Create layouts with ease

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 makes it easier than
ever before to lay out your project.
New!
Advanced OpenType
®
support:
With
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6, the reengineered
text engine lets you take greater advantage of
advanced OpenType
®
typography features, such as
contextual and stylistic alternates, fractions,
ligatures, ordinals, ornaments, small caps,
swashes, and more. OpenType fonts are based on
Unicode, which makes them ideal for cross-
platform design work, and the extended character
sets offer outstanding language support.
Accessible from the Object Properties docker, the
OpenType features let you choose alternative
appearances for individual characters, or glyphs, to
suit your stylistic preference provided that the font
supports advanced OpenType. For example, you
can apply a different number, fraction, or ligature
glyph to achieve a certain look for your text. In
addition, with the Interactive OpenType feature,
CorelDRAW X6 will suggest eligible OpenType
features that you can apply to your text.
Support for advanced OpenType gives you access to
alternate appearances for selected characters.
New!
Alignment Guides:
With CorelDRAW
X6, the new Alignment Guides help you position
objects more quickly, appearing on the fly with
suggested alignments to the existing artwork on
your page. These temporary guidelines appear
when you create, resize, or move objects in
relation to the center or edges of other nearby
objects. Alignment Guides interactively connect
the centers and the edges of objects, and you
also can choose to display Alignment Guides from
the edges of one object to the center of another
object.
You can modify the default settings for Alignment
Guides to suit your needs. For example, if you
were working with a group of objects, you could
display Alignment Guides for individual objects
within the group, or for the bounding of the
group as a whole. In addition, you can specify
margins for Alignment Guides to help you align
objects at a set distance. You can also choose to
display the Alignment Guides to follow the
margins only, or to follow the actual edges of the
object.
The new Alignment Guides appear as you move an
object, helping you position objects more quickly.
