Hi
It's probably too early to tell but I was wondering what other people's experience is with 2020 performance so far. Is it Cdr 2019 that actually works. There's a number of features in 2019 that are really useful for my workflow - or would be if the program was reliable. I've largely been working in 2018 all year, its successor being so erratic.
I've been with Coreldraw long enough not to expect it to be 100% stable. I've experienced one crash but that was possibly asking too much of the photorealistic function in Trace. Strictly speaking I'm not much bothered about the new 2020 features (or overly impressed). I'm reluctant to pay out for something that should have been fixed in the previous version but my trial runs out in a few days and I'm not committing any more cash untill I'm sure this version works.
Thanks, Colin
Bob I don't know if this is arrogance or stupidity on the part of Corel. The 2020 release is simply the continuation of the behaviors we've seen since X6. My new contract has me replacing a $40,000 a year expenditure in software in just 1 company.
CorelDRAW is not over priced it's just not good enough interms of reliability. It doesn't help that young designers are dumb as a rotted stump but Corel needs to program for that.
Hi again
Anybody help with my earlier queries;
1. What happens to files created in a subscribed 2020 if I choose not to update next year? Would the program simply blink out with files lost or rather unopenable.
and
2. If I resubscibe in, say, 2022 - missing a year - would the earlier 2020 files open in 2022?
Thanks
I wouldn't want to feed you BS, only Corel knows and they are not talking.

1. We can only guess but I'd suggest to save a copy of all files in your last perpetual version's file format, in case you decide not to renew subscription.
Can be done via a macro.2. I can see no reason why your two - three year old files shouldn't open.
Thanks Ronny
I figured that would be the case. I've been saving downwards from 2019 to 2018 for any important file as a precaution against instability for most of the year. If I choose to subscribe guess I'll have to do the same, though for different reasons.
One last question, is 2020 (the full program) available on disc as opposed to download?
