Hi all,
My copy/paste operations take several seconds. I'm copying very simple objects, lines, rectangles, etc. but regardless of the size of the object, a copy/paste operation takes 3-5 seconds. It's annoying. What the heck can Corel do for such a long time?? Is there a switch to turn off something?
Hi
I know how it is annoying to wait to cut/copy & paste for small objects. Why don't you try using other methods like
1. Pressing '+' on the NumPad while dragging an object
2. Left mouse dragging and Pressing right mouse button before releasing the left mouse button
3. 'CTRL + D' for duplicating the selected object.

Anand, thanks for the input. Actually I'm using the shortcuts you mentioned but they are not working with multiple pages/multiple documents. Yes, I can drag the object from one page to another or one document to another but I cand place at the exactly same position. Eg. I want to duplicate a frame on a second page at the same position. Drag-and-drop does not help here, nor snapping turned on because on the second page I have no object to snap to.
Or the + key and move to the paste board.
The other option is to use a clipboard manager. You can turn off some of the clipboard formats. I haven't timed this but you can.

Clipmate I thought was great. But being mean I'm back to using ditto which is a tad retarded.
I just tested it and copy and paste is instantaneous. Maybe you have too many levels of undo. Or is the file a big one or does this happen on any file. Soemthing's up that's for sure because it shouldn't take 3-5 secs!
