Smoothing objects: CorelDRAW X7 provides a 

new Smooth tool that you can use to remove jagged 
edges and reduce nodes in curve objects. You can 
control the smoothing effect by varying the size of the 
brush nib, the speed at which the effect is applied, and 
by using the pressure of your digital pen or stylus.

Alignment Guides: The new Alignment Guides 

in Corel PHOTO-PAINT X7 help you position objects more 
quickly, appearing on the fly with suggested alignments 
to other nearby objects. You can use the new Alignment 
Guides docker to view, set up, and modify alignment 
guides. And with new margin alignment guides, you can 
now specify inset and offset values when aligning an 
object relative to another object.
