NOTE: Different main versions of Trimble Drawing can be installed side-by-side, similar to other CAD products.

Trimble Drawing is based on a technology called ARES Commander, but is adapted to be used together with our own applications..
To understand what Trimble Drawing really is, and where the product comes from, it is easiest to look at ARES Commander. 

ARES Commander:

• is a product and technology that is 100% developed and owned by Graebert GHmB

• uses DWG as its file format

• has been on the market since 2010 - but the story goes back to 1995

• used by millions of users daily, both in the form of ARES Commander and via so-called Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) -based products, in line with Trimble Drawing

• is designed to work in the same way as AutoCAD and other similar CAD applications. Graebert has 100% ownership of the source code.

• has a competitive pricing model

Although Trimble Drawing is developed by Graebert, it is important to emphasize that we at Trimble are responsible for the CAD platform to you as users and customers. Since Trimble Drawing is based on Graebert's ARES Commander, you will, by searching online for how to use ARES Commander, find many useful tips and tricks that are also relevant to you who are new users of Trimble Drawing.
