The Options in Coreldraw 2019 are incomplete! Where are the RULERS and the NUDGE, DOCUMENTS etc?
You will probably find what you are looking for in Layout > Document Options... (or double click the page frame).A document must be open for this menu to appear.In previous versions all options could be reached from Tools > Options, or with the shortcut Ctrl+J, but some smart-ass thought it was a brilliant idea to split them up into no less than six (6) different dialogs.This means that we have to open and close dialogs to find what we are looking for and the Ctrl+J shortcut only gives us a fraction of all setting.Stupid and counterproductive.
Ronny is right, Corel need to rapidly rethink this and put it back in a state that is convenient and quick for the user, not convenient and simple for the programmers.
Idiotic change. Never mind the time they spent on it when they could have been doing useful bug fixing.
The Option are not incomplete, on this version they split the large Options menu on several sections, but all are on the same place as always: under Tools menu / options. It's not so hard to find it and it's not so different than always
Many people complain because the program looks the same from one version to another, and demanded that the menus and options be redistributed better. But when the company introduces small changes (only divided Options into several sections) other users complain because they change something they were already used to. It is impossible to please everyone.
I agree with Ronny here. I don't think this is an improvement over the way options and settings were accessed in 2018; I think it's worse in a number of ways. Whatever its shortcomings, the previous layout helped the user to see what things are document-based, workspace-based, or global.

For 2019, in my workspace, I would assign Ctrl+J to the menu of options. Then, instead of opening CorelDRAW Options, Ctrl+J pops up this menu:
For someone with "muscle memory" for using Ctrl+J, that might be better than the default assignment.
