Design with creativity and confidence

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7 continues to refine the 
user experience, providing you with new alignment tools 
and color controls, and new creative options that help 
you design with creativity and confidence.

Align and Distribute docker: The new Align and 

Distribute docker provides quick and easy access to all 
available alignment options so that you can position objects 
with precision. Docking the alignment options keeps the 
drawing window uncluttered, so you can instantly view the 
effects of any align and distribute modifications. 

There are also new options that you can use to align and 
distribute objects from the edge of their outlines. Plus, you 
can align objects with a reference point by specifying its 
exact x and y coordinates.

QR codes: With CorelDRAW X7, you can now 

create unique, artistic, and scalable QR codes by adding 
text, colors, and images. Popular in consumer advertising 
and packaging, QR codes give smartphone users quick 
access to a brand’s website which can offer additional 
product information. The Object Properties docker 
makes it easy to customize a QR code, and you can 
create an object style that saves a fixed appearance for 
the QR code to enable quick and easy reuse. 

You can change the shape, outline width, color, and fill 
type of the QR code pixels, change the background color 
and fill type, and more. You can also choose which 
information to include in the QR code, such as URL, 
email address, phone number, SMS, Contact, Calendar 
event, and Geo location. There’s also a Validate option, 
which analyzes the QR code to ensure it can be read by 
QR code readers, smartphones, and scanners.
