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.

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.
Gennady Petrov works at NVidia now, I'm fairly sure he's busy.
Hi Milisock,
You are a gold mine of mis-information. Do you go out of your way to be consistently wrong and obnoxious.

Phil has a one word response plus a picture to the contrary. The Color Docker opens in CMYK even though the default color space has been chosen to be RGB.
The one word is bull----. The picture is below.Phil
Phil the circled item is the primary color mode not the default color space. If your work space is not corrupt RGB color dialogs should be the default for the document.
Your default color spaces are sRGB, Grayscale 20% and US Webcoated V2.
For your information even though the CMYK dialog is up when it should not be the default anything created in CMYK would be in your default CMYK color space.
I never use the color docker but if it opens to CMYK while your primary color mode is CMYK you may have an issue with your workspace.
