the toolkit for DWG, DGN & DXF file support
Robert Gräbert PhD CTO of Gräbert GmbH
Ecosystem leveraging modern cloud and mobile technologies to improve collaboration, it includes the following products
ARES Commander
2D & 3D CAD Software for DWG editing running on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers. This version also is the one offering an easy switch for CAD users familiar with AutoCAD or similar programs.
ARES Kudo
Cloud version, that allows you to create and edit DWG files directly in your internet browser. Nothing to install, nothing to update, it runs directly in your Internet browser.
ARES Touch
A mobile CAD App for DWG on iOS and Android. It is the only solution offering a full set of 2D CAD features for DWG on smartphones and tablets.
All three products are also available as CAD Development platforms to develop dwg-based industry specific solutions for desktop, cloud and mobile. The ARES CAD platforms combine the ODA's reknown libraries with Graebert's 2D and 3D CAD features. Supported programming languages include ODA's C++ Tx, as well as .NET, Lisp and ARX among other options.
The true advantage of the Trinity concept is that it uses Cloud and Mobile technology to improve collaboration. This concept extends the design team to include technical colleagues, managers, and collaborators. In addition to synchronizing files among all users, it ensures the continuity of your work across all your devices.
The Trinity features are also seamlessly integrated into ARES Commander, combining the benefits of a DWG-based desktop CAD solution comparable to AutoCAD with advanced cloud-based technologies to enhance collaboration.
As an example of collaboration capabilities, Comments and Markups represent a collaboration thread that does not modify the drawing.
Comments can be linked to selected entities to provide context, or you can make comments without linking entities. Comments and markups can be answered and marked as resolved. If you don’t feel like writing a long text, you can record your voice and insert it as a Voice Recording markup. Similarly, you can use Picture markups to share photos or other images and link them to a specific area of your project. Finally, stamps can be used for markups with ready-made texts like “FOR REVIEW,” and you can create your own custom stamps.

Data integration platform, FME
Validating the accuracy, clarity, and correctness of CAD files is necessary to mitigate any project defects and ensure that standards are met throughout the project. By using ODA libraries, FME reads in all the data contained in CAD files submitted by the engineers and architects who produce them. This data can then be automatically checked to ensure it meets the standards unique to the organization that is receiving the data.
ODA libraries are used for data extraction and validation of the values of parameters and element geometry for correctness.
The list of potential things to check is as varied as the data itself, but some of the things our users look for include:
- Parcel boundaries forming closed shapes.
- All required parameters per the standard having a value set.
- Parcels and boundaries having correct areas compared to what is reported in parameter values.
- Georeferencing points being present and correct.
Another aspect is validating metadata about the files themselves, these can include:
- The size of drawings matching the standard for displaying purposes.
- Uniform fonts and colors used throughout the drawing.
- The drawing scale matching the rest of the drawings in the project.
