NEW! Features of Version 2021 include:

Expierence a Seamless Transition From 3D Design to Illustration
Turn repurposed 3D engineering data into detailed technical illustrations with ease.

  • 3-Point Thread Creation Tool: By referencing the center and edges of a threadless bolt, the new 3-Point Thread Creation tool accurately snaps to the sides of your bolt as you drag the thread along it.
  • Remove Border Tool: The new Remove Border tool takes effortless thread and well creation even further, by removing the redundant outer lines of the projected shape with one click.
  • XVL Studio Enhancements: Now links on parts in XVL Studio will be converted to HTML links when imported to Corel DESIGNER, and variable part names used in the Assembly Tree will map to Corel DESIGNER for added consistency.

Work Faster with a Reimagined Approach to Technical Illustration
Experience streamlined technical illustration with your frequently used tools concentrated where they matter most–at your fingertips.

  • Projection Bookmarks: Pin custom perspective settings on your illustration for later and recall them by clicking the bookmark indicator on your drawing.
  • Projection Shortcut: Project shapes in and out of parallel perspective instantaneously with a handy shortcut.
  • Reconfigured Projected Axes Docker: Move elements along a projected axis more intuitively without the need to switch between dockers or other UI controls.

Create Complete Spare Parts Pages with Impressive New Functionality
Create detailed spare parts pages with complete control, thanks to a series of noteworthy new features purpose-built to power discrete manufacturing workflows.

  • Interactive SVG Support: Convey parts information with even more clarity by linking drawing callouts to table rows, so that on hover, the corresponding information is highlighted.
  • Sources Docker Enhancements: Now you can import .DES, .CDR, and spreadsheet files into Corel DESIGNER’s Sources docker to couple technical illustrations with specifications in tables.
  • Interactive SVG Support: Publish fully interactive documentation online, thanks to an enhanced Export docker with support for interactive SVG export.

Work Better Together with Collaborative Review and Approval
Stay connected with colleagues and clients in powerful new ways as remote work becomes the new normal.

  • Project Dashboard: Intuitively store, organize, and share cloud files using the new project dashboard.
  • Live Comments: Gather live comments and annotations from contributors directly in your .DES or .CDR design file.

Dynamic Asset Management
Ensure you’re always working with the most current symbols, thanks to an impressive new asset management workflow. Create a single source of truth for design assets by sharing symbols across projects and with teams, and syncing updates when changes are made by you or others.

Transform Technical Designs into Compelling Marketing Assets
This fully loaded suite of dedicated applications extends the reach of visual communications.

  • Draw in Persepctive: Add creative touches in 1, 2 or 3-point perspective, in Corel DESIGNER and CorelDRAW, using the new Draw in Perspective feature.
  • Multi-Page View: View, manage, and edit all your project’s digital assets in one flexible design space.
  • Enhanced Photo-Editing: Get quick access to your most frequently used filters and apply critical image adjustments non-destructively, thanks the new Adjustments docker.

Tools for High-Impact Visual Presentation
From manufacturing and engineering to architecture and high tech, Corel has got you covered with timesaving illustration features and game-changing tools to help reach new levels of productivity.


Other Features include:

Axonometric Drawing Tools
Create isometric or other parallel projected technical illustrations for assembly and maintenance instructions by dynamically drawing on a projected plane. Project your existing planar objects to a desired plane in lieu of manual calculations.Advanced Dimension Tools
Eliminate the need to draw and project dimension objects in multiple steps thanks to the dimension tools. Display precise measurement values in building plans and more. Add context with projected arrows in dimensions and leader lines.

Streamlined Callout Creation
Track essential design details and have Callouts dynamically update and change when based on object metadata. Connect or "stick" to source objects as they are modified with Sticky callouts. The Legless Callouts are perfect to add when a callout doesn’t need a leader line.

Drawing Scale Control
Create illustrations and diagrams to scale with the drawing scale control. View the active drawing scale, switch to another preset, or set a custom scale. Corel DESIGNER retains the drawing scale when importing a vector illustration from a 3D model view so imported views are placed at scale.

Hotshot Capabilities
Add interactive functions to callout shapes in technical publications with the callout drawing tool in Corel DESIGNER. Draw and attach callouts to nested groups by automatically applying hotspots and object information on callouts, saving you time.

Wrap Objects Around Cylinders
The Wrap tool makes it quick and easy to precisely wrap an object around a cylinder or ellipse, like adding a label to a bottle.

Object Styles and Presets
Ensure a consistent look, style, and layout throughout your design projects with Object Styles, Color Styles and Color Harmonies. Explore preloaded Style Sets that follow S1000D technical illustration standards, complete with quick keys for a faster workflow.

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

Straighten and Adjust Photos Automatically
Rotate crooked images by interactively aligning a straightening bar to an element in the photo or specifying an angle of rotation. Use the interactive Perspective Correction tool to adjust the perspective of buildings, landmarks, or objects in photos.

Thick and Thin Line Drawing
Easily add depth to an isometric with the time saving Thick and Thin Lines feature. Automatically apply two line weights at once and reverse them in a click.

Scale Halos with Outlines
When it comes to adding halos on lines, enjoy the ability to lock the ratio between your outline width and halo width for seamless scaling.

Add Perspective Effect
Quickly create the illusion of distance and depth by applying perspective to bitmaps, vector objects, or both, directly in the drawing window. It’s an ingenious tool to showcase technical illustrations in real world scenarios.

Add Envelopes to Bitmaps
Shape a bitmap interactively by placing it in an envelope and dragging its nodes. Quickly and seamlessly blend a bitmap into an illustration by using envelope presets or crafting a custom envelope from scratch.

GPU-Accelerated Vector Previews
Reposition and edit complex vector shapes without taxing your system’s resources. Using the graphics processing unit (GPU) may accelerate the display, editing, and manipulation of graphics in Corel DESIGNER, CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT on some machines.

Symmetry Drawing Mode
Create a range of symmetrical designs, from simple objects to complex effects in real time, and boost your productivity by automating what is usually a very time-consuming workflow.

3D PDF Publishing


Publish to 3D PDF with interactive viewing of 3D content, combined with other visual and text elements. Export from Corel DESIGNER to 3D PDF to generate output with pertinent data and graphics in one document for cross- media publishing. 3D PDF files can be viewed with free PDF reader applications.

Advanced Automation Capabilities
Create macros and add-ins with the integrated Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA), Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), and JavaScript support. With the enhanced automation interface, developers can create utilities and macros that can interact with the drawing page, and enhance in-product applications.

Translation Memory System (TMS) Workflow
Produce illustrations that contain descriptive text, then output directly to the Translation Memory System (TMS), and process in Corel DESIGNER for translated results to use in multilingual global technical publication.

Designed from the Ground Up for Windows


  • Pen: 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.
