CorelDRAW Graphics window includes the entire suite of CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite drawing tools. This mode allows you to create and edit vector graphics using the CorelDRAW Graphics toolset which offers many sophisticated techniques for drafting outlines and shapes onscreen.
In addition to the CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite toolset, CorelDRAW Graphics provides capabilities to convert vectors and vector text directly to embroidery objects. Imported vector graphics or created text can be converted directly to embroidery designs. You can use CorelDRAW Graphics to insert or paste third-party vector graphics such as clipart for use in embroidery designs. Alternatively, insert, paste or scan bitmap artwork for use as digitizing templates or ‘backdrops’. Here are some of the prominent CorelDRAW Graphics interface elements.
