Graebert Japan LLC (Headquarters: Tokyo, Representative: Yoji Ebata), provider of the "ARES" series, which boasts the world's number one share as a DWG-compatible CAD, released "ARES 2027," the latest version of ARES, on Thursday, April 2, 2026.
ARES 2027 is the latest version that realizes AI-powered operational assistance as its core, strengthens BIM workflows, and expands the functions of the cloud-based online CAD, ARES Kudo. It provides an environment that allows each process of design, drafting, and collaborative work to proceed more efficiently and intuitively.
Furthermore, ARES's unique information sharing function, which is popular and not found in other CAD products, has also been strengthened. In large-scale projects spanning multiple companies, and in CAD-based collaboration (corporate partnership), it has evolved into an even easier-to-use workflow.
In addition to streamlining simple tasks in conventional CAD operations, it strengthens automation through batch processing and scheduling, elevating routine tasks to the next stage. ARES 2027 envisions a future where CAD transforms from a "tool for drawing" to a "foundation for optimally managing business workflows."
**[Main New Features of ARES 2027]**
**AI: Streamline CAD operations with natural language assistance and command suggestions**
ARES's AI assistant, A3 (Ace Three), is optimized for CAD users based on OpenAI's technology. In ARES 2027, operations such as "creating/editing layers," "rotating," and "hatching" can now simultaneously execute entity selection and editing with the same prompt.
In addition, it is equipped with an AI-powered command suggestion function, which, combined with integrated entity selection and editing operations, improves work efficiency and productivity.
**BIM: Enhanced Revit integration with multi-discipline support**
ARES Commander 2027 supports multi-discipline BIM, which can handle multiple fields such as architecture, structure, and MEP integrally. It enables more practical drawing creation while integrating models from multiple fields and reducing redundant work.
In addition, it also supports the Revit 2026 file format, allowing DWG files generated from the latest RVT files to be updated while linked to BIM projects.
**Cloud: Share drawings with team members in a secure environment**
Cloud-based online CAD, ARES Kudo, enables secure drawing sharing and smooth collaboration with multiple members without downloading drawings.
