Good morning,is it possible to download somewhere trial version of CorelDRAW for Mac?Thanks!
Sorry, there's no native Mac version, but you can download the trial version and install on Mac using Bootcamp, Parallels or VMware.
Not only is there no MAC version you should not expect to ever see one.
"Ever" is too much time. The world changes too fast, so as James Bond said, "Never Say Never Again". Remember some years ago... Would you have imagined Microsoft and Apple selling phones? Apple computers using Intel processors? Russians and Americans astronauts in the same space station? A few years back, Micrografx Designer competing against CorelDRAW, now CorelDESIGNER is part of CorelDRAW Technical Suite. Adobe bought Freehand , sold it, bought it back and eliminated.
Surely will not happen in the near future, but we can not say "never" after all the changes we have experienced in the last years

I'd rather have some cool new tools like a redesigned envelope tools and other vector tools, rather than a Mac version, lol.
Yea, never say never, pigs might even fly one day

I agree with you, and that's the point: instead to develop a new entire version for a different operating system (with new problems for solve), Corel should fix all problems of the existing version and improve the tools of the current version, not only envelope, also Extrude, Blend, etc, those tools were good 20 years ago but now we need more powerful features. For this reason I said "Surely will not happen in the near future", since there's a lot of job to do before to think about to create a new software.

Some things are just impossible, but I'm not talking about something illogical or impossible. Corel already sell some programs for Mac (http://www.corel.com/corel/category.jsp?cat=cat4650220&storeKey=us&hptrack=mmmore) althoug all we know that it's a small marketplace. If it was not profitable, Corel would not sell it. The problem is the time, money and effort to develop a big software like CorelDRAW from zero to a different plattform, that is not part of anyone's priorities. But... impossible? I don't believe it, since the computer world changes too fast. Maybe tomorrow someone decides to buy Corel, and have other plans. Maybe in a couple years you could execute a program on both platforms.
When Star Trek was presented an American film critic said it was absurd. Not only by traveling faster than light, but gave the example of the "transmitters" used by the crew, some cordless phones with which they could talk from one side of the planet to another. He said: "that's underestimating the intelligence of the public Who would think that someone could carry a phone in your pocket.? It would be stupid, besides being totally impossible". It was not necessary to wait centuries... in a few years everyone had better phones than the used by Captain Kirk and Spock.
