CorelCAD 2015 Education Edition (Old Version)

I am attempting to learn new skills and this seems to be a nice package in which to begin. Sometimes in software like this it is helpful to find an "interpreter" to bridge the gap between the developer of the software, the writer of the manual and the end-user. Some of the features are straight forward and then there are situations where I need to produce a specific curve and it can be frustrating. I believe the software can accomplish the task. I have not developed the skill to do so at this time.

I bought this program after having used another cad program for the past 26 years, and come to find out from CorelDraw, that you can not register 2015 if you are using & running Windows 10, but you can buy CorelCad 2016 $699.00 if you wish to be able to use in windows 10.This was a bummer to me, as nowhere did I ever see this restriction, you can run the program in trial view, but you can't save, so what is the use.

I never got to try it because it doesn't support 4K monitors, which I have. I couldn't even get it to display the registration dialog properly, so all I got was an unregistered test copy, with an unusable interface because the text is too small and icons so tiny as to be unreadable unless magnified 250%. Corel support apologized and explained that registration wouldn't even be possible unless I lowered my system resolution. This is ludicrous in a CAD program, where higher resolutions are desirable. It is also undocumented. It took me three weeks of emails with progressively escalating levels of Corel support to figure out that CorelCAD 2015 can't be installed on my system.

The program provides all of the functionality I need without the bells and whistles. It seamlessly opened my Autocad files.

Corel's activation process is BAD! seller was great.

Poor program

as described very easy to use and understand

As expected great Bill

The perfect option for someone new to CAD without the cost of the commercial package
