Introducing CorelDRAW

Technical Suite X6

CorelDRAW

Technical Suite X6 is a complete and

cost-effective solution for both print and online visual

communications. It offers an array of applications

with new features and enhancements that streamline

the workflow of today’s technical communication

professionals and technical graphics users.

Access and repurpose technical design assets

With Corel DESIGNER

X6, you can confidently

work with data created by CAD engineers. You can

take advantage of XVL Studio 3D Corel Edition to

open, edit, modify, and import 3D models into your

technical illustrations. And with XVL Player, you can

interactively insert 3D views and specify various

projections, angles, and basic cross-sections.

CorelDRAW Technical Suite X6 also provides industry-

leading file format compatibility, which ensures

smooth collaboration with colleagues and clients

alike. Whether it’s AutoCAD

DWG and DXF, Adobe

Illustrator

CS6, Adobe

Photoshop

CS6, Microsoft

Publisher, or Adobe

Acrobat

X, you can access and

repurpose data from a wide range of formats. Plus,

Corel

CONNECT

™

X6 offers an easy and efficient way

to organize and find project assets.

[ 2 ] Reviewer’s Guide

Create technical illustrations with precision

Corel DESIGNER X6 provides new and enhanced

specialized design tools for the specific tasks

required of technical illustrators. From dimension

lines, callouts, and annotations to threads and

wells, magnified views, projected measurements,

and precise alignment aids, Corel DESIGNER X6

offers everything you need to create clear and

accurate technical illustrations.

Illustrate with style and consistency

With Corel DESIGNER X6, you’ll find many

convenient features that help you implement and

maintain a consistent style. A new styles engine

and Object Styles docker make it easy to ensure

consistency of all illustration elements, such as

lines, callouts, colors, dimensions, halos, and text.

A new Color Styles docker lets you use styles and

color harmonies to manage colors and quickly

implement project-wide color changes, which is

especially useful for producing iterative designs and

varying graphic outputs. In addition, new support

for advanced OpenType

and typesettings for Asian

and Middle Eastern languages help you output

multi-lingual publications with confidence.

CorelDRAW Technical Suite X6 also provides creative

design applications, such as CorelDRAW

X6 and

Corel

PHOTO-PAINT

™

X6, which are ideal for

producing downstream outputs from a technical

illustration, such as marketing collateral, graphics,

and presentation materials.

Publish to technical communication standards

With it’s industry-leading file format compatibility,

online and mobile 3D publishing options, support

for WebCGM and S1000D, CorelDRAW Technical

Suite X6 ensures that you can output for print

publication, the web, online Help systems, and

IETMs. You can also rely on compliance with various

standards-based systems, including Content

Management Systems (CMS), Product Data

Management (PDM), Product Lifecycle Management

(PLM), and Translation Memory Systems (TMS).

Increase performance, speed, and efficiency

The integrated, native 64-bit applications included

with CorelDRAW Technical Suite X6 are optimized

for multi-core processors, which is ideal for

working with large files and complex 3D data. The

new Property Manager docker presents only

selection-dependent options so you can apply

object formatting faster than ever before.

The suite also offers enhancements that help you

increase workflow efficiency, such as new support

for Symbol transparency, dynamic callout creation

based on object data, quicker and more agile

object selection, and the ability to interactively

place 3D-sourced illustrations as high-quality 2D

vector graphics.

Customer profiles

Technical communication professionals

These users often have formal training in a

technical or graphics field, such as technical

illustration or technical writing. They work in

discrete manufacturing, automotive, aerospace,

telecommunications, architectural engineering and

construction (AEC), and apparel industries.

The graphics created by technical illustrators are

used in assembly instructions, user guides,

illustrated parts catalogs (IPCs), maintenance

manuals, schematics, or wiring diagrams. These

documents are output to various media, such as

print, the web, and interactive electronic technical

manuals (IETMs).

Technical communication professionals receive files

from colleagues and clients that were created with

various industry-standard applications. Within a

collaborative environment, the ability to repurpose

3D CAD and legacy files for multiple outputs is

critical to streamline processes.

In addition, many small to medium-sized

organizations rely on content authoring and

management systems, so they seek solutions that

can be easily integrated.

Technical graphics users

These users are often self-taught in graphic design

and work in large enterprise environments, such as

manufacturing, automotive, telecommunication,

pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and energy industries.

Among their many tasks and responsibilities is the

need to create a variety of graphics, including

diagrams used in presentation materials, floor

plans, schematics, and marketing materials.

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.

In a typical organization, there may be many

technical graphics users spread across several

departments. They are not generally required to use

the software daily, and as such, they do not often

get opportunities for extensive training.

They require cost-effective and easy-to-use

solutions that enable them to repurpose legacy files

and 2D CAD data, create basic technical diagrams,

and publish standardized outputs.

Key features

CorelDRAW Technical Suite X6 is a complete and

cost-effective solution for both print and online

visual communications.

Access and repurpose technical design assets

Most technical illustrations, in 2D or 3D formats,

originate from data created by CAD engineers. A

technical illustrator will often use multiple

applications before finishing a design. The ability to

exchange this information between applications

without losing data is critical to a technical

illustrator’s workflow.

New! XVL technology |

Importing 3D models:

CorelDRAW Technical Suite X6 includes XVL Studio

3D Corel Edition, which lets you open, adjust, edit,

and modify 3D models for use in Corel DESIGNER

illustrations. When you send a 3D model from XVL

Studio 3D to Corel DESIGNER, it opens as a high-

quality vector illustration of the selected 3D view.

You can open and edit 3D models with XVL Studio 3D Corel Edition before sending a 3D view to Corel DESIGNER.

[ 8 ] Reviewer’s Guide

XVL Studio 3D offers support for 3D file formats,

such as AutoCAD (DWG and DXF), 3D Studio Max

(3DS), Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML2),

and Universal 3D (U3D).

New! XVL technology |

3D models in Corel

DESIGNER

illustrations:

With the inclusion of

XVL Player, you can easily insert 3D models in Corel

DESIGNER illustrations. XVL Player lets you preview

3D models from different angles, specify parallel or

perspective projected views, and change the

orientation, position, and size of a 3D model. You

can also create a basic cross section, which is a

cutaway view so you can see inside the 3D object.
