Hi All
I made the BigJump from 9 to X4 some months ago , time to say something about, feelings are really mixted
from one side i loved the new interface, how X4 handles PDF was the great thing for me , awesome feature was for me the export for office option (png power :) ) smart guides helped some, but i really miss ver 9 speed
even for dummy files X4 is a big turtle, i have the feeling of "jumping" graphics (like "lag" in games) tested illustrator CS5 in same machine was EXTREMELY SPEEDER ,damn if i didnt have the Unicode fonts issue i d thrown that turtle away... its hard to say that for the software that i do my job from 1991 but ver 9 was the GOLD version -Damn Corel MAKE A FAST and STABLE programm with only a few features
Really dissapointed blame myself that i didnt started with Mac /illustrator platform...

Sorry that put my leg inside your field
KuttyJoe said:Corel does not need a macro to make a drop shadow
when i say need a macro to do smtg mean need to do it as must be (dont say me that is the same quality Draw / iLL shadow.....)
KuttyJoe said:LOL It was doing stuff like that I suppose a decade before Illustrator. A lot of other stuff too.
my answer is what u try to answer
KuttyJoe said:I suppose you don't really know all that much about Corel Draw.
i use a program to make to make GOOD and EASY tasks about my job, if for to do a simple CLEAN and NICE thing (as drop Shadow p.e.) must examine the core libraries, or all macro helpers yes that i dont WANT to know much about
KuttyJoe said:I kind of agree with your general feelings
My feelings bout X4 experience i draw here :)
Cheers

Have you tried adding Corel to your AV exclusion list.? That can often speed the application up.

HI.
Maybe. But I think this thread is referring to the basic fact.
Install both and the older app can just do things faster. Load 1000 items on the screen and fly!
Did we have that much less work way back when. No, but when you upgrade make sure you got the power because the app sure will need it.
A few new tools perhaps but why the slow down?
Also look at the contour tool. You better not contour any complex items unless you need a bathroom break.

for this issue most times i use the Convert Outline to Object / does more accurate work , even if need some more steps (*but fast enough to dont get time to be angry ) , can make also interesting things w dots, round corners etc...i use it most for my vinyl cutter (*a PROUD D-610 SUMMA SIGN / this has nonstop work from 1991
THE ONLY SOLUTION
