This new suite gives businesses the features they need to tackle any project, on time and on budget."
CorelDRAW Technical Suite 2017 offers a collection of new capabilities to speed and simplify the technical communications workflow:
- Enhanced isometric drawing tools: Create isometric or other parallel projected technical illustrations for assembly and maintenance instructions by dynamically drawing on a projected plane. Obtain greater precision and exactness with UI controls.
- Enhanced boundary tools: Now it is easy to extend curves to create closed shapes from imported drawings - ideal for correcting errors originating from legacy CAD files that are missing the required accuracy.
- Enhanced 3-D import and visualization tools: Add context to technical projects by using 3-D views and models in technical illustrations. With the integrated Lattice3D Studio Corel Edition 2017, create high-quality renderings from 3-D views imported from DWG, 3DS and now IGES. Then easily transform these 3-D views into vector illustrations using the built-in Send to Corel DESIGNER or the new Send to CorelDRAW feature.
- Enhanced Translation Memory System (TMS) support: Enhanced XLIFF export and import make it easier and more cost-effective to create technical graphics with descriptive text in multiple languages.
- New customizable user interface: Enjoy flexible desktop color scheme options, alter the color of the area surrounding the drawing page and even customize the color of window borders. Plus, import legacy workspaces from Corel DESIGNER (X6 and X7), as well as CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT (X6, X7 and X8).
- New and enhanced file format and compatibility: Work and share with confidence using enhanced support for technical publication standards and formats, including WebCGM, S1000D, ATA iSpec 2200, SVG and PDF, Adobe CS/CC and more.
CorelDRAW Technical Suite 2017 also includes new graphic design capabilities and support for the latest hardware and devices, based on the power of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2017:
- New and enhanced design tools: Improve technical graphics with a large collection of dedicated illustration tools. Explore the many possibilities with objects, such as the hide and display feature, or the ability to split vector objects, text and bitmaps. Take advantage of enhanced node selection, copy curve segments and a choice of node sizes and shapes.
- New high-DPI display and multi-monitor support: Author technical communication projects on high-definition monitors, including Ultra HD 5K.
- New pen support and touch workspace: Improves user's drawing capabilities with new device and tool options, including support for advanced stylus and touch-enabled devices like Microsoft Surface and Wacom tablets, as well as the Microsoft Surface dial. Take advantage of a new tablet mode to sketch and annotate on the fly and make quick adjustments using touch or a stylus.
- Enhanced professional image-editing power: Ensure the photos included in any documentation have the professional look desired. Use the advanced Straighten Image to correct perspective distortions with a few simple clicks. Discreetly remove unwanted spots and imperfections from any image with the Healing Clone tool. Eliminate unwanted areas with Smart Carver and obscure parts of images with Gaussian Blur.
- New LiveSketch tool: Transform the creativity of free form sketching into precise vector curves. Using the power of artificial intelligence, LiveSketch adjusts and combines hand-drawn strokes to existing vector curves, allowing the user to sketch and design on the fly. Offering an experience with the natural feel of pen and paper, LiveSketch eliminates the time-consuming task of sketching on paper, scanning and tracing to vector.
- New Corel font manager: Explore, handle and organize fonts to satisfy all typeface needs. Browse and search for fonts, preview font glyph sets, create font collections and more.
