This is a huge time saver for tasks that CorelDRAW is often used for, like creating packaging designs and adverts, which clients need to see as if they were on a supermarket shelf or an ad hoarding, even though they'll be printed onto flat surfaces. You can add text, draw with the pen tool or combine perspective with objects drawn on the normal, orthographic plane to get the required look. You pick a perspective grid and either draw the objects you want and have them snap to the right perspective, or import and paste in existing designs and right-click to pick the alignment plane. The new perspective drawing tools make it easy to draw with one point (looking towards the horizon), two-point (good for showing packaging and 3D objects) and three-point (birds-eye) perspective.
COREL DRAW UPDATE INITIALIZING MANUAL
But whether you want a dramatic birds-eye view or just to have buildings line up with the horizon properly, drawing with the correct 3D perspective has been a very manual task for illustrators, who have had to create the same grids every time, and either draw custom shapes or draw rectangles and then transform them to fit the perspective. Image-editing tools like Photoshop have had perspective correction tools for some years. For a novice, the interface can be challenging and many of the improvements in this version aim to streamline what were previously complex workflows. CloseĬorelDRAW keeps on adding powerful new tools and making existing features easier to use, and experienced users will get a lot out of the product.
