Features

Designed specifically to streamline the technical illustration workflow, Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite 12 delivers:

  1. Precision design tools
  2. Broad file compatibility that facilitates collaboration
  3. The ability to re-purpose old data and drawings

New! Projected Drawing Modes

The new drawing profiles dramatically increase productivity by letting technical illustrators actively draw on the projected plane, which eliminates the need to draw the object first and then project it in a second step. By projecting objects onto drawing planes, you can create the illusion of a 3D graphic.

Enhanced! Gravity Snapping

Snap the pointer to various points in objects to easily to create and position objects accurately.

Enhanced! Dynamic Guides

Dynamic Guides are temporary guidelines you can pull from the following snap points in objects: center, node, quadrant and text baseline. Helping to align, draw and move objects in precise relation to other objects, Dynamic Guides are fully customizable and give technical illustrators unprecedented speed and precision.

New! B-Spline Tool

Draw and edit B-splines by creating smooth, continuous curved lines that you form by setting control points to shape the curve without breaking it into segments.

New! Dimension Lines

Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite 12 introduces 3 new types of dimension lines: segment, radial and diameter.

New! Enhanced Line Styles

Enhanced line styles are especially useful for illustrating stitch patterns and drawing parallel lines.

New! Hatch Fills

Easily differentiate between materials and coinciding objects with Hatch fills. These fills are vector-based and projectable so you can use them with the new Projected Drawing mode. Use any of the pre-defined Hatch fills or create your own custom fills.

New! Fillet/Chamfer/Scallop

Use scallops, fillets and chamfers to create perfectly shaped corners every time.

Enhanced! Transformations Docker

You can now project and un-project objects with precision. Plus, take advantage of exact coordinates to project, move, rotate, flip and skew objects.

Enhanced! Eyedropper Tool

Quickly copy color, object properties, effects and transformations from one object to another to save time when creating designs.

New! Workspace Selector

Choose from pre-configured workspaces that resemble the look and feel of Adobe® Illustrator®, Micrografx Designer® 9 and Microsoft® Visio®. You can also create, save and share your own custom workspaces. For example, create workspaces that are specific to the review and design processes.

New! Dynamic Language Switching

Install multiple language packs to enable use of the application in more than one language. This is ideal for bilingual environments.

Enhanced! Unicode Support

Exchange files effortlessly by ensuring that text is displayed correctly, regardless of the language or operating system in which the file was created.

New! Double-byte Formatting

Quickly apply Asian fonts to Asian and Latin text simply by using the Property Bar.

New! Insert Formatting Codes Docker

Easily insert special characters and spaces, such as em dashes, en dashes and nonbreaking spaces.

New! Hotspotting — Object Data Manager

Manage a complex project by assigning data to its objects.

New! Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) Support

Import and export to files of CGM version 4 profiles, such as ACGM (ActiveCGM), WebCGM and GREX (ATA GREXCHANGE).

Enhanced! Corel DESIGNER (DSF) Support

Access content from files saved in Corel DESIGNER 9 and earlier versions to easily reuse, update or rework technical illustrations. Hatch fills and enhanced line styles are now preserved.

New! Export for Microsoft® Office or WordPerfect® Office

Optimize drawings for exporting to Microsoft Office or WordPerfect Office to easily create visually rich documents that are easy to share with colleagues and clients.

New! AutoCAD® Data Interchange Format (DXF) and AutoCAD® Drawing Database (DWG)

Minimize data loss with support for AutoCAD 2004.

Enhanced! Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

Choose a variety of new options when exporting a drawing to the SVG file format.

Enhanced! Adobe® Photoshop® (PSD)

Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite now supports duotone images and layer preservation.

New! Corel PHOTO-PAINT® 12 (PPT)

Take advantage of this complete photo-editing application that lets you retouch and enhance photos as well as create original graphics.
