Hi Mr. Corel,
It's all well and good that DRAW allows objects to be in different color spaces.
BUT
There is world wide confusion on how to choose different color spaces for different objects, layers, or pages.True. That's not a bug. Nevertheless, the process to choose a color space for an object, layer, etc. must be made a lot simpler.Note that this is a separate issue from the mesh fill issue.

A CorelDRAW document can exist in 3 color spaces, 1 RGB, 1 Grayscale and 1 CMYK, these color spaces are selected in the document color management dialog. Objects within the file exist within one of those color spaces because the file creator selected the color model from the fill or outline color dialogs which is automatically from one of the selected colors spaces in the document color management dialog.
N color is selected from within the application, again because the file creator selected PMSxxx from the fill or outline color dialog.
It's simple and elegant.

Nicely succinct.
Mile it's that way now bit it took over 24 months of work and testing to get it that way.
Hi Everybody,
REPEAT: " There is world wide confusion on how to choose different color spaces for different objects, layers, or pages."
It's neither simple nor elegant. There have been a good many posts illustrating this confusion -- including posts which claim that a layer must all be in the same color space. I'm only asking for a simple method to choose the color space. Of course, that's after you have chosen the defaults in the color management dialog.
For what it's worth, here's how I pick colors in DRAW.
I choose the color space indirectly by using the Color Docker. You can also pick the color space by clicking on a palette in the space of choice. The color space per object can be changed by using the icons on the top right of the Color Docker -- immediate confusion. The docker initially comes up in CMYK. If you fool around with the buttons, you can convert it to display in RGB or Pantone. That's neither simple nor elegant. It's hit and miss. After finally discovering how to get RGB and Pantone, I can not get back to CMYK for the next object.
Should it be of any interest, here's an example. I could not get back to CMYK for the fourth object. Neither could I get the Color Docker to display gray scale.
Dr. Petrov (the developer of CDGS color management) should be made aware of this difficulty.Phil

When you chosen the defaults in the color management dialog, YOU'VE CHOSEN THE COLOR SPACE.
