CorelDRAW is an old acquaintance to many people, the graphics package has been released in an updated version this week. The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite contains a large number of innovations that make it even easier and faster to work with. Central to this is the new touch-based CorelDRAW.app for the Apple iPad.
One of the important innovations is that it has become easier to share projects with others so that feedback can be easily processed. This way you can collaborate from any location. To make this easy, CorelDRAW has a dashboard that allows you to keep an overview of all collaboration files and the status of the projects. Reviewers can add live comments and notes to documents. It is even possible to integrate CorelDRAW into Microsoft Teams via the dedicated app.
Other tricks include the ability to display multiple pages and to export multiple items at once. Also new is a function for drawing in perspective and using smart ‘magnetic’ guides.
