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.

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.

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.

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.
