Has anyone used the bezier tool in x7? When i "pull the arc" it lags and sometimes doesn't work at all. Anyone else having this issue? I've tried it on 2 separate computers and same thing.
Hello svend; Some computers are faster than others, and if two computers are setup the same way they would take about the same time to do something. I don't have to wait, but I'm luckier than some. you can go into setup and play with the settings to get whats best to use for your system. I Hope this is Some Help, Good Luck.

Hey George, thanks for your reply. I've been using CorelDraw for 10 years and never had this issue until i updated to x7. I am running windows 8, i7 processor, 16gb ram. I guess you aren't having the same issue in x7?
I will try that, thanks.
A further thought ... what are you doing with the beziers? Is there something behind the bezier? Is it a bit image? Perhaps you are manually tracing a bit image?
If you are, then that could be the reason. Every time you move the bezier, CorelDraw and/or windows must redraw that bit image.
So, if you do have a bit image behind your bezier, try temporarily halving its resolution, which will have the effect of reducing the number of pixels to a quarter. See if it also reduces the time taken.
Harry, its to do with something going on as a background process. I have noticed it when tracing a bitmap, an 18mega pixel image, occasionally it lags, if you open a Task Manager window, highlight CPU column, keep it on top then go about your work, every time it lags the Draw CPU is higher than normal.
Dont know what Draw is doing but its defintely something and its noticeable. And its not redraw related as for the most part its fine, just every so often it lags.

I now think the raised CPU level is coincidence, possibly. It definitely happens when dragging exactly horizontal or vertical for me.
