Corel has the ability to represent architectural plans very well, in addition to the "dimensions" tool, it would be interesting to be able to calculate the surface of certain areas.
I use macros for this. Sq ft. or sq in. etc.
That functionality actually exists as "Geometric Information" dialog in Corel DESIGNER in CorelDRAW Technical Suite.
CorelDRAW Technical Suite is the "technical edition" of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, with dedicated technical illustration tools in Corel DESIGNER (that application is fully based on CorelDRAW), and with 3D authoring tools and 3D-to-2D-illustration-conversion functionality in XVL Studio.
More info about CorelDRAW Technical Suite and the free trial version can be found here: www.coreldraw.com/technicalsuite
Note that CorelDRAW Graphics Suite and CorelDRAW Technical Suite cannot be installed in the same version on one computer (as the two products share a lot of applications).
