Yes -- surely
i have a lot of whish list for coreldraw
But are we talking a bout a whish list that will never
reach the Corel pepole ???????????
i had an old whis list that i posted
but saddly most of it were not met
anyway -- The most whish list that i want to see
in the comming corelDraw suite "12"
is to buy XaraX again -- and combine the cool
feature that found in XaraX to Draw ...ex. Bevel and more
i truley think that if corel has those features that are found in XaraX
it will bw a killer App to beat
in future i will post some new features for Draw
i had Illustrator 10 and Canvas 9 and freehand Mx
xaraX and CorelDraw 5 - 11
soon i will post one of the coolest features that can be found in appz other than CorelDraw
==========
Thanks AjIsCoool,
yes, in Xara X, there’s some cool features.
The Feathering Slide is great,
Also the Interactive Bevel Tool,
and the Round Corners for the Shape Tool.
In Canvas 9, the Object Path Editor is useful.
In CorelDesigner10,
the Gravity Snap, Boundary Tool,
Virtual Segment Delete Tool and
Reflective Nodes are Absolutely Great!
I just spent a few hours reading my CorelDraw 11 manual and playing with CD 11 and it definitely needs some TLC!!
Yes, an interactive bevel tool is much needed and a feathering tool and how about, while we are at it, a lighting tool, bump maps and improvements on the shadow tool.
I was really trying hard to use this software today and I just have been SO spoiled with XaraX and RealDraw-Pro that I just felt like I was going backwards with missing some of the familar tools that these two wonderful apps supply.
I would also add some more Lens effects, they are quite limited as well.
Speed is another issue I noticed, I created a "contour" 3D ball and threw a drop shadow on it and boy it was almost as bad as DrawPlus 7 (Serif). Another area I'm very much spoiled with is XaraX's speed and RD-Pro is right behind it with that as well.
I was kinda curious about the new Canvas but then again I really don't need another vector app!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
It was a fun learning experience but I will go back to just using PhotoPaint 11 and there Draw and Rave 2 sit. I also tried out Rave 2, it's like a glorified Draw with a movie making module plugged in to it!! Not sure why Corel needs to justify all the extra space for basically Draw 2 times!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
I'm not a Corel basher by the way. I would like to see this program make good and maybe it will by version 12 now that the Vector Capital Completes Corel Purchase!!.
Maybe they are already tearing down old code and rebuilding and improving things. That would be wonderful for the entire industry. Corel is a corner stone, so this is good, I think!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Corel 12...
It might be in 11, but I have not found it, but a tool that you could grab ahold of a section of your drawing and warp it. kind of like an interactive envelope tool and smudge brush in one. Where the Smudge brush seems to make a sharp angle this would gently warp your graphic where you place it... if that makes sence.
I would also like to see an offset tool, Similar to the interactive contour tool, but a tool that I could chose a line, circle, object, group and create an offset of exactly a specified distance, I use it allot in Autocad, and I think it would be handy in CD 12.
NOt to be smart, but how about a nice stable platform where I do not need to worry about losing information.

There is really just one thing that they truly need to correct (redo completely from the ground up or whatever) something that only keeps DRAW in the enthusiastic circles: correct EPS export. That's one and formost problem with CorelDRAW, after all that's where vector graphics is supposed to go and with Corel it won't do. Had they have it corrected I'd vote to number that version 20 instead of 12 but it make take an eternity for those folks to realize their major failure - to deliver an app that would do it straight with serious graphics. Blah..blah..blag.. I know that won't happen.
Yes, it's me.
I happened to think of a few other goodies I would like to see in CD12
Fillet/Round/Champher
AND What I think could be REALLY cool is an X-RAY lens, where you could make several objects over top of each other and with the lens you could look through a layer, or several layers...

