Corel DRAW X3 Graphic Suite Full Version is a vector
graphics editor developed and marketed by Corel Corporation of Ottawa,
Canada. It is also the name of Corel’s Graphics Suite, which bundles
CorelDraw with a bitmap image editor, Corel PhotoPaint, and other
graphics-related programs (see below). The latest version is designated
X6 (equivalent to version 16), and was released in March 2012.
History
In 1987, Corel hired software engineers Michel Bouillon and Pat
Beirne to develop a vector-based illustration program to bundle with
their desktop publishing systems. That program, CorelDRAW, was initially
released in 1989. CorelDRAW 1.x and 2.x runs under Windows 2.x and 3.0.
CorelDRAW 3.0 came into its own with Microsoft’s release of Windows
3.1. The inclusion of TrueType in Windows 3.1 transformed CorelDRAW into
a serious illustration program capable of using system-installed
outline fonts without requiring third-party software such as Adobe Type
Manager; paired with a photo editing program (PhotoPaint), a font
manager and several other pieces of software, it was also part of the
first all-in-one graphics suite.
The first book devoted to CorelDRAW was Mastering CorelDRAW by Chris
Dickman, published by Peachpit Press in 1990, with a contribution by
Rick Altman. Dickman also founded and published the independent
Mastering CorelDRAW Journal publication, and created and ran the first
site dedicated to CorelDRAW, CorelNET.com, from 1995 to 1997.
X3 Features
Double click Crop tool (the first vector software able to crop groups
of vectors and bitmap images at the same time), Smart fill tool,
Chamfer/Fillet/Scallop/Emboss tool, Image Adjustment Lab. Trace became
integrated inside Draw under the name PowerTRACE.
