Introducing Corel DESIGNER
®
Technical Suite X5
Corel DESIGNER
®
Technical Suite X5 is the most
complete and cost-effective solution for visual
technical communications. It provides a bevy of
applications designed to complement a technical
illustration workflow. It also offers smooth
network deployment with multilingual options
for IT adminstrators, making the suite ideal for
businesses of any size.
Connect to technical design assets
With Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite X5, users can
start projects quickly from virtually any source
material. The new Corel
®
CONNECT
™
lets users
search for and access content from disparate
sources, such as their computer, an external
memory card, a local network, and even online.
The suite also provides industry-leading file
format compatibility, 3D visualization options, an
add-on for increased 3D CAD capabilities, and
many more new and enhanced tools that
dramatically speed the technical illustration
process. Enhanced support for industry-standard
AutoCAD
®
DWG
™
and AutoCAD
®
DXF
™
formats
ensures that users won’t have to spend precious
time dealing with file-conversion errors.
Create technical illustrations with
confidence
Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite X5 lets users
create illustrations, diagrams, and technical
documentation with confidence using specialized
technical drawing tools and intuitive features.
The inclusion of both CorelDRAW
®
X5 and
Corel
®
PHOTO-PAINT
™
X5 gives users additional
options when outputting illustrations for use in
creative projects, such as marketing, sales, or
other promotional materials.
An array of dedicated and specialized technical-
illustration features helps users work quickly
without compromising precision. By using the
tools for creating halos and connector lines, users
can add an unprecedented level of clarity to their
drawings. In addition, dimension, arrowhead, and
line tools let users easily and intuitively create and
fine-tune technical illustrations and diagrams.
What’s more, the projected drawing modes
dramatically increase productivity by letting users
actively draw on the projected plane, which
eliminates the need to draw the object first and
then project it in a second step.
Publish to technical communication
standards
Technical illustrations appear in documents that vary
widely in scale and complexity — for example,
furniture construction manuals, parts catalogs,
machine assembly instructions, and interactive
electronic training manuals (IETM). The media used
for output are also diverse, ranging from printed
materials to interactive screen illustrations.
To that end, Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite X5
simplifies the workflow of technical illustrators.
Users can easily share their work online or in
print, thanks to support for a wide range of
industry standards, including WebCGM, S1000D,
and PDF/A.
