Trial and electronic versions are now available for download, and the product will start shipping before the end of March in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Dutch.

CorelDraw Graphics Suite X5 includes the new Corel Connect, an application that synchronizes with both CorelDraw and Corel Photo-Paint to provide quick access to content on a computer, network or disc. Graphics Suite X5 also provides access to 10,000 clipart files, 1,000 high-resolution, royalty-free images, 1,000 fonts, 2,000 vehicle templates and 350 design templates, according to the company.

Other new or upgraded tools include the B-Spline tool, scalable arrowheads, Connector and Dimension tools, and the new Segment Dimension tool.
