Corel DRAW 12 is a vector
graphics editor developed and marketed by Corel Corporation of Ottawa,
Canada. It is also the name of Corel’s Graphics Suite, which bundles
CorelDraw with a bitmap image editor, Corel PhotoPaint, and other
graphics-related programs (see below). The latest version is designated
X6 (equivalent to version 16), and was released in March 2012.
Corel DRAW 12 has capabilities of Dynamic guides, Smart Drawing
tools, Export to MS Office or Word option, Virtual Segment Delete tool,
Unicode text support.
Corel DRAW was originally developed for Microsoft Windows 3 and
currently runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. The current
version, X6, was released on 20 march 2012.
Versions for Mac OS and Mac OS X were at one time available, but due
to poor sales these were discontinued. The last port for Linux was
version 9 (released in 2000, it didn’t run natively; instead, it used a
modified version of Wine to run) and the last version for OS X was
version 11 (released in 2001). Also, up until version 5, CorelDRAW was
developed for Windows 3.1x, CTOS and OS/2.
Problems installing or running older versions of Corel Draw under Windows 7 may be overcome by using Microsoft’s “Troubleshoot Compatibility” — right-click on the setup.exe file on the installation disk to select this facility (tested on version 12 with Windows 7, where previous attempts without Microsoft “Troubleshoot Compatibility” failed).

Over time, additional components were
developed or acquired and bundled with CorelDRAW. The list of bundled
packages usually changes somewhat from one release to the next, though
there are several mainstays that have remained in the package for many
releases now, including PowerTRACE (a bitmap to vector graphic
converter), PHOTO-PAINT (a bitmap graphic editor), and CAPTURE (a screen
capture utility).
