It is now July and I still do not see any new bug fixes to correct the multitude of issues with this latest design of CorelDraw 2019. I have every current update installed and am wondering if the new owners(a hedge fund) even care about quality? I know I would definitely want to have people who use my products to be able to give glowing recommendations, but with 2019 it is becoming difficult to recommend it to my peers. While there have always been issues with Corel, particularly exporting as an EPS file, for the most part, the design aspects have performed as expected. But now there are a bunch of issues that make it difficult to convert to and I find I have to continue using 2018 to get reliable production done. This is the worst upgrade I have ever purchased from Corel and they should be ashamed they released it with it being so buggy! Any news on updates would be appreciated because I feel they sold me a lemon, and worse they keep dropping the upgrade price without any fixes available which have me concerned that they don't intend to fix it.
I do not deny that there are some problems in CorelDRAW 2019, particularly speed. In fact, there are bugs in all versions, the difference is that some may be relevant to you and the others pass unnoticed, as they do not affect your daily work.
I work with CorelDARW 2019 every day without problems, although I notice that particular font handling is not as fast as in previous versions.
What are the most important problems for you?
The find/replace still sucks, even after the second update. This makes my work incredibly slow and tedious, since I now have to replace colors manually. I can't seem to get the program to remember my default settings, although I'm constantly resetting and telling the program to use as default. The graphic issues are incredibly annoying, having the screen freeze while you're working on something. I find this version bulky and difficult to work with. At least they fixed the object manager so now I can get details on the fills/outlines. I could go on...
Did you check under Tools and the second one down is where the placed the Save Options as Default. I missed this at first because I was using the Settings wheel under the menus to set options but it didn't retain them and then I found that and it seems to work just fine. At least so far!
Yup. I've hit that a multitude of times. I used to be able to save my envelope setting to come up the same every time, but can't in this version...
