Definition: Corel DESIGNER


A full-featured Windows drawing program from Alludo (formerly Corel) that was widely used by technical illustrators. Originally developed by Micrografx, which was acquired by Corel in 2001, Corel DESIGNER was a very sophisticated vector graphics program providing many features of a CAD program, including layers and dimensioning. DESIGNER generated its own file types (DRW, DS4 and DSF) and also imported and exported all major graphics formats. DESIGNER was the first application to bring the graphics capabilities of the Mac to the Windows platform back in the days of Windows 3.0. In 2013, DESIGNER was folded into the CorelDRAW Technical Suite. See CorelDRAW and Alludo.
