“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,” said Klaus Vossen, Sr. Product Manager, CorelDRAW. “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
