Corel Draw Version 4.0 is said to be the most ambitious computer
software. What makes it ambitious is that it promises to be the
ultimate tool for any computer graphics design and that it
claims to be a bug-free software. The promotion was impressive
but it appeared to have disappointed many CorelDraw users.
Many thought that Corel Draw version 7 will not be of any
difference. Surprisingly, it gave them another dose of hope, a
new and better software to give them professional-quality logos,
special effects and illustrations.
This version focuses on interface, speed and maintenance. It is
composed of Corel Photo Paint 7 and Corel Dream 3d7. One of the
features included is the Template Wizard script. This allows you
to create templates from saved files, reducing the time wasted
in making templates. It also enables you to work on templates
you created on other Corel draw versions, just add the templates
on your template wizard. New template samples as well as
templates for Paper Direct papers are included.
There is the Welcoming Screen that explains how vector images
differ from bitmap images and how you can export them.
Customizing keyboards and tools are also discussed. The purpose
of the color manager is to instruct user how to manipulate color
producing devices so that it will work well with Corel software.
Also, there are shortcut keys and management tools for saving
and organizing files.
Corel Draw 7 offers a much better scripting tool. You can use
these tools to set styles and dimensions. You can set up your
page using the property bar.
A scrapbook feature, which gives access to Draw 7, was included.
Draw 7 is a collection of fills, cliparts, photos, designs and
outlines. Use the Options Dialog Box for instructions on how to
nudge or duplicate drawing options or adjust backups.
A new version was created, an upgrade from Photo-Paint and Corel
Draw, the Select version. It contains a full version of the two
programs. It’s not just a drawing program; it is also used for
desktop publishing and professional photo image editing. It has
a built in thesaurus and spell checker as well as 450 ready-made
professional looking templates. However, this version does not
have other features included in the original Corel 7. The
graphics library is limited and has fewer fonts as compared to
the latter.
With Corel Draw 7, you can create realistic shadows and fix text
inside objects or closed path.
