can anyone tell me why my version of corel is not working?
Ive been using coreldraw fer years and all of a sudden, each time I rotate something via the degrees tool, or make something smaller via the sizing tool, which are both on the transform bar, it leaves the original size behind as well as crating the new. which means I now have to delete the original copy each time…..!!
anyone know what im talking about and how to fix it??

these odd little things come up now and again normally after loading a customers file, rather than trying to find whats been altered way down a custom setting tree, i reset corel. by press F8 when you launch it.
it now only takes me a moment to get corel back to how it was

If I get Corel doing stuff unexpected I use F8 on Corel launch and accept factory defaults. Save your workspace first if customised, you can reload it later. Which version are you using? F8 should work on the later versions.

right o. I am using 10…. so as i launch corel press f8 at the same time.
corel workspace not too hard to get back to the settings I like…thanks for helping me rid the little gremlin….I hope!

Corel 12 does that to me all the time!
When it happens, I just click "To Fit" in the upper toolbar (where it says "to page", 200% etc.), and the ghost copy disappears.
Corel 9 never did this.

Cheryl, interesting you are using V10. I had this on a 98 machine and it was the most unreliable version I had ever used – terrible is not too strong a word, changed to W2000 and it improved dramatically. V10 was still not a good version for me compared to later versions. V12 was a good version but did suffer from workspace corruption, X3 very strong from the off – SP’s improved still further – X4 shaping up to be very good.

alan interesting what you say about v10 it used to be a pain until i changed motherboard makes, that cured so many problems with corel and it is still my weapon of choice today.
i dont like 11 and 12 interface but 13 is winning me over slowly.
thanks for the tips over time very helpfulchris

You’re welcome Chris and no reason why it won’t continue. Incidentally with me the V10 improvement was the same machine just a different OS. I hope X3 wins you over, in my opinion it is one of the strongest versions. I can say from experience Corel has a very positive attitude to user input.

cdr12 would ghost on me a lot, but i simply zoomed one way or the other with the wheel on the mouse and it went, was never a prob really.

Ctl W is quick way of redrawing the screen. X4 sometimes leaves artefacts and the screen refresh sorts that, I’m sure this will be addressed in the future SP’s.

ive been happy with 10 for ages now….for vector images and visuals. ive heard horror stories about 11 and12 so stayed with 10 and decided if it wernt broke dont fix it. ( tho it does decide to crash now and then, so have to practice saving regularly) Anything else I use photoshop

<<<<<<<< Used Corel 8 for last gawd knows how many years, never had a single problem sign & print best oner I ever spent.

Corel 8 was ok although it had issues with the kerning of Type 1 fonts compared to every other version, True Type was ok and apparently it wasn’t entirely a Corel issue anyway. Not sure how well it will run (if at all) with Vista. If you moved to X3 or higher you would see a difference, colour management is better, filters and much more.
