# CorelDRAW software notes

English pointers from the local cncu.co.za mirror (`T:\U\C\Other-Softwares\CorelDRAW`). **No pricing.** Software installers / ZIPs / MSIs / DMGs / unpacked Setup trees are **not** copied into this KB (URL + local path only). **No standalone English PDF handbook** in this tree (see `manuals/coreldraw/coreldraw-english-notes.md`). **Newer wins:** prefer **2024 Graphics Suite** over 2021 Essentials / 2019 Graphics Suite. **This pass:** first deep URL-only. Live CorelDRAW folder HEAD **200**. Prefer Complete Package ZIP **842535276** bytes (HEAD **200**) over the small bootstrap EXE. InkX skipped.
