Mesh Fill tool:
You can create unique effects by
filling an object with a mesh fill. For example, you
can create smooth color transitions in any
direction without having to create blends or
contours. The Mesh Fill tool lets you specify the
grid’s intersecting points as well as the number of
columns and rows in the grid.
Smart Fill tool:
This convenient tool detects the
edges of an area and creates a closed path so
that the area can be filled. By using the Smart Fill
tool, you can fill practically anything. For example,
if you draw a freehand line that crosses over itself
to create loops, the Smart Fill tool will detect the
edges of the loops and fill them.
The Smart Fill tool helps you fill enclosed areas.
Dimension tools:
CorelDRAW includes several
dimension tools that make it easy to detail precise
measurements in your design. For example,
dimension lines can be used to display the size of
objects, or the distance or angle between objects.
You can choose from angular, parallel, horizontal,
vertical, or segment dimension tools.
Document palette:
When you start a new
CorelDRAW document, a custom color palette is
automatically created. The palette is then saved
with your file, which gives you quick access to the
project’s specific colors in the future.

Drawing scale:
The drawing scale is especially
useful for technical or architectural drawings which
require accuracy and precision. CorelDRAW lets you
choose a preset or custom drawing scale, which
ensures that distances in your drawing are
proportionate to real-world distances. For example,
you can specify that 1 inch in the drawing
corresponds to 1 meter in the physical world.
Fillet / Scallop / Chamfer docker:
This docker
makes it easy to shape the corners of curve
objects. Filleting produces a rounded corner;
scalloping rounds and inverts the corner to create
a notch; and chamfering bevels the corner so that
it appears flat.
You can fillet, chamfer, or scallop the corners of objects.
Contour tool:
This tool helps you create
interesting 3D effects and cuttable outlines for
output to devices, such as plotters, engraving
machines, and vinyl cutters. When you contour
an object, you add evenly spaced concentric
shapes that progress to the inside or the outside
of the object’s borders.
The Contour tool helps you create 3D effects.