Having updated from PerfectDraw to CorelDraw 8, I didn't think there was anything more to wish. But then came CorelDraw 9, 10, 11.
I got used to all the little extra programms, that Wordperfect also used to add. In version 11 I really was pleased with the added RAVE. But I missed the separate texture designer of version 10. For version 12 I would like those little extra's back.
I really would like all Xara capabillity. The different Xara software, including the button and navigation design, has good features. But the company, it's a horror. So PLEASE, PLEASE, buy XARA back, Corel. Webstyle, X, 3D, they should be re-edited to be worthy of the Corel label, and added to the Corel Graphics suite.
What I also miss, is a new version of good old Corel Webdesigner. It is difficult to install on a new computer, but I cannot miss it. I would like new features, but the software has an incredible learning capabillity. The more features you add to yor websites, the more menu's and features Corel Webdesigner 2 offers. That probably is the Sun Java its working with. An updated version of this program disserves to be included in the next Corel Graphics Suite.
I'm relatively new to this vector graphics thing, but after spending some time in the Xara forums, I realized that Corel Draw is way behind Xara. Draw is very strong here is Taiwan. I thought it was one of the leaders, that's why I bought it. Now it seems to be hard-pressed just keeping up. My wish is that Corel Draw programmers buy and use Xara, then they'd know how far they have fallen behind. I wish I bought Xara instead.
Come on guys !!!
You can’t compare a beginner’s graphic program like Xara to CorelDRAW.
It’s true that Xara have a few cool feature that CorelDRAW doesn’t have,
and that normal !!! (... and CorelDRAW have a lot of features ans possibilities
that Xara doesn’t have).
Look, between competitive programs,
(in this example for drawing / illustration programs)
(for example CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, Xara X, ACD Systems Canvas, etc...)
they individually have all their super super cool features that other don’t have,
that’s one of the most significant reasons to convince folks to buy it.
That’s true that is some little features that Xara X have a I would like to see in CorelDRAW.
But this is not a valable reason to Corel spend some millions to buy Xara,
because if they want, they can program and ad those few features in a future version.
Take a look to this two website, there is some macros to add to CorelDRAW:

and this is a cool forum for Corel Users: http://www.unleash.com/forums/

What a statement you have made here!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
On the contrary, Xara Ltd. has been around since 1981, while Corel was started in 1985.
Xara Studio was licensed to Corel for a short time and in that time, as any company would do if they had the opportunity, they pilfered what they could out of Xara to improve Draw and IMHO I do not see what they actually ported over. I find Draw to be slow and clunky and limiting, or the features that need to be more on top are buried under to many dialogs, at least to me!
I happen to own XaraX, Draw 11, Illustrator 8 and Serif's DrawPlus 7 and RealDraw-Pro. XaraX, for me, is much more intuitive and DOES have more interactive features that play nicely with each other than does Draw.
Try creating a beveled shape and then applying drop shadow to it while retaining the chosen fill. I tried this in Draw and in the end I just closed the program down after messing with it for over an hour. The feature sets do NOT play nicely with each other, IMHO!! My attempt in Draw: Created a Star shape, filled it with a bitmap fill. The bitmap fill disappeared when I applied the bevel extrude, nor could I apply a shadow to the object once I had the beveled extrude. The only way to do this was to transform the beveled vector to a bitmap and regardless of the DPI I chose the Anti-Alaising still did not smooth out the jaggies. So the quality of the bitmap was pretty ugly looking to me. But I then could apply a shadow!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Another area that is need of work is that there is no real time fill tool. If you appy a bitmap fill and want to resize it you have to enter numbers in the boxes provided in the Edit dialog, not ever a slider is provided and you don't see the results untill you click the OK box and the dialog box closes. In XaraX you have TOTAL control over ALL areas while retaining a fully editable vector shape!!
Yes, there a LOTS of cool features in CorelDraw 11 and I love the interface, admittedly but I would NOT consider it all that intuitive!!
I must add to this long post that XaraX is NO beginners vector program. It's fast and intuitive and just plain works the way I think it should. I don't get that satisfaction from Draw 11 or any previous versions. I know you are staunch supporter of Draw but please don't say things about another program that is untruthful.
I happen to be a huge fan of Corel and I was very happy to see it taken over by Vector Capitol, I would NOT want to see the company go away. I love WordPerfect and I fully support the company and if they took the time to really rework Draw 11 from the ground up then I would most certainly give it another go but as it stands I got much more intuitive satisfaction from DrawPlus 7 from Serif then I ever did from Draw 11! You have Draw11 which you prefer and many folks really enjoy XaraX and produce very HIGH quality work.
If you wish to take the time to read through Xara Ltd's company page then go here:
http://www.xara.com/about.asp
Here is a Search I did for Vladimyr, who is one the more successful users of XaraX. I know Vladimyr and he was kind enough to send me sample .xar files for me to tear apart and indeed he uses vectors like a true master to achieve his finished images. Take a look and if you can produce something like this in Draw 11 I would be interested to view the images!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

OK, I appologize. I found the interative fill tool, you would think that it would be intergrated into the fill dialogs though!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

Xara may be older, but I also have an ld computer. Want to change that for your youngest PC?
