Program crashes unexpectedly while performing various tasks (e.g., saving, printing, copying, pasting, etc., etc.). So far no tweaks suggested by Corel tech support over the last 3 months have resolved the problem. I exclusively use CorelDRAW to make life/safety diagrams of medical facilities. Typical workflow is to import PDF of existing diagram, ungroup, edit, save, and export new diagram to PDF for distribution. I am an experienced CDGS user, and am using a new Dell computer (plenty of RAM, good GPU, Windows 11, and all the software is up to date. Crashes less often when I perform my edits at a snail’s pace, but even then it crashes unexpectedly…seems like the program is having a problem managing multi-tasks. I’m sure that other CorelDRAW users have experienced this problem and hopefully found a solution. I joined the CorelDRAW community to find a solution. HELP!
Here are a couple screen captures of my typical work experience, no crashes very few if any slowdowns. I have 6 programs open and I still can use edit bitmap to send my screen captures from one place to another. I have over 5GB of files in memory, using transparency and large images.
Ok, so it is obvious that is what you need for your typical work experience.
So how does that relate to my typical work experience CorelDRAW - 2 or 3 files open?
No crashes today, but three yesterday with the same conditions.
None of my resources are strained, in fact there's plenty of headroom.
Again there's nothing on my PC other than for work, no games or extraneous software all on a fresh Win 10 install. CDR is the latest version and up to date as well
Yet I get the random crash, maybe I farted?
There have been issues with Logitech products and CorelDRAW reported on this forum, I use both a Logitech Mouse and Keyboard.
I'm assuming that you zoom after the save command has finished, if so this may be a graphics card resource issue.
I never had any issues with Logitech and with this older particular mouse.
Yes I see the Floppy Disk icon for saving and saves do not take that long to finish.
My graphic card is hardly ticking over. Even with huge building site AutoCAD files or Sketchup files I don't have any graphic card issues.
Even zooming after save does not always result in a crash, however as I am more alert this will cause a crash although randomly.
I have a hard time troubleshooting as I cannot replicating issues, I rarely run into problems. Here's a screen capture of the memory use from today's job.
Thanks David!
As I said it's random! Even today I tried to crash CDR with the save and zoom and nothing. I have SketchUp open as well. Barely moving the resource needles.
Tomorrow could be different.
However I did manage to crash CorelDRAW by importing a SVG file which CorelDRAW is meant to be compatible with.
FRONT-211254.zip
This what is in the zip file
As CorelDRAW does not support single line fonts (OPF) used a online single line font generator which I used in the past. However today CRASH.
This would be a nice feature for CorelDRAW to have. There is a TTF version but the engraver / plotter would go over the line twice instead on once for the OPF version.
Thanks again David!
Cheers
It crashes CD 2020, 2023 and 2024, import or open
