CorelDRAW Technical Suite 2018 Overview
 
CorelDRAW Technical Suite builds on the power of three exceptional graphics applications – Corel DESIGNER, CorelDRAW, and PHOTO-PAINT – to give technical illustrators everything they need to create high-quality designs and achieve exceptional results fast. This powerful suite supports the technical standards you require while delivering the compatibility, flexibility, and power needed to create consistent and precise visuals – from manuals and assembly instructions to technical marketing.
 
Ideal for customers working in the engineering, architecture, and manufacturing industries, including aerospace and high tech, CorelDRAW Technical Suite 2018 accelerates the technical illustration workflow:
 
Powerful tools for design precision 
Achieve unsurpassed productivity with new design and authoring capabilities. Save time with the Symmetry drawing mode to create a range of symmetrical designs, from simple objects to complex mechanical pieces, in real time. Align and distribute nodes using the bounding box of a selection, the page edge or center, the closest grid line, or a specified point. Gain greater control over the appearance of corners in objects, text, and symbols that use dashed lines.
 
Advanced translation workflow support
Produce illustrations that contain descriptive text, then output directly to the Translation Memory System (TMS) for use in multi-lingual technical publications for global audiences. Format text spanning multiple columns and use Corel DESIGNER® 2018 to author complete user manuals or documents. Then send the source language document for translation and receive translations to create localized documents with one click.
 
Intuitive photo-editing
Get impressive results with the powerful photo-editing capabilities of PHOTO-PAINT® 2018, including the new interactive straighten and intuitive perspective adjustment features. With professional editing tools, ensure the images used in technical documentation are precise and legible at any resolution. With the addition of AfterShot™ 3 HDR, make corrections and enhancements to RAW or JPEG photos.
 
Updated industry-leading file compatibility
Take advantage of full support for technical publication standards, import the latest versions of DWG CAD files, and work with more than 100 additional data file formats to publish, share, and output technical documents. Cross-media publishing and distribution capabilities, including CGM, WebCGM (incl. S1000D 4.2), SVG, and PDF (incl. 3D PDF), ensure important technical files will be delivered in the required format.
 
Accelerated performance
Take advantage of the many time-saving improvements that make technical authoring and drawing more efficient. Get to work faster with an accelerated product launch time and boost productivity with faster rendering of tool previews; curve previews, nodes, and handles; and more. Now, open large files more quickly and enjoy smoother editing when working with complex curves.
 
More productive 3D visualization with XVL Studio Corel Edition
Add context to technical projects using 3D views and models. Included in the suite, new XVL Studio Corel Edition can be used to create high-quality renderings from 3D views imported from DWG, 3DS, or IGES 3D model files. Easily transform 3D views into vector illustrations with the enhanced Send to Corel DESIGNER feature. Plus, choose the XVL Studio 3D CAD add-on option to get animation tools and work with 3D CAD Engineering files.
