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.
Judy said: I think Harry is on the right track. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your configuration. All other programs perform well, except CorelDRAW. Obviously CorelDRAW is the issue here. The thing now is to figure out where its messing up. Guess you'll have to share the file ( either fully or partially) to take this any further.

okay attached is the Corel file example. Keep in mind this is not an isolated incident, this is happening with several of my files. I just got back from the place that custom built my computer and he double checked and said there is nothing wrong with the setup. He also said he thinks it might be a Corel issue.

Maybe it is that I have update 2 installed, but this runs just fine on my several year old machine. Specs below. It loads fast and I can group or ungroup or what ever. I can move objects, zoom in or out. It is fast.
Edit: I just updated my signature, I am running x7
As far as I can see, it is the number of Pantone colors. Stripped out it runs along fine here. But the original download was slow to paint the screen.
I exported it out as a CMX, loaded it into something else and exported out a new CMX. Which I opened in X7 and resaved. I didn't take the time to determine if it was the particular Pantone palette used or what not.

your new modified file opened up fine and fast on my computer fine. But I tried it with one of my files and that did not work. So you exported it twice as a CMX? then imported and resaved as a CDR?
Here is another example just to show you guys how simple this file is and its still messing up, not loading correctly. My computer should be able to handle this plus LOTS more.
http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c2QeF5nP51 again.. it shows how fast it opens up in Illustrator... this feels like a Corel issue???
I am assuming that those spot colors are not important. There are too many to be practical for a press.
So...Publish to PDF. Choose the stock Web profile. Now open that up in CD.
This will convert the spot colors to RGB, which some of the swatches were in the first place.
I think you will find it zippy again.

GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS....
Good News is the Publish to PDF for web works!! I am able to open the PDF up very quick
BAD NEWS is I need my documents in PANTONE per clients request.
Soooo couple of questions
1. How can I fix it where corel can handle this many pantone colors?
2. How can I see how many pantone colors the document has?
3. How many pantone colors can corel typically handle?
