Which Corel Suite is best to export files to open in illustrator? Graphics Suite or Technical Suite?

I need to export many many files from Corel to edit them in Illustrator. Which Suite would be the best to do so?

 

I know both the Graphics Suite and the Technical Suite include Corel Draw, which is what I mainly need. But for some reason, the website says the Technical Suite supports "dynamic svg". What is that? Could that help me export better svg files from Corel? maybe opening the Draw files in some other Corel program and exporting them as "dynamic svgs"?

 

The svg files that I have tried to export so far are very messy. All the images and effects are cut into tiny pieces. Exporting to svg is not the method I've been using so far, but I'm curious about the dynamic svgs, and specially, wich Suite to get that will help me work better files in Illustrator

Dynamic SVGs are meant to be viewed on internal tech doc systems and similar. They're sliced up to allow dynamic zooming and panning and adaptive loading of components into specific view areas to allow e.g. viewing of large construction plans and instructional drawings on different devices. This has no relevance for your Illustrator workflow.

CorelDRAW is in both suites, so it really depends on if you need/want the other software that comes with it. If you are on Windows, you can also get the CorelDRAW Standard rather than a suite.

Suitable file formats would be:

AI (Corel can export it)

PDF

EPS

SVG as you have already tried

 

You'll have to expect some sort of flattening and general disorganisation. Try out those formats and see which one works best.
