Corel DESIGNER (CorelDRAW Technical Suite September 2022 Subscriber Update)
New and enhanced! Support for the Google Web Picture (*.webp) file format
Corel DESIGNER now offers support for the Google Web Picture (*.webp) file format. This open standard format developed by Google provides lossless and lossy compression for images designed for use on the web. WEBP lossless images are smaller than PNGs, and WEBP lossy images are smaller than JPEG images. You can import WEBP files as you would any other supported files. When you export a file to the WEBP format, you can choose from several presets to suit your needs, or create a new preset and save it for future use. Advanced settings, such as quality and compression ratio give you flexibility and control over the compression factor for RGB channels and the ratio between encoding speed, file size, and quality, respectively. Image transparency is maintained on both import and export. For more information, see Google Web Picture (WEBP).
New and enhanced! Create a New Document dialog box
The Create a New Document dialog box has been redesigned to provide a central location for starting drawings. The dialog box now has two tabs, Document Settings and Templates, so you can switch between views with ease.
On the Document Settings tab (File 
New), you can start a blank drawing by specifying document settings or choosing a preset. Corel DESIGNER lets you search and browse a wide selection of print, web, device-specific, and social media presets. Presets include predefined settings for page size and orientation, primary color mode, units of measurement, and resolution. For example, the LinkedIn Cover preset from the Social category uses pixels instead of inches, landscape orientation, RGB color and has the dimensions required for a LinkedIn cover image. To find presets more easily, Corel DESIGNER lets you filter them by category and page type and sort them by name, date, and page size. For more information, see Start and open drawings.
On the Templates tab (File New from Template), you can start a drawing from a template. The interfaces for filtering and sorting templates and accessing local and network folders have been reorganized to help you quickly find the templates you need. For more information, see Find templates.
Corel DESIGNER lets you easily scale a portion of an object or image to a specific size. The time-saving Scale portion tool lets you resize a portion of an object to fit a desired dimension. For example, if you need a door to be seven feet tall, you simply specify that value and then drag vertically along the door to scale it. You can also use the interactive Fit to Reference tool, which offers greater accuracy when resizing an object to fit into another object. For example, this handy new tool lets you simultaneously scale and move a screw to fit perfectly into a specific nut. For more information, see Size and scale objects.
New and enhanced! CGM hotspots
Corel DESIGNER introduces a new Show/Hide CGM Hotspots button to help you instantly determine which objects contain CGM object data. A quick toggle will display hotspots with a distinctive blue hatch, eliminating a laborious process of sifting through objects one-by-one to identify CGM hotspots. This is particularly convenient for working with S1000D content that contains interactive CGM object data. For more information, see To add or edit data for an object.
New and enhanced! Clear object data from nested groups
When working with elements and groups of elements that contain metadata in Corel DESIGNER, you now have the option to clear data from a single object or from the entire group. This is beneficial when exchanging files or partial designs that contain sensitive metadata you do not want to share.
New and enhanced! Macro and API additions
A new macro and API (setCGMregion) included with Corel DESIGNER helps users quickly add object data for defining objects to meet CGM specifications. The macro and API combination offers flexibility by letting users change macro functionality to suit their needs.
New and enhanced! Cropping artwork to page boundaries on export
Now when you export files to the PNG, JPEG, and GIF formats, you can crop your technical illustration to the boundaries of the drawing page to remove unwanted objects and reduce file size.
New and enhanced! Export docker
CorelDRAW Technical Suite September 2022 Subscriber Update introduces a range of features and enhancements to the Export docker to improve your workflow. Assets and pages can now be exported to three additional formats: Adobe Illustrator (AI), AutoCAD Drawing Database (DWG), and AutoCAD Drawing Interchange Format (DXF). For your convenience, assets and pages can be renamed directly in the Export docker. Plus, the Export button is grayed out when there are no items selected.
New! Updated user interface on Windows 11
To better align with the updated Windows 11 user interface, the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite September 2022 Subscriber Update features rounded corners on the application window and dialog boxes, dialog box shadows, a new application title bar, and snap layouts.
