Maidenhead, UK – Tuesday 19 March 2013 – Corel today announced the newest edition of the company's technical graphics software, CorelDRAW® Technical Suite X6. Formerly known as Corel DESIGNER® Technical Suite, the latest release of the complete visual communication suite includes new precision tools integrated in Corel DESIGNER X6 and the most recent graphic design suite, CorelDRAW® X6. Designed for technical illustrators and technical graphic users, CorelDRAW® Technical Suite X6 adds more power, speed and new XVL technology for working with 3D models including importing, adjusting, modifying and online or mobile publishing.
Access and Repurpose Technical Design Assets
CorelDRAW Technical Suite X6 includes key tools and intuitive features for businesses and technical communicators that rely on technical illustrations and diagrams to quickly and effectively communicate the company’s products and services.
