Corel CTL - CorelDRAW Technical Suite

CorelDRAW Technical Suite 2024

Key features

The complete package for technical communication

The complete solution for visual communication relies on practice-oriented apps for cross-industry use: Corel DESIGNER is the first choice for creating clear technical illustrations. With CorelDRAW, you can create manuals, spare parts catalogs and other marketing materials and integrate your technical illustrations into them. Photo optimization is done with PHOTO-PAINT and with Corel CAPTURE you can capture any screen content as screenshots. Approval workflows and teamwork are significantly accelerated by CorelDRAW.app - bring all project participants together at any time via web, iPad or desktop app.

Sophisticated tools for technical design

The tools for isometric representations, automatic labeling and advanced dimensioning are just a small selection of the tools developed from practical experience for efficient technical illustration. The CorelDRAW Technical Suite enables editors, illustrators and graphic designers to create precise technical illustrations of all kinds, even without in-depth CAD knowledge. From floor plans and schematic illustrations to maintenance manuals and spare parts catalogs with exploded views, everything is possible.

Easy access to 3D data

With XVL Studio Corel Edition, 3D design data can be prepared for further processing. CorelDRAW Technical Suite 3D CAD also supports advanced 3D CAD assembly formats. Tables, 3D models as well as .DES and .CDR files can be inserted into Corel DESIGNER - directly embedded or as a link to the original

Maximum file compatibility

Thanks to extensive file format support, CorelDRAW Technical Suite fits into any workflow. With CGM, WebCGM, 3D PDF and interactive SVG, the latest industry standards are available - for you as a technical editor or illustrator, these guarantee access to all source data and the problem-free transfer of your results. Of course, EPS, DWG, TIFF, PNG, JPEG and WebP are also supported.

Compliance with industry standards

The CorelDRAW Technical Suite supports all common technical publication standards: Support for translation management systems (TMS) ensures linguistic consistency in multilingual projects. S1000D (including Issue 5.0) and ATA iSpec 2200 compatible IETPs are natively supported and you can also export your projects to 3D PDF and PDF/A with ease.
