I've been using Coreldraw since 1995. I started with vr.2 and now up to X7. All Coreldraw versions have always been buggy. Some worse than other, but I have to say X7 is the worse. In my opinion, the only worth while thing in X7 is the new Smear Tool. That is one pretty cool tool that is way overdue in this graphics program. The version my co-worker and I were using before we bought X7 is X4. We are now back to using X4 because we have had enough with X7. What a waste of hard earned money. Am I and my co-worker the only ones who feel this way about X7?

please explain every issue you are having or just the main ones causing the stress.
Then, we could assess whether it's solvable, workaround-able, already reported to corel support and is set to be fixed in the September update, or create a new report ticket.
Hi
I agree with ggut. Describe issues or it is a troll post.

We know he's telling the truth so why would you suggest that he's trolling? I think maybe you are the troll. You and other regular trolls around here act as if paying customers are expected to buy the software, then spend time helping Corel to fix bugs.

Easy. Because his post is non-specific and does nothing to move the discussion forward. Instead he asks a question that's subjective at best.
If he's experiencing specific problems, there are existing threads he can add to. If he's found a new bug, he can start a new thread. In either case, specifics might be helpful to the programmers in finding the problem. Longevity is also no indicator of how strong a user he is - whether he uses the program to the fullest, or just in a few areas.
But whining solves nothing, even if he is a long-time user. Most of us are.

I've heard the same in every version, every time a new version of the program comes out. No "almost the same" but exactly the same: "this is the worst version ever", "this version is useless", "I prefer to keep using the older version", etc Some people have said that about X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7 now. I'm not saying that they lie. Except in some cases, they always come and see everything as negative, I guess that is sincere people who have problems and for them is a nightmare.
Two things are repeated every time it launches a new version:
First, a few users say they can not use the program due their mistakes, while the rest is used it daily without problems.
Second, the same people who were saying that one version is the worst in history, when it is launched next claim that the previous version (the same until a few days ago they considered as a hell) is the best version ever.
Some say "I can not believe the program will work well for others" or "Corel should pay you to lie". (Of course, that's not true). I understand what a person feels if the program you need not work well. It's a frustration and need someone to help and give an immediate solution.
Thanks, Kuttyjoe,
I have posted my problems and was not just doing a "hit and run" gripe or "trolling" as it was put. I was expecting a response to my problems, which I made a second post listing specifics with the problems I am encountering in X7. There are a couple of solutions that were suggested, but unfortunately, they were not specific enough for me to follow through.
