Corel DESIGNER
®
X5 addresses these needs by
allowing technical illustrators to import and
visualize 3D design files and by providing
enhanced support for AutoCAD formats. With the
optional add-on, Right Hemisphere
®
Deep
Exploration
™
6 CCE, users can directly import 3D
CAD files received from engineering and
manufacturing departments.
Technical illustrators can get right to work without
having to spend time correcting errors that occur
during format conversion. Corel DESIGNER X5 also
lets technical illustrators easily access legacy
documents, whether in digital format or on hard
copy, by providing enhanced support for older
Corel DESIGNER files. What’s more, technical
illustrators can now convert scanned drawings and
blueprints to vector graphics by using
Corel
®
PowerTRACE
®
, a dedicated bitmap-to-vector
conversion application that is integrated into
Corel DESIGNER X5.
Specialized drawing tools help technical
illustrators quickly improve the clarity of their
work. With the collaborate tool, CorelDRAW
ConceptShare, technical illustrators can share and
review files within Corel DESIGNER X5,
CorelDRAW X5, and Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5. In
addition, technical illustrators can customize the
workspace to best suit their working style and can
save valuable time by automating tasks.
Technical graphics users
Technical graphics users work in large-enterprise
environments. Among their many tasks and
responsibilities is the need to create a variety of
graphics, including diagrams used in presentation
material, floor plans, and schematics. These users
may create graphics from scratch or base them on
legacy files. They often work collaboratively, and
the graphics they create may later be imported
for reuse with office-productivity, diagramming,
and desktop-publishing software.
Self-taught in graphic design, these users can
confidently turn to the enhanced diagramming
tools in Corel DESIGNER X5 to modify existing
graphics. Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5, a professional-
caliber image editor, allows them to work with
photos in a wide variety of formats — including
raw files from more than 360 camera models — to
create presentations and marketing collateral.
With its extensive collection of learning tools,
Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite X5 makes it easy
to create impressive images — even for users
without a technical design background.
Furthermore, technical graphics users can work
seamlessly with clients and colleagues in other
departments, thanks to the enhanced
compatibility with industry-standard file formats,
including Microsoft
®
Visio
®
, Microsoft Office
®
,
Microsoft Publisher, and PDF 1.7.
Corel DESIGNER X5 is the ultimate software solution for a technical graphics workflow.
