Corel DESIGNER lets you add 3D models as 2D vector graphics to your illustrations. Before importing a graphic into Corel DESIGNER, you must open it with XVL Studio 3D Corel Edition. After you open the 3D image, you can preview it from different angles. For example, you can specify parallel or perspective projected views. You can also change the position, orientation, and size of a 3D model, and you can create cross-sections. When you are satisfied with the view of the 3D model in XVL Studio 3D Corel Edition, you can import it as a 2D vector graphic into the active drawing or save it for later use.
XVL Studio 3D Corel Edition lets you import files saved to the following 3D file formats:
• |
AutoCAD (DWG and DXF)
|
• |
3ds Max (3DS)
|
• |
VRML
|
• |
Universal 3D (U3D)
|
If you want to use additional file formats, you can upgrade to XVL Studio 3D CAD Corel Edition, which supports native 3D CAD file formats including CATIA, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and NX. It also supports 3D CAD exchange formats such as JT, IGES, STEP, and Parasolid.
For a detailed list of the 3D CAD file formats supported by XVL Studio 3D CAD Corel Edition, see the Help system within XVL Studio 3D Corel Edition.
