CorelDRAW Technical Suite 2017

Design tools

Improve your technical communication capabilities with a large collection of powerful and dedicated illustration tools. First, explore the many possibilities with objects, such as the hide and display feature, or the ability to split vector objects, text and bitmaps. Next, Corel DESIGNER 2017 can simplify complex shapes with enhanced node selection, copy curve segments and provide a choice of node sizes and shapes. And finally, Corel DESIGNER 2017 and CorelDRAW 2017 allow you to create more realistic drop shadows with natural-looking feathered edges.

Redesigned customizable user interface

Match your desktop environment to the way you work best. CorelDRAW Technical Suite 2017 offers more UI customization options than ever before, allowing you to tailor your design space with a unique look. Enjoy flexible desktop color scheme options, alter the color of the area surrounding the drawing page, and even customize the color of your window borders. Another highly anticipated new feature is the ability to import X6 and X7 workspaces into Corel DESIGNER, CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT 2017 so you can continue working right where you left off.

Precise illustration tools

Add greater levels of detail to your technical illustrations with projected shape tools, including Thread, Well, Cylinder and Prism tools. Quickly and easily draw thread and well shapes in projected space for the creation of bolts, nuts and more.

Precision layout and drawing tools

Capture your intended drawing shape with exactness using the Outline Position options that recognize line width measurements for object dimensions. Use the Alignment Guides so all elements of your technical illustration are intuitively placed in their intended positions with precision. Speed up the creation of all kinds of technical graphics with the Parallel Drawing mode in Corel DESIGNER 2017.

Compatibility with the latest file formats

Work and share with confidence using enhanced support for technical publication standards, including WebCGM, S1000D, ATA iSpec 2200, SVG and PDF. The redesigned and enhanced CGM export dialog will capture additional CGM export settings, providing advanced support for industry-standard CGM profiles.
