So it leads to some confusion and tension over what will be changed in your artwork. That sounds simple, but unfortunately it doesn't work the same way it does in version X6. When saving artwork in CorelDRAW X7 down to an earlier version (even when the artwork opened was created in an earlier version of CorelDRAW) you'll see a dialog box giving you choices to preserve appearance or keep the artwork editable. I see some of the same questions asked there, with hardly any real answers. I'm wondering if the engineers and marketing people putting together this application even bother to try using it.īTW, even though I use Adobe Illustrator as well, I'll be the first to say Illustrator has a LOT of room for improvement too. Um, how about the freaking fundamental color flyout where far more controls over fill and stroke are available!!!?
It's gone in X7! It's replaced by other junk I don't use nearly as much like a transparency tool, interactive fill tool, smart fill tool. Here's one gripe: where is the freaking color flyout on the standard tool bar? You could go deep into uniform fill, outline color, fountain fill and a couple other things on this very essential tool bar fly-out. What are the folks at Corel thinking? Are they trying to sort of copy the tool and command layout from Adobe Illustrator? Or are they just changing things just for the sake of change? Is there any settings I might be missing in CorelDRAW X7 to make it behave properly when saving files down to earlier versions, be it X6, X5 or X3?Īnother hugely annoying thing: various commands in the X7 user interface have been re-arranged and some very standard items have been deleted from tool bars and menus. I can understand the differences with Illustrator, but when it's happening between the current version of Corel and a recent version (even X6) it's very unacceptable. This is just as bad as opening Corel-generated fills in Adobe Illustrator or vice versa. The differences are most apparent on radial fills. If I save down to version X5 or X3 the file reads back in with the fountain fill changed dramatically.
#COREL X5 REDUCE NODES HOW TO#
Version X7 apparently has no clue how to correctly save down to an earlier version of CorelDRAW and keep fountain fills properly generated. This evening I found another even more annoying thing.
#COREL X5 REDUCE NODES UPDATE#
Version X7 won't leave you alone about the update text nonsense until you do it.
Version X6 will ask you to update text when reading in an older version CDR file.
#COREL X5 REDUCE NODES TRIAL#
I recently installed a trial version of CorelDRAW X7 on my notebook at home, just after doing a factory reset to clear out some garbage that occurred from a recent series of "not ready for prime time" Windows patches.Īnyway, I'm finding more things I don't like about CorelDRAW X7 than things that rank in the positive. For the past couple or so years I've been using CorelDRAW X5 and X6 between home and work.
