CorelDraw is a professional vector graphics software that includes additional tools like Corel TRACE and Corel PHOTO-PAINT. It uses Windows shortcuts and allows for custom shortcuts. The workspace can be configured by defining page size. There are basic drawing tools like Freehand, Rectangle, Ellipse, and Polygon tools. Dockers provide quick access to commands and allow modifying objects. The Transformation Docker precisely moves, rotates, mirrors, sizes, and skews objects. Fills and outlines can be set and objects aligned using various methods in the Arrange menu.
