  2. Discussion Corel Font Mangler

    I have been wanting to put this issue to bed for months now. Corel is supposed to answer within 6 hours from the chat, but this problem is likely to be at the coding level. Tech support was clueless and they have to research it.

  6. Corel Designer, Why is it not more popular, What am I missing

    Regular orel Draw DOES draw to scale. Both Archiectural and engineering scale, and even metric scale. All Corel Designer adds is more traditional drafting tools. I do recommend it but most designers are clueless about rendering drawings in complicance with AMSE Y14 as they went to design school...
  7. Corel Designer, Why is it not more popular, What am I missing

  11. Roll your calendar back to 1975

    How much fun your post is. In 1975 I graduated from high school. I did not enter the sign industry until 1994. But before then I know sign designers used drawing boards to render drawings. They uesd LetterArt or other brands of dry transfer lettering on their drawings. To make production...

  13. CorelDRAW - Version Upgrades Going Bye Bye, Subscription-Only Soon

    Since Corel Corp no makes a new release (version) once per year the subscription actually costs less than buying an upgrade DVD, which is the mistake I mad in upgrading to version 20 (2018) now version 21 (2019) is out.... I was forced to pay $200 to upgrade to version 20 by a client sign...

Today's graphic potions in the sign industry...
  17. Please convert all fonts when creating your pdf's

    If you export to PDF out of Corel, you can check the box under PDF/Settings to embed the fonts in the PDF file. There must be a way to do the same in Illustrator, but it may not be a default setting and users are not aware of it. Most folks just convert fonts to shapes or lines.
