I tried opening up a project in my CorelDraw x7 and it is loading very slow! I JUST bought a custom build computer with 16GB and fast processor, so it should not be doing this. I tried opening up the same project in illustrator and it loads just fine.
When I try and open in Corel, it loads every object and layer of object one at a time. When I try to move an object it loads everything on the screen one at a time again.
It would be very difficult to work on anything with this issue. Any ideas what is causing this? I'm thinking its a corel issue since it opens up fast in illustrator.
I have also done some tests, and confirm that the same design, with all colours globally replaced to either RGB, CMYK or LAB works normally.
But I also tried reducing the number of pantones (currently about 18) to 4 without significant improvement. Also tried with 6 pantones from the Pantone+ V2 palette -- exactly the same.

Just to eliminate a possibility -- is at least one of you not using a Radeon graphics card ?
Hello Judy,
Waiting for a fix from Corel is definitely going to mess with your deadlines
I suggest in your best interest, changing your workflow would be your best option at the moment, Create all the artwork in CorelDRAW, and color your artwork in Illustrator.
This would be a good opportunity to learn Illustrator too, thereby adding to your arsenal of tools.

To answer Harry question: Not sure about others, but my graphics card is an NVidia.

So why did it open and run fine on my machine? I made no color replacements and my machine is no supercomputer.

An interesting question. It could be also be a particular version of windows, .net, a windows update or something else installed on most of our computers.
Anyway, I'll forward it to Corel with a link to this thread for investigation. I'm sure there's enough information already here to start looking.
Hi Judy,
I did not read all of the message. Did you install X7 Update 2 ?
