Precise design and illustration tools

  • Axonometric drawing tools

    Create isometric or other parallel projected technical illustrations for assembly and maintenance instructions by dynamically drawing on a projected plane. Project your existing planar objects to a desired plane in lieu of manual calculations.
    Watch video

  • Advanced dimension tools

    Eliminate the need to draw and project dimension objects in multiple steps thanks to the dimension tools. Display precise measurement values in building plans and more. Add context with projected arrows in dimensions and leader lines.

Precision layout

  • Streamlined callout creation

    Track essential design details and have Callouts dynamically update and change when based on object metadata. Connect or "stick" to source objects as they are modified with Sticky callouts. New Legless Callouts are perfect to add when a callout doesn’t need a leader line.

  • Drawing scale control

    Create illustrations and diagrams to scale with the drawing scale control. View the active drawing scale, switch to another preset, or set a custom scale. Corel DESIGNER retains the drawing scale when importing a vector illustration from a 3D model view so imported views are placed at scale.

3D CAD

  • OPTIONAL: 3D CAD repurposing capabilities

    Choose the XVL Studio 3D CAD add-on option to get animation tools and work with 3D CAD Engineering files. XVL Studio 3D CAD Corel Edition adds native 3D CAD file format support to ensure support for assemblies and parts from 3D CAD systems. Learn more

Object Styles

  • Hotspot capabilities

    Add interactive functions to callout shapes in technical publications with the callout drawing tool in Corel DESIGNER. Draw and attach callouts to nested groups by automatically applying hotspots and object information on callouts, saving you time.
    Watch video

  • Object Styles and presets

    Ensure a consistent look, style, and layout throughout your design projects with Object Styles, Color Styles and Color Harmonies. Explore preloaded Style Sets that follow S1000D technical illustration standards, complete with quick keys for a faster workflow.

Equation Editor

  • Equation Editor

    Mathematical and scientific formulas can be inserted and displayed in the drawing, and then modified as needed. Existing equations from older CorelDRAW documents can be opened or imported for use in Corel DESIGNER equations.
    Watch video

  • Straighten and adjust photos interactively

    Rotate crooked images by interactively aligning a straightening bar to an element in the photo or specifying an angle of rotation. Use the interactive Perspective Correction tool to adjust the perspective of buildings, landmarks, or objects in photos.

  • Wrap objects around cylinders

    The new Wrap feature makes it quick and easy to precisely wrap an object around a cylinder or ellipse, like adding a label to a bottle.
