Greetings all.
Recently (last 1-2 days) CorelDraw x7 has been taking a lot longer than normal to copy/cut.
All other functions seem completely normal. Pasting seems almost instant.
I have tested on a new file with just a square, and it's the same delay (7-8 seconds) as when I copy a huge bit of artwork.
I've made no alterations to any settings, installed any new software or otherwise altered my system in the last few days, so I'm at a loss to explain it.
I have installed the latest update (Current version is 17.2.0.688).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I solved my problem. I read another post on here about a similar issue, the solution to that was to remove a printer.
I simply opened the printer drivers and removed it from the system - Copying instantly returned to normal. I also remembered that A few days before I posted my problem above I'd recently added a network printer to print something off (which I don't usually do).
So the issue is directly related to how Corel handles network printers in my case - no idea why, but that's the problem - no other software on my computer had any problems at all during this period, just Corel and nothing helped except removing that printer (which admittedly is a fairly old model now!).
Just to add to this issue - there can be a delay when you have too many objects with lens effects. See the file attached. Try copy/pasting and time it if you like. Now try the cleaned file and see the difference.

Indeed, but that's a different issue to what I was experiencing since the instant I changed the default printed from the networked one to a local one the problem disappeared.
The issue I was having was identically the same whether I was coping a huge piece with many layered effects or a simple outline square with no fill, still took that same 7-8 seconds. No variable changed the delay (a newly created file with a single outline square had the same issue as a huge project file, etc.)
My original solution still stands, and I've never had any issues at all since then providing I don't make the network printer the default one.
Thanks for your reply though.
