CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5

So you're giving up because you can't add Zoom (not sure exactly what you mean, please elaborate) to a toolbar? [:|]

New versions, especially with a new interface, takes some time to get used to. Sometimes we even have to find new ways to work, and often (from my own experience) these new ways proves to be more efficient than the old ones.

Think out of the box, I'm not that young either but thinking that everything must be just the way it was won't help us.

See the quote from John Steinbeck below

The Zoom tool just happens to be one item going on at the moment that I am struggling with - don't want to use this forum to go beyond the purpose of the forum. I really don't want to give up-so I will stay in and keep going. In X5, I could go to Windows in the Menu, scroll down to Tool Bar, click on Zoom and the Zoom features would appear in the Toolbar to stay. In X7, I click on Windows in Toolbar, scroll to Zoom, and a box appears showing the % but the features are grayed out. What I am trying to do is what would be called in X5 is to customize the user interface, in this situation, add the Zoom tool to the Tool bar along with the Zoom features. How can I do this in X7? Also, can you recommend a good, detail tutorial I can use for X7? I use X7 primary to make Scrollsaw patterns, drawing, etc.

If you right click any toolbar and then check the "Zoom" item, how much of what you need would that give you?

Hello Agin no1texzn; I'm Sorry to hear about your job. But X7 is something I use Everyday When I'm Working... I'm 68 now and still making signs! I bough a sign cutter in 1990 and started cutting vinyl ( instead of painting signs.)( I still have my brushes but I don't use them much any more.) You could sell business cards & flyers and out source the printing of them. ( I use Navitor.com ) I pick up between $300 to $500 a week playing with them in Corel. I don't mess with less than a 1,000 in a order at a time. There is A Lot to learn working for your self when you don't have someone that does the graphics for you, I even build the computers I use.... Go ON Ought There and make some Money, selling the graphics you make. You could talk to some of the sign shops about helping them out Learning Draw...............Buy The Way X7 is a Good program..........
