Corel Designer Technical Suite

In detail
Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite 12 is a comprehensive and complete technical graphics suite, offering one of the most competitive price/performance ratios in the industry today. Designed to meet the needs of value conscious customers in the technical graphics segment, no other technical graphics suite available today can match its breadth of high-end benefits and functionality at an affordable price. Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite 12 meets the immediate and long-term needs of organizations who need to create technical documents faster and with greater precision, while reducing their overall cost of ownership.

The complete technical graphics solution
In one complete package, Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite 12 provides powerful applications and compelling new features that enhance the design experience. Corel DESIGNER 12 offers the new projected drawing modes which dramatically speed the design process. The new suite also includes Corel PHOTO-PAINT 12 — a complete image-editing application for retouching and enhancing photos.

To help repurpose legacy drawings, the suite includes CorelTRACE 12, a bitmap-to-vector tracing utility that converts scanned or manually created bitmaps into editable vector images. Corel CAPTURE 12, an advanced screen capture utility, is also included to help capture images. Rounding out the suite is Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications, which provides application customization and extensibility for both Corel DESIGNER and Corel PHOTO-PAINT.

Precision, flexibility, and ease of use
The outstanding features of Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite 12 were developed specifically for the workflow of the technical illustrator, with many additional creative features, and exceptional ease of use. The new projected drawing modes dramatically increase productivity by letting the technical illustrator actively draw on the projected plane, which eliminates the need to draw the object first and then project it in a second step. The Callout tools provide numerous options for identifying objects in a drawing. Technical illustrators can choose from several text styles and a variety of line segment endings, including arrowheads and other symbols.

Precision is paramount in technical illustration. Accurate placement of objects on the drawing page and in relation to other objects is imperative. To that end, Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite 12 provides an array of tools and features that ensure precision. For example, features such as gravity snapping and dynamic guides help technical illustrators draw and place objects accurately, reducing creation time.

To facilitate collaboration, Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite supports more than 75 file formats, including DXF, DWG, SVG, CGM, CDR, PDF, PSD, TIFF, AI, EPS, DOC, and XLS. The import and export options ensure that technical illustrators can share their work and repurpose legacy designs. The suite provides flexibility in the form of creative tools and extensive text formatting capabilities. Moreover, Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite 12 includes Corel PHOTO-PAINT for editing photos. It also includes content specific to technical illustration, such as hatch fills, vector fills, raster fills, more than 4,000 industry-standard symbols, Clipart, linear patterns, and more.
