If you have the advanced-level Lattice3D Studio CAD Corel Edition add-on installed, you can access settings for line types or fonts for
creating illustrations in the Send to Corel DESIGNERdialog box by clicking Details.
You can publish to 3D PDF from Corel DESIGNER X7, creating documents that combine text, vector graphics, images, and embedded
3D models. Using a PDF reader that supports 3D PDF viewing, such as Adobe Reader, the end user can interact with the 3D model, so
they can rotate, move, and size it.
Inserting and adjusting 3D models
You can insert and view 3D models in Corel DESIGNER by using the embedded interface of Lattice3D Player, a 3D viewer for XVL files. In
addition, you can use the controls of the Lattice3D Player to adjust the view of the 3D model by panning, rotating, zooming, and choosing a
different view.
When you insert a 3D model, you can embed the 3D model or maintain a link with the source 3D files. When you can maintain a link with
the source 3D files, any adjustments that you make to an inserted file affect the source file. You can break the link between the inserted files
and the source 3D files at any time.
To insert a 3D model
1
Click File Insert 3D model.
If this menu command is not available, you must update your installation to include Lattice3D Player. For more information, see “To
modify or repair a CorelDRAW Technical Suite X7 installation” on page 7.
2 Locate and open the XVL file that you want to insert.
To embed the 3D model, disable the Import as linked file check box.
3 Drag in the drawing window to insert the file at the desired size and position.
You can insert only 3D models saved to the XVL file format. To insert a 3D model saved to another file format, you must first import
it (File 3D Import), save it as an XVL file, including snapshots and cross section, and then insert it. If you have the advanced-level
Lattice3D Studio CAD Corel Edition add-on installed, you can save a 3D model that includes animations as an XVL file.
To adjust the view of a 3D model
1 Double-click the graphic in the drawing window.
2 Using the controls in the Lattice3D Player, do any of the following:
• Pan the 3D model.
• Rotate the 3D model.
• Zoom in and out of the 3D model.
• Change the view.
