Coreldraw technical suite review9/6/2023 Users can pull data from assembly trees originating in the CAD source data, add data fields that can add more data, or provide alternative naming of parts. Interactive Spare Parts Catalogs are now even easier to create in version 2021. “If you want to put something on a tablet for your service staff, then you can put a link here in Corel DESIGNER to a source of the part, for example, says Schmaehl. Corel has added a group of interactive features that empower users to build interactive spare parts pages. As noted above, Schmaehl pointed out that some users were already attempting linking. The third area of improvement in this year’s version is in interactivity. This is helpful when adding boreholes, decals, etc. You can also project shapes (like circles) in and out of parallel perspective with a handy new shortcut. Accessing them from either a bookmark directly in the illustration or a drop-down list, the user can speed along with other projections of the 3D model and work much faster. In this 2021 version, however, Corel added Bookmarks so you can save these changed perspectival settings for different areas of the 3D model. This is how you bring illustration conveniently into the 3D CAD world. Now all tools in DESIGNER are conveniently oriented to that perspective. When you want to work on a specific set of axes (X-Y plane or Z-Y plane) or a plane off cartesian axes, you can click three vertices on a plane (surface on the model) and pin Corel DESIGNER to that perspective. The 3D cube or Project Axes Docker will be familiar to most CAD and technical illustration users. In the area of performance and working faster, Corel has added Projection Bookmarks as a significant new feature in Corel DESIGNER. Without having any link DESIGNER detects the data that comes in from XVL Studio and updates it in DESIGNER where it was placed. So if I change the source content, I can then update it here in DESIGNER,” he adds. When XVL Studio and DESIGNER are opened at the same time with the “same content” (3D Model / Illustration from it), then the user can invoke the update of the illustration in DESIGNER from XVL Studio. “An important thing is the data is not imported into DESIGNER but rather linked. Projection Bookmarks are a new feature in version 2021 that saves perspective working plane settings, thereby helping users move swiftly between illustrative work relative to different “planes” on 3D objects. Additionally, variable part names used in the Assembly Tree now map to Corel DESIGNER. “We had some users who were working with SVG files, and they started linking things to other files and URLs,” says Schmaehl, and these didn’t transform so well over in DESIGNER, so we fixed that. On the XVL Studio side, one can create links on parts in assembly models that convert to HTML links when brought over to Corel DESIGNER. Schmaehl notes in previous versions, you could fix it in DESIGNER, but it took far longer. Threads on bolts are one of the everyday things. “When you take your model over from the engineering world to the technical illustration world, you might have something missing,” says Schmaehl. To create a more seamless experience working between XVL Studio and DESIGNER, Corel this year added a 3-point thread creation tool. So now they are in Corel DESIGNER as well,” he says. “On top of improvements in these three broad areas, we also added all of the CorelDRAW features from that product, released earlier in the year. Being able to illustrate or add missing bolts is a common task in the types of workflows that CorelDRAW Technical Suite addresses. Bolts are one of the common items in mechanical parts in industries like automotive. Three-point Borderless Threads is one of the new features in Corel Designer 2021.
