In a world where details matter, CorelDRAW® Technical Suite 2020 connects the dots in all aspects of visual communication from project creation and authoring, to collaborative review and output.
Find a range of precise illustration and design tools to create detailed technical documentation with exact specifications.
Enjoy a seamless workflow from opening 2D and 3D source files, photos, documents and data, to producing, collaborating on, and publishing technical communications.
Count on this complete suite of professional applications for authoring technical documents, reviewing, and publishing detailed illustrations.
Create everything from precise technical illustrations with Corel DESIGNER to compelling marketing materials with CorelDRAW. Edit photos for documentation with Corel PHOTO-PAINT and add screenshots with CAPTURE. When you’re ready to share files for collaborative review and approval, use web-based CorelDRAW.app to streamline the stakeholder feedback process.
? Collaboration features eligibilityAccelerate your workflow with powerful, dedicated illustration and design tools that ensure accuracy for axonometric drawing, detailed callouts, advanced dimensioning, and so much more. Add detail to your technical illustrations with projected shape tools, including Thread, Well, Cylinder and Prism tools.
Ensure compliance with various standards-based systems, thanks to comprehensive support for technical publication standards. Reach a worldwide audience with Translation Memory System (TMS) support, publish S1000D (incl. Issue 5.0) or ATA iSpec 2200 compliant IETPs, and deliver technical communication projects that feature 3D PDF and PDF/A support.
Reuse 3D models with the integrated XVL Studio Corel Edition, and the optional XVL Studio 3D CAD Corel Edition add-on for advanced 3D CAD assembly formats. With 3D visualization efficiencies, you can insert 3D models as linked or embedded objects into Corel DESIGNER files for instant access, sharing and reference.
From manufacturing and engineering to architecture and high tech, we’ve got you covered with timesaving new illustration features and game-changing tools to help reach new levels of productivity
New game-changing collaboration tools enable you to connect with clients and colleagues on technical designs like never before.
Boost your productivity when it comes to working with lines, halos, and styles.
Enjoy a number of new optimizations when it comes to communicating information about a specific part of a technical drawing or illustration.
Work more efficiently with a noticeably more responsive suite of applications, packed with tools that make a timesaving impact on your design experience.
Technical illustrators who leverage 3D designs from existing sources will benefit from a number of updates to XVL Studio Corel Edition.
Process images in high gear with AI-powered upsampling and JPEG artifact removal and enjoy next-level bitmap-to-vector trace results, made exceptional by machine learned algorithms.
Publish, share and output technical documents to meet technical publication standards with and over 100 other data file formats. Use cross-media publishing and distribution, including CGM, WebCGM (incl. S1000D 5.0), SVG and PDF, to share in a readable format.
Work quickly and efficiently with Windows Real-Time Stylus pen-compatible tablets, such as the Microsoft Surface, in addition to the Wacom tablet and devices.
Create quick adjustments using touch or a stylus. The Touch workspace maximizes the size of your drawing window by displaying only the tools and commands used most often, plus you can pan and zoom with a single gesture.
Enjoy support for wheel devices, such as the Microsoft Surface Dial. Experience an alternative and more intuitive way of working in Corel DESIGNER and CorelDRAW by using touch and dial alone. Put your keyboard aside and try the contextual onscreen UI.
