Product description

Projected Drawing Modes
• Create isometric or other parallel projected illustrations for assembly and maintenance instructions by dynamically drawing on a projected plane. Project your existing planar objects to a desired plane instead of manually calculating the skew angle and rotation.

Advanced Dimension Tools
• Eliminate the need to draw and project dimension objects in multiple steps, thanks to the advanced dimension tools. Display precise measurement values in build plans and more, including radial and diameter dimensioning. Plus, with projected dimension options, your projected drawings can be quickly documented with precise and dynamic dimension lines and text.

3D PDF Publishing
• Publish to 3D PDF with interactive viewing of 3D content in combination with other visual and text elements. Export from Corel DESIGNER to 3D PDF to generate output with all pertinent data and graphics in one document for cross-media publishing. 3D PDF files can be viewed with free PDF reader applications that are installed on almost any desktop or laptop computer.

3D Import & Visualization Tools
• Add context to your technical projects by using 3D views and models in your illustrations. With the integrated Lattice3D Studio, you can create high-quality renderings from 3D views imported from DWG, 3DS, VRML, and XVL files, or use the unique Insert 3D functionality to embed 3D models as editable 3D elements with a high-resolution preview.

Insert 3D Models into Technical Illustrations
• Choose one of two ways to insert a 3D model into a Corel DESIGNER document; either insert it as an external reference or embed the 3D model (XVL file) in the Corel DESIGNER document. When embedding the 3D file, the 3D model can be accessed for modifications within the Corel DESIGNER (.DES) file. You can then share the .DES file with other users who can access the embedded 3D file.

Translation Memory System (TMS) Support
• Reach a worldwide audience with an option that allows you to send text content from your graphics file in Corel DESIGNER to Translation Memory Systems (TMS) using XLIFF standard, and receive translated content from TMS. The translation results can then be imported into the existing document to create a new file for the specific language.

Automated 3D CAD to Illustration Update Capability
• Expand beyond the standard 3D file support and take advantage of the automated 3D CAD to illustration update, with the optional Lattice3D Studio CAD add-on. Streamline the technical illustration process by accessing early 3D designs as a source file. Once the designs are updated, you can use an automated process, Auto Detection, and Update to implement the design changes engineering has applied to the original 3D source file.

3D CAD Repurposing Capabilities
• Lattice3D Studio CAD add-on also provides support for the native assembly and part file formats of high-end 3D CAD systems such as CATIA, SolidWorks, NX, Inventor, PTC Creo and many others. Plus, you can publish animated 3D visualizations as a 3D PDF or Lattice3D file format for instant sharing and publishing via online and mobile.

Easy Access to Design Assets
• Instantly find images on your local network and search online portals and websites, and easily access content using built-in content assistant Corel CONNECT. Organize assets by type or project in trays that are shared between Corel DESIGNER, CorelDRAW, Corel PHOTO-PAINT and Corel CONNECT for maximum efficiency. Utilize the Content Exchange and the tray synchronization option with Microsoft OneDrive.

Redesigned Customizable User Interface
• Leverage the option of multiple displays, using one screen for illustration and 3D work, and one for documentation or additional tools. Advanced workspaces offer Lite for beginners, Technical for pros doing isometric illustrations, Diagramming for pros using flowcharts and diagrams, and the Adobe workspace for new Corel DESIGNER users coming from other applications.

Precise Illustration Tools
• Add greater levels of detail to your technical illustrations with projected shape tools, including Thread, Well, Cylinder, and Prism tools. Quickly and easily draw thread and shapes in projected space for the creation of bolts, nuts, and more.

Precision Layout & Drawing Tools
• Capture your intended drawing shape with exactness using the new Outline Position options that recognize line width measurements for object dimensions. Use the Alignment Guides so all elements of your technical illustration are intuitively, yet precisely, placed in their intended positions.

Parallel Line Drawing Tool
• Speed up the creation of all kinds of technical graphics, from wiring diagrams to architectural designs with the Parallel Drawing mode in Corel DESIGNER X7. You can simultaneously draw multiple parallel curves while controlling the distance between them. Use the Parallel Drawing toolbar to set the number of parallel curves to create and position them with precision.

Streamlined Callout Creation
• Track essential design details and key information with dynamic callout tools. Sticky callouts will connect or "stick" to source objects as they are moved around or modified. You can also link callout text to source shape metadata. Callouts based on object metadata are dynamic, helping you efficiently and consistently implement updates and changes.

Hotspot Capabilities
• Use the callout drawing tool in Corel DESIGNER to add interactive functionality to callout shapes in technical publications. With the Object Data Manager docker, you can list metadata fields, such as WebCGM metadata, for callout shapes. Object data items can be edited so that callout shapes can be manually edited as hotspots for WebCGM output.

Total Control Over Fills & Transparency
• Gives you complete control over your fountain, bitmap pattern, vector pattern and hatch fills. Plus, the Fill dialog includes access to Content Exchange and fill libraries in Corel DESIGNER.

Drawing Scale Control
• Create your illustrations and diagrams in accurate scale with the drawing scale control. View the active drawing scale, switch to another preset or set a custom scale at any time. In addition, Corel DESIGNER X7 maintains the drawing scale when importing a vector illustration from a 3D model view so that imported views can be placed at a precise scale.

Object Styles
• Apply a consistent look throughout your projects with Object Styles, Color Styles and Color Harmonies. The Object Styles docker centralizes style creation and management with everything you need in one place, including Outline, Fill, Hatches, Dimension, Callouts, Halos, Character, Text Frame, and Color styles. Group your favorite styles together in Style Sets to format many objects at once.

Control Over Object Styles & Symbols
• Ensure consistent styles, including externally referenced symbols, and layout throughout your design projects. With the enhanced Object Styles in Corel DESIGNER X7 and CorelDRAW X7, you can manage object styles, such as outline color, line style, line width, fill type and color, and text styles. You can then create symbol libraries that can be accessed and used across projects. Reuse the style definitions that you create once and apply to the individual components in the custom symbols.

Equation Editor
• Manage mathematical equations as editable elements within technical illustrations using the newly integrated Equation Editor. Mathematical and scientific formulas can be inserted and displayed in the drawing, and then modified when needed. Existing equations from older CorelDRAW documents can be opened or imported for use in Corel DESIGNER equations.

QR Code Generator
• Create time-saving QR codes with Corel DESIGNER X7 and add scalable QR codes to a drawing, allowing you to give technicians in the field the ability to link to online technical documentation from printed documentation or machine labels using a smartphone.

Easy Color Harmony Editing
• The enhanced Color Styles docker makes it easier than ever to view, arrange, and edit color styles and harmonies. You can now specify the brightness value, and preserve saturation and hue while adjusting a color. New harmony rules let you snap all colors in a color harmony to a rule-based system, so you can modify those colors while preserving the color harmony.

Easy Font Preview & Advanced Character Tools
• Find the ideal font for any project. The Font Playground lets you preview and experiment with different fonts before bringing them into your design. Plus, the revamped Insert Character docker automatically shows you all the characters, symbols, and glyphs associated with your font.

Technical Publication Standards Support
• Keep up with current industry requirements with the ability to publish to a variety of industry-standard file formats, including WebCGM (with S1000D profile support) for Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM), Illustrated Parts Catalogs (IPC) creation, and PDF support, including ISO standard PDF/A and 3D PDF.
