Serif DrawPlus X5


Recommended Posts

I had Serif DrawPlus 5 on an old computer.  I loved it, it did everything I needed.  Is there a programme that has all of the features of DrawPlus that I can by for Windows 10 on a laptop.  thank you.

Hi and welcome to the forums. Affinity Designer is an illustration program so it is similar to DrawPlus but it is a newer program and is not identical. It has many more features but there are probably some features that it doesn't have.

There's a free trial version so I recommend downloading it and trying it yourself. It is compatible with Windows 10 but the full details are available from here:

DrawPlus has a Blend Tool, a Connector Tool, and a Dimension Tool, all of which have yet to find their way into Affinity Designer. DrawPlus X5 should install and run OK on Windows 10, but you won’t be able to install it unless you have a valid product key.

Many thanks MikeTO and Alfred.  It sounds as though Designer is the one I should go for, but if there is a chance I could get DrawPlus onto my Windows 10 laptop, I might go to our computer bod to see if he can do it - I have the cd and product code but haven’t been able to load it.  I have 2 options now, thank you 🙏🏼

DrawPlus installs on Windows 10 and 11.

If you hop over to https://punster.me/serif and follow the registration instructions, someone may be able to save you a visit to your “computer bod” once you’ve described the problem in more detail.
