CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7 Multiple monitor display

Multiple monitor display

what is the best way and how do I do it, to set up a duel monitor display for use with corel draw? suggestions anyone?

Also, may sound like a stupid question but I assume that any settings and positions of dockers etc can be set as preferences in corel so that each time I open Corel it will automatically be set up for use on multiple monitors as I set it up?

It should remember the dialog last positions from session to session...so once you shut it down and reopen things should go back to the way they were.

Thanks Tony, I will certainly try a few things and see if things do indeed stay the same but I'm curious if there is a better way to actually [save] the setup? I know I used to get my dockers all set up to suit my workflow and somehow I or my wife or someone helping me one particular day would accidentally close a docker and it took forever to figure out how and what I had originally...................................kinda like moving the seat or tilt steering in your vehicle and never seeming to get it back quite to how you had it when it felt juuuuust right lol (obviously only applies to those of us without a new enough or expensive enough vehicle to have saved driver options lol). so now I've been saving my "workspace" so I can always get it back easily but not sure if that alone will apply the same way when dealing with a dual monitor setup???
Also, curious of suggested ways TO set up for dual monitor? not sure what my options are? obviously would like to have one monitor almost exclusively for the artwork itself that i'm working on, but wondering if you/anyone has any suggestions or tried and tested setup preferences I could try?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Try TOOLS > OPTIONS > WORKSPACE > NEW.
You can then recall it as needed by TOOLS > OPTIONS > WORKSPACE > click on saved workspace.

3 screens [:)] one dedicated for all the tools the middle to work in and left for other stuff. you should export your workspace to. in case you need to do a fresh install or corel crashes and your current workspace dose not work any longer. this way you can import it back in.

I am using Dual monitor with the HP PC and Nvidia display card. Just want to add please make sure you are using this setup :--
AMD mainboard and AMD graphics card / Intel Mainboard with Nvidia graphics card. For the obvious reason the graphics card, mainboard, memory, SSD and CPU work when you are using all the latest drivers.
Don't use a cheap mainboard and justify the costing and availability because that have never worked.
If you can afford it use a workstation graphics card i.e. Quadro and Intel Workstation mainboard.
Try to avoid branded computers like HP, DELL and LENOVO. Build a computer from scratched.
Avoid the brand that you know can create trouble like Asrock.
The other thing to be mindful is the memory if you can max out max out and have more by the time the layering and processing comes that you will see a lag in the system.
If you are using SATA always be ready to have back up plan and also service like Defrag and Disk Cleaner ready to help with work.
I think you cannot have all the windows setup perfectly everytime you open it up because it a memory allocation and memory manager that does that?
NO 2 pc are build a like!
