CorelDRAW Technical Suite X7
Technical communication
Expert design and technical communication
CorelDRAW® Technical Suite X7 provides a complete solution for technical communication professionals, featuring dedicated technical illustration tools, leading file compatibility, and publishing capabilities for print, online and mobile. Create projects quickly by accessing and repurposing technical designs assets from various locations and sources, including 3D designs and the optional add-on for 3D CAD assembly formats*. Exchange files with colleagues and clients with export capabilities to a broad range of over 100 file formats, including WebCGM, .SVG, .DWG, 3D PDF, .EPS and TIFF.
What's Included
System Requirement
Expert technical illustration and design
Precise technical illustration
Create detailed illustrations and designs with confidence using dedicated technical illustration tools, graphic design and layout features, and professional image editing. Deliver high-quality, technical communication projects, including sophisticated documentation, detailed assembly instructions, user and maintenance manuals, and more.
Leverage technical assets in your drawings and illustrations
Access your critical data from various sources, including 3D designs and the optional add-on for exclusive 3D CAD assembly formats. Ensure all of your important technical files can be delivered in a readable format. With 3D visualization efficiencies, you can insert 3D models as linked or embedded objects into any technical illustration for instant access, sharing and reference.
Unmatched publishing options for illustrations in your technical communication
Export to a broad range of over 100 file formats, including WebCGM, .SVG, .DWG, .PDF, .EPS and TIFF, to easily exchange files with colleagues and clients worldwide. Publish your document as a 3D PDF or Lattice3D file format for instant sharing and publishing via online and mobile.
Advanced standards compliance
Share your technical designs and documentation with a diverse set of cross-media publishing and distribution capabilities. Create technical illustrations with localized text for global technical publication with XLIFF support and publish S1000D compliant IETMs. Deliver 3D technical communication projects that feature 3D PDF and ISO standard PDF/A support.
Features
Projected drawing modes
Create isometric or other parallel projected illustrations for assembly and maintenance instructions by dynamically drawing on a projected plane. Project your existing planar objects to a desired plane instead of manually calculating the skew angle and rotation.
Advanced dimension tools
Eliminate the need to draw and project dimension objects in multiple steps thanks to the advanced dimension tools. Display precise measurement values in build plans and more, including radial and diameter dimensioning. Plus, with projected dimension options, your projected drawings can be quickly documented with precise and dynamic dimension lines and text.
3D PDF publishing
Publish to 3D PDF with interactive viewing of 3D content in combination with other visual and text elements. Export from Corel DESIGNER® to 3D PDF to generate output with all pertinent data and graphics in one document for cross-media publishing. 3D PDF files can be viewed with free PDF reader applications that are installed on almost any desktop or laptop computer.
3D import and visualization tools
Add context to your technical projects by using 3D views and models in your illustrations. With the integrated Lattice3D Studio, you can create high-quality renderings from 3D views imported from DWG, 3DS, VRML and XVL files, or use the unique Insert 3D functionality to embed 3D models as editable 3D elements with a high-resolution preview.
Easy access to design assets
Instantly find images on your local network and search online portals and websites, and easily access content using built-in content assistant Corel® CONNECT™. Organize assets by type or project in trays that are shared between Corel DESIGNER, CorelDRAW®, Corel PHOTO-PAINT® and Corel CONNECT for maximum efficiency. Utilize the Content Exchange and the tray synchronization option with Microsoft OneDrive.
Control over Object Styles and symbols
Ensure consistent styles, including externally referenced symbols, and layout throughout your design projects. With the enhanced Object Styles in Corel DESIGNER X7 and CorelDRAW X7, you can manage object styles, such as outline color, line style, line width, fill type and color, and text styles. You can then create symbol libraries that can be accessed and used across projects. Reuse the style definitions that you create once and apply to the individual components in the custom symbols.
Easy color harmony editing
The enhanced Color Styles docker makes it easier than ever to view, arrange, and edit color styles and harmonies. You can now specify the brightness value, and preserve saturation and hue while adjusting a color. New harmony rules let you snap all colors in a color harmony to a rule-based system, so you can modify those colors while preserving the color harmony.
Technical publication standards support
Keep up with current industry requirements with the ability to publish to a variety of industry-standard file formats, including WebCGM (with S1000D profile support) for Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM), Illustrated Parts Catalogs (IPC) creation, and PDF support, including ISO standard PDF/A and 3D PDF.
Compatibility with latest file formats
Choose from more than 100 up-to-date vector graphics, bitmap image, document and other data file formats supported for import and export capabilities. Exchanging files is hassle free, thanks to expanded file formats support including .SVG, .CGM, .DWG and .DXF, .PDF, TIFF and Adobe CS/CC (AI, PSD).
