CorelDraw very slow, same old CDR problem!

[SAEngraver]

Hi Scrubdesigngz,

I think your problem is similar to what mine was in terms of the slowness - I put it down to some Malware or Virus - searched the net high and low. Already use Malware premium and Avast. No improvement. Than I came across a rather expensive tool RegHunter, I decided to buy this and ran it. After I had continuously used the previous ones mentioned - this software came up with a genuine 996 rectifiable issues - ran for about 5 hours before it had completed its scan. I elected to remove errors as per the software - the improvement in my computers performance was remarkably noticeable.
Hope this helps.
I am a newcomer to Photo Paint Pro x7 and have a few questions in this regard... is this the right forum to ask for assistance?

Thanks SAEngraver, I understand what you're saying, but it's specifically a file problem... most of our design work is fine, just a percentage has the corruption. (we have around 20,000 designs on file) Worked with curves and color styles, I know it's something to do with these, but just can't put my finger on it. 2 weeks solid work, costing me thousands. Corel, as usual, will not reply, even during the warranty period. We may return for Illustrator on Monday.

I took a look at the file last night. I did get some speed improvement taking each piece of the wrap and exporting it as a cmx, opening that cmx in a new file, removing the power clip and redoing the clip, and rebuilding a new file piece by piece.

I got the biggest speed gains by combining the grunge that was all one color and slicing off parts that were outside the clip in order to cut down the shear number of nodes.

That's about as far as I am in looking at it.so far.

Thanks Mwenz, I totally understand where you're coming from... however we've been using Corel for over 5 years now, and the export situation in cmx is not the answer... it doesn't speed it up enough. We have many very complicated designs, most are fine, then theres these 'infected' files. The grouping and eliminating components outside the powerclip area can help, but not as much as we require. I know what you're saying, totally. But, I think there's more to this.

Guys, just to give you idea of what we see, here is an example I have located... http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c2QeF5nP51
This basically shows a screenshot of the problem. This is not our design, but it shows what CDR does with the corrupted file. Each time you move anything, it does the bit by bit display deal. Ideas??
