander can now open drawings saved in AutoCAD’s 2018 DWG format, (or any earlier format back to R12).

ARES Commander will feel familiar to AutoCAD users. When starting the latest version, users see an interface nearly identical to AutoCAD, with a Quick Access Toolbar and ribbons across the top of the screen. Each open drawing appears in its own window, identified by a file tab across the top of the drawing area. The drawing file tabs let users switch between drawings or start a new drawing, and use tabs in the lower-left corner of the drawing window to switch between model space and multiple sheets—equivalent to paper space layouts in AutoCAD.

There is also a command window and status bar across the bottom of the screen and users start commands by typing, just like AutoCAD. Some commands have different names—such as PATTERN instead of ARRAY—but thanks to command shortcuts (like aliases in AutoCAD), it’s possible to type the AutoCAD command to start almost any ARES command. There is even a ribbon tab called XtraTools, which contains commands similar to those found on the AutoCAD Express Tools ribbon.

Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Berlin (Germany), Gräbert GmbH (aka Graebert)

is a family-owned company with activities in over 100 countries. Graebert is a multicultural company has three Research & Development Centers in Germany, Russia and India as well as fully-owned subsidiaries in Japan and India.

Graebert’s innovative approach is to combine CAD solutions for desktop, mobile and cloud into a single and all-inclusive ecosystem and subscription. The ARES “Trinity” of CAD Software for DWG-editing includes ARES Commander for Windows, macOS and Linux computers, ARES Touch for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets and ARES Kudo, a full browser-based solution for DWG-editing in the Cloud.
