This useless joke of a software crashed 6 no 8 times today 5 times friday 4 or 5 times on thursday I dont care to think about the beggining of last week. YEAH THIS SOFTWARE IS WONDERFUL Makes me wonder what the hell Im using it for.... Oh yeah I dont have a choice. Laughable huh? Yeah whats more.... EVERYONE blames my system HA! My system is solid. Strange how CORELDRAW WAS CRAP on 3 other machines and countless versions except 12. Version 7 and up to X4 Suck...... whats the X for ?10? NO its a warning LOL!!!!
I dont require a reply. Just needed to express my frustration and let those who are not familiar with Corel know to think twice before Blowing thier hard earned $$$$$$
Suport? what suport hahahahah
I dont have that problem myself. Sorry to hear you have a bad day. Use the F8 key, re-install, or why not see if it is something else bugging in the background. A classic dll file?? Have you been installing and reinstalling different software on myour computer?. Hey there many reason to why yu might have a bad day with CDGS.
Well lets see. Ive used Corel Draw since version 7. How many operating systems has windows come out with since then?. Well Ive had Corel Draw On Win 95 It sucked then. Crashed all the time. Everyday. On win 2000 it Crashed all the time every day too.. I was on nt for a short time. It crashed then too but had more problems with color and image flipping than crashing. Had Corel on XP with countless service packs (win) and have never had more problems. Its not like a person can go back to win 95 (if they wanted to.) So. How many computers would one have to buy to stay current. 3 or 4 Ive been through. So Then how can it be A system problem. You buy 5 pairs of shoes and they all hurt you in the same place. Think its the shoes or your foot? So thats cleared that up. I work for a bonified multimillion dollar per anum company. We cannot afforord to risk Pirated software. We got one of those SUCKER accounts where every time there's an upgrade its sent to us. So no its not Pirated. The problems I have, no-one else will 'fess up to. I cannot seriously believe that no one else has problems. The other staff that I work with Cuss out their installs of this "software" Just not as much as me. Perhaps Im just more vocal.
"Hey Andy, Mine works fine"! Good for you! You are very very very lucky. Perhaps you dont have one or two day turn arounds with complex drawings. where your fingers move faster than ur dual processor 512 ram 2 gig machine can keep up!
This newest system was wiped clean. Used a 3 or 5 times wipe util to clean it. CorelDraw was first on after windows. So........ figure that one out.
Problems....
1) Use the node pick tool to area select nodes with geometry behind. It will select it too then crash.
2) Crash and corel crashes again during the crash. HAH thats frigging great. LAUGHABLE
3) Dig select until you hit a bitmap. Crash
4) open a document with missing fonts. Bitstream kicks in, crashes Adobe Distiller then hangs permanantly.
5) Open a document. it crashes and offers a rescue then crashes when opening the rescue.
6) Power clip a screen shot. Will more than likely make the file un-openable again.
7) Close a file with a days work. Come in and open it the next day to an empty page.
8) spend a while arranging layers and naming them. Go into a powerclip and come back out AFTER TWENTY BLOODY HOURS and find your layers have mysteriously renamed themselves.
9) Layers Dissapear but select an object on that layer and the layer name still shows up in the property bar.
10) Layer Docker dissapears completely. I have a nice desktop to look at through the hole though. LAUGHABLE
11) Power clip into a group. Happens accidentally but is still possible. Ouch.
12) Open a document. Crash. Stran

there is soooooo much more that I cannot recall right now.
ok the f8 thing. Hmmmmmm I dont believe I have EVER seen software that claims on itself that you have to reset the workspace because it gets unstable. HOW WEAK. Thats complete BS. (Corel) Try coding a solid GUI instead. Isnt that what we pay for??? Lets just stop patching patched patches with hot fix glue. stop releasing x4 x5 x6 x7 x8 and concentrate on a solid app. Charge a lil more and things will work.
I have done everything in my power to get this app to 'behave'. It wont. So now I am committed to slamming it since over the last ten or so years ive been steadily and increasingly slammed by it.
Everyone says OOOOOOH I dont have that problem or We cant recreate that. Well then I guess Im a liar and this is all a figment of my imagination. I enjoy wasting more time after crashing, posting grievences. Trust me. I do give credit where credit is due. For instance..... thank god after 5 years of complaining Corel finally changed the double click bitmap annoyance. I think, too, that some but not all of the bitmap effects with transparency work properly now aswell. The node count on contours, I believe has been addressed also. Thats wonderful. It helps with the mem load.
Fix the powerclip, Fix the node tool, Fix the text. My god fix the text. Scrap bitstream or something I dont know what but It sux. Fix the layers pallette.
Well Im done.... sorry for all that but hey......
with deepest sorrow and regret,
Andy
