“We are not forcing anybody into subscription,” said Vossen, noting that the newest release of CorelCAD still allows users to choose from the purchase of new perpetual licenses, maintenance of existing perpetual licenses, and subscription (rental) of the software as desired. Giving users those kinds of options is a customer-pleasing approach employed by many CAD developers, but Corel also extends the strategy to a more controversial area: licensing. When he spoke at Graebert’s Annual Meeting in October, Vossen stressed that point, discussing choice in areas such as the dark user interface (UI) option introduced in CorelCAD 2017: “It’s your choice as a user - you can switch dark to light, and everything in between.” The same is true for Graebert, the developer whose ARES CAD engine powers CorelCAD and other applications.
Providing customers with multiple options - in platforms, devices, or other aspects of the CAD experience - is more than a goal for Corel, it’s part of the company’s identity. CorelCAD is one of those rare applications offered for both platforms, and Corel is also looking to serve more of its Apple-based customer demographic by expanding its mobile CAD offering to iOS. “There aren’t that many vendors who really care about the Mac community,” said Klaus Vossen, senior product manager for technical graphics products at Corel. The CAD world is a Windows world, by and large there are relatively few applications available for Mac users.
