Not sure if this post has come up before, but here goes:
What does everyone use their CorelDRAW for -- be it version 3 to the new and improved X5 -- from professional applications to just fiddle-farting around with it?
I guess I could start. I do laser engraving in a trophy shop in the Pacific Northwest. My materials are coated metals, acrylics, glass, plastic, and rubber for stamps. I do both raster burning and vector cutting. I have been using CorelDRAW for the last 11 years and although I also have Adobe Illustrator CS and PaintShop Pro on my system, I always use my Corel for 98% of my work.
Everything I can that it makes sense to use it for...
1. the usual Graphics creation... Signs, Posters, decals, donation receipt, cd/dvd jewel case inserts, Sewage tank location plotting, etc.2. Forms... design and data field entry; adding scanned and vectorized signatures3. pdf creation and altering, adding Text in response fields, printing to WinFAX4. adding text to images (scans and digital pix); music chart alterations5. cropping, resizing and resampling images where required; importing AI files for "fixing" occasionally.6. working with design drawings imported from AutoCAD when required to save on job time... eg: Physical Plant layout, Operations Manuals7. Website work (image processing)
