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...
pap said:*a PROUD D-610 SUMMA SIGN / this has nonstop work from 199
Yes. Summa is nice and my brand of choice as far as printers and cutters.
I run many Summa cutters. My oldest is a d620 which I refurbished. It gave me many good years until I plugged it in to a faulty electrical outlet one day. It now sports a new "used" motherboard, new belts, and other misc parts.
Draw 9 was good and so were the memories of using it, but I can't do without my macros. I liked CorelScript and got a few things done but with the power of macros and X5 I feel like a one man army...lol
It's X5 for me now!

PS. If I have ever have any complex items to Contour I usually use "the other guy"

make me an undo macro please
pap said: THE ONLY SOLUTION COREL GET BACK US TO VERSION 9!!! (X9 maybe ) Cheers
THE ONLY SOLUTION
That was the version that was so buggy that I'd finally had enough and I called up Corel and asked for a full refund! I don't remember a particular release that was ever stable, but X5 seems to be the most stable ever for me. Still, it feels cheap and unrefined compared to Adobe products, but it doesn't seem to be crashing by the minute or second anymore.
