Hello - I am a long-time CorelDraw user and am trying to transition away from Windows in Parallels to running natively on the Mac (MBP 2019 i9 32GB ram) soon to be transitioning to an MBP M1 Max. I have some issues with key shortcuts but mostly have bad performance problems I am hoping someone can help with.
First the performance issues, I have a drawing, and almost every time I select something I get the spinning beachball it just takes forever to select and deselect objects, move, align etc. I had much better performance running on Windows virtualized in Parallels than native. Here is a link to a quick screengrab of some of the issues: https://www.screencast.com/t/bDjcgtLPcz I am using Hardware acceleration with the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M.
Additionally, when I select an object it is just laggy, taking a second or so to select it after clicking. The simpler the file the quicker it is but these are not crazy files and not an issue on the Windows version. I would expect better performance for a native application.
Regarding the new Mac interface I have a couple of questions:
Thanks for your help. I hope I can resolve the issues.
Hi Alex,
i have still been working with Corel Draw on the mac and it is okay but still the same problems as before. Disappointing to not get a response from Corel. I am also considering making the switch from Corel to AI as well since I already have it anyway. The biggest problem I have is all the old CDR files and accessing them in the future as needed.
