Start
designing twice as fast!


The all-new CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 marks a new evolution in design.
The first graphics suite to offer intelligent tools, it gives you fewer steps
in the design process, less re-purposing time, faster reviews, better control
over the placement of text and objects, and more accurate layouts. With industry-leading
illustration, digital imaging and motion graphics software in one complete package,
you'll bring your productivity and your designs to a new level.

Designing just got easier with intelligent tools

• New! Smart Drawing
  tool Get it right the first time! The application automatically
  recognizes shapes such as circles, triangles, arrows and parallelograms, and
  intelligently smooths curves while you're drawing, minimizing the number of
  steps it takes to produce graphics and extending your creative possibilities.


• New! Sketching capabilities
  The Smart Drawing tool in CorelDRAW 12 now allows you to quickly
  sketch a design or layout. It intelligently corrects inaccurate movements
  to help you place objects and draw shapes precisely, saving you significant
  time in your review process.



• New! Dynamic Guides
  Lay out objects easily and precisely the first time! When Dynamic
  Guides are turned on, temporary guides appear, which you can pull from the
  object snap points in your drawing cutting your design and re-purposing
  time dramatically!

Time-saving
enhancements help you meet important deadlines

• Suite-wide integration With the seamless interface,
  you can switch between CorelDRAW 12, Corel PHOTO-PAINT 12 and Corel R.A.V.E.
  3 effortlessly to efficiently lay out and edit vector objects and bitmap images.


• Enhanced! Text control
  Work faster and maximize your design layouts with improved control
  and rendering quality of text. Regardless of the zoom level, you can now see
  very detailed changes made to type, including leading and kerning.



• Enhanced! Align and
  Distribute text features You now have the ability to choose
  which part of the text object you are aligning with First line baseline,
  Last line baseline or Bounding Box-providing more flexibility, precision
  and control over your text layout.

Improved file compatibility streamlines your workflow

• New! Export to Microsoft
  Office or WordPerfect Office Publish designs for use
  in your office productivity suite to enhance text documents by adding graphics
  published directly from CorelDRAW Graphics Suite to Microsoft Office or WordPerfect
  Office.



• Enhanced! AutoCAD
  DXF/DWG support Now when you export to AutoCAD DXF/DWG, CorelDRAW
  Graphics Suite 12 preserves line widths so you don't have to re-purpose images,
  making the CorelDRAW to AutoCAD workflow smoother to increase your productivity.


• New! Unicode support
  Unicode text handling allows the software to store more than 65,000
  characters, making a broader range of language characters available to users.
  This means that any text entered on any system will be maintained, including
  English, German and Japanese.
