Parallel drawing

To speed up the creation of all kinds of technical graphics, from wiring diagrams to architectural designs, Corel DESIGNER has added the Parallel Drawing mode. It allows you to simultaneously draw multiple parallel curves while controlling the distance between them. In addition, you can set the distance between the original line and the parallel line by specifying a value or dragging in the document.

Corel DESIGNER lets you create single or multiple parallel lines and preview them as you draw. You can also add parallel lines to an existing line.
