CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 - part 4 of 1 2 3 4

Duplex Printing

This is a simple utility to assist in duplex printing. It works on a wizard basis, instructing you to feed paper to the printer and report the positions and side of various numbers. It is something that you can do yourself with a clear head but the utility takes a bit of the strain!

Bar Codes

The bar code generator remains as part of the suite so that one is generated from the number that you feed to the program; this is then relayed to the clipboard for placement in a page layout program. All the common bar code types are catered for other than the latest QR, 2-D bar codes.

Connect

Corel Connect is an asset managment utility for keeping track of your vector and bitmap files. The files may be arranged in a variety of ways including your personalised list of 'Favourites'.

OVERALL

The new suite brings little additional functionality to the party even though the entire coding must have been re-written. CorelDRAW remains really good value for money even though there are a few residual bugs. You can get most things done, but at a fraction of the cost of the equivalent Adobe suite (where you would need CSx Design Standard but still be short of a web design package). As ever, the fonts and clipart are worth the asking price on their own if you do not already have a previous version.

The SRP is £399, the upgrade £179, both excluding VAT. A major issue is that the software is Windows only.
