Officially, Corel jumped from (released 2005) straight to CorelDRAW X3 (2006). The “X3” wasn’t Roman numeral for 13 — it stood for “X³” (X cubed), part of a new branding scheme. But if you dig into the version metadata, help files, or internal build numbers, you’ll find that X3 was technically version 13.0 .
