New! Interactive placement of imported 3D 

views: 

When you import 3D views in Corel 

DESIGNER X6, you can place them and resize them 

interactively similarly to other imported objects.

New! Freehand Pick tool: 

The new Freehand Pick 

tool lets you marquee select objects by dragging 

around areas of irregular shape. This save you time 

by providing greater control over object selection 

and transformation.

New! Context-sensitive Property Manager 

docker: 

In Corel DESIGNER X6, the redesigned 

Property Manager docker now presents only 

object-dependent formatting options and 

properties. By grouping all object settings in one 

location, this time-saving docker helps you fine-

tune your designs faster than ever before.

For example, if you create a rectangle, the Property 

Manager docker automatically presents outline, fill, 

and corner formatting options, as well as the 

rectangle’s properties. If you create a text frame, 

the docker instantly displays character, paragraph, 

and frame formatting options, as well as the text 

frame’s properties.

New! Multi-core processor support: 

Corel 

DESIGNER X6 has been optimized for the latest 

multi-core processors. The increased support lets 

you keep working while the suite performs 

resource-intensive tasks in the background. The 

result is fast and responsive performance, which 

means less waiting when you export files, print 

multiple documents, or copy and paste large 

objects.

New! Native 64-bit support: 

With support for 

64-bit processors, CorelDRAW Technical Suite X6 

applications enable you to work faster than ever 

before with large, data-rich files.

New & Enhanced! Master layers: 

With Corel 

DESIGNER X6, the new and improved odd, even, 

and all-pages Master Layers make it easier to create 

page-specific designs for your multi-page 

documents. If you are laying out multi-page 

documents, such as parts catalogs and user
