I'm happy to see this change and that CorelDRAW is both catching up and innovating when compared to the competition. A knock on CorelDRAW from some in the past has been that the app falls behind the competition when it comes to new features.
LiveSketch, pixel-perfect alignment, and a powerful symmetry mode stand out to me and there are some other features worth checking out. But I'd like to see a modern design refresh in the future.
Most developers focus on function over looks, as they should. However, while the features of CorelDRAW are impressive, it looks kind of old in my opinion, but that's pretty normal for graphic design applications. The new version of CorelDRAW also has some significant upgrades and new features compared to its 2018 version. Windows users have had the option to use CorelDRAW for a long time, but it's great to see another powerful app that's used by professionals make its way to the Microsoft Store.
Adobe Illustrator can do some mirroring, but I find CorelDRAW's setup to be more intuitive and powerful. This is an excellent tool for a variety of designs and beats the often cumbersome steps needed to do the same process in Affinity Designer. You can use multiple reflection lines to make more advanced reflections. As you make edits on either side of the design, it's mirrored on the other. CorelDRAW has a built-in feature that allows you to pick a reflection line and then have the design be mirrored over it.
I often use advanced grids and pixel alignment to make my designs, and many of them are perfectly symmetrical. I don't know if I would call my work art, but I spend a lot of time making sure that it looks exactly how I'd like it to. I do graphic design as a hobby, including making designs and logos for some American-football teams that I coach. The full feature list is long, but a couple of my favorites are the app's built-in symmetry tools, and the AI-powered LiveSketch feature, both of which are new to this version. Adobe's Illustrator remains an industry standard and even the Microsoft Store is already home to a powerful graphic design application in Affinity Designer (opens in new tab), but CorelDRAW has features that make it stand out. There's no shortage of options when it comes to graphic design software.
