ARES 2027 Released: AI Takes CAD Operations to the Next Stage. Significant Evolution in BIM and Cloud Functions

Graebert Japan G.K. (Headquarters: Tokyo; Representative: Yoji Ebata), which provides the "ARES" series, boasting 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-centric operational assistance, strengthened BIM workflows, and expanded functionalities for the cloud-based online CAD, ARES Kudo. It provides an environment that allows design, drafting, and collaborative work processes 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 enhanced. It has evolved into an even more user-friendly workflow for CAD-based collaboration (corporate partnership) in large-scale projects involving multiple companies.

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 is not just a "tool for drawing plans" but a "foundation for optimally managing business workflows."

【Main New Features of ARES 2027】

AI: Streamline CAD work with natural language operation 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.

Furthermore, it is equipped with an AI-powered command suggestion function, which, combined with integrated entity selection and editing, improves work efficiency and productivity.

BIM: Enhanced Revit integration with multi-discipline support

ARES Commander 2027 supports multi-discipline BIM, allowing for integrated handling of multiple fields such as architecture, structure, and MEP. It enables more practical drawing creation by integrating models from various fields and reducing redundant work.

In addition, it now 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

ARES Kudo, the cloud-based online CAD, enables secure drawing sharing and smooth collaboration with multiple members without downloading drawings.

Moreover, ARES 2027 implements drawing operation insights. In situations where multiple members access drawings, such as large-scale projects, detailed history is recorded per file, making it possible to understand how drawings were accessed and modified.

It also now supports print styles (.ctb, .stb) created in AutoCAD and ARES Commander.
