Bridge the gap between print and electronic distribution with the ability to publish to 3D PDF, offering interactive viewing of 3D content in combination with other visual and text elements. Export to 3D PDF to generate a document with all pertinent data and graphics in one publication for cross-media publishing. 3D PDF files can be viewed with free PDF reader applications that are installed on almost any desktop or laptop computer.

Choose one of two ways to insert a 3D model into a Corel DESIGNER® document; either insert it as an external reference or embed the 3D model (XVL file) in the Corel DESIGNER document. When embedding the 3D file, the 3D model can be accessed for modifications within the Corel DESIGNER (.DES) file. You can then share the .DES file with other users who can access the embedded 3D file.

Reach a worldwide audience with a new option that allows you to send text content from your document in Corel DESIGNER to Translation Memory Systems (TMS) using XLIFF standard, and receive translated content from TMS. The translation results can then be imported into the existing document to create a new file for the specific language. With illustrations instantly available in multiple languages, companies can satisfy their global business needs.

Expand beyond the standard 3D file support and take advantage of the automated 3D CAD to illustration update, with the optional Lattice3D Studio CAD add-on. Streamline the technical illustration process by accessing early 3D designs as a source file. Once the designs are updated, you can use an automated process, auto detection and update, to implement the design changes engineering has applied to the original 3D source file. This optional add-on also provides support for the native assembly and part file formats of high-end 3D CAD systems such as CATIA, SolidWorks, NX, Inventor, PTC Creo and many others. Plus, you can publish your document as a 3D PDF or Lattice3D file format for instant sharing and publishing via online and mobile.

Increase your productivity with the powerful updates to the application’s interface. With full support for state-of-the-art hardware, you can set up your personal workspace to fully leverage the option of multiple displays. Use one screen for your illustration and 3D work, then rely on the second screen for supporting documentation or additional tools and dockers. Advanced workspace options offer something for everyone including Lite for beginners, Technical for pro users doing isometric illustrations, Diagramming for pro users using flowcharts and diagrams, and the Adobe workspace for new Corel DESIGNER users coming from other applications.
