Corel today announced the availability of two free updates for Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite X5 and for CorelCAD. The updates include additions to extend the file format capabilities in both products, application improvements related to dimension tools, improved PDF functionality and 3D visualization enhancements.

Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite X5 is a solution for visual technical communications. Designed for technical illustrators and technical graphic users, the update adds enhancements to precision tools, improved and enhanced support for industry standards such as WebCGM 2 and SVG, and an updated Deep Exploration CE application included.

The update also includes improved SVG support for Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers; enhanced CGM v4 (ActiveCGM, WebCGM, S1000D) support; and a new "manual explode" tool for creating exploded views of complex 3D assemblies in Deep Exploration CE.

CorelCAD delivers native DWG support, and the ability to seamlessly navigate between 2D and 3D environments. Updates include new CorelDRAW Import support, enabling Windows users to refine their drafts and sketches; new PDF Underlay Functionality enabling CAD users to work with published PDFs as references in .DWG files; and enhanced STL export allowing direct connection to 3D printers for creating physical prototypes from 3D solid modeling done in CorelCAD.
