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.
OK. I was expecting to see something with thousands of shapes being drawn one at a time in quick succession, not a small number of shapes and huge pauses between each one.
By the looks of it, the outlines draw fairly quickly and then it takes ages to fill each shape. I'm sure even a basic graphics card could do better than that.
Have you noticed a screen like this:
In windows 7, its at Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Performance Information and Tools but might be different in windows 8.
I KNOW, im working with simple flat graphics here, it should not be loading like that!
my computer performace is the same rating as yours 5.9
If you are using color styles by any chance, delete all color styles in the document, and give it a try.
Have you installed any macros, other than those that come as standard with CorelDraw?
Hello Judy; I see the 5.9 in the MS speed test and it's the same as Harry's, but your hold back is the Hard drive, Harry's is the video. 5.9 is a good score and a 7.9 is the best you can get. The hard drive is holding you back some compared to the rest of the computer. You could clean out the Temp dir. and look at how many fonts you have installed in Windows/Fonts. ( the less fonts there the faster Windows will run.) You do need some of the fonts for other programs, but you could put the fonts in a separate dir. and use Font Nav. to load the fonts that you want to use in Corel. You could add a SSD instead of the reg. hard drive, and being the computer is New it wouldn't be to much pain. You can slave the Windows to a new drive but I think it's best just to reinstall Windows and the other programs.
