Not sure but all I can say is that Corel Draw 2017 does not crash on my system.

I got so fed up with the drag and drop crash that I paid the $200 to upgrade to version 19 (Corel 2017). It does not crash.

The human eye/brain responds to movement. A moving sign gets immediate attentions from passers by. This is why many cities do not allow moving signs. In this case, the moving sign effect is caused by the motion of the viewer, so technically the sign is not moving. I would be willing to bet that...

I upgraded to Corel Draw 2017 (Corel Draw 19) in order to get around a problem I had in Version 17 with drag and drop crashes. Corel Draw 2017 runs on my computer well with no crashing problems.

Done....

Here is an example of a poorly designed Fire Evacuation map. Fire evac maps have to be thoughtfuly designed. Remember that these maps are usually only looked at when there is an actual fire. People are in a panic situation. The map should be simplified and should show clearly two routes of exit...

FlexiSign is likely to be the most hacked program in the sign industry. I have seen small companies using cracked versions that do not use a key. I cannot believe how crooked sign companies can be. Shame on them.

Which is the reason why art school trained desginers need to go to drafting school to learn how to scale and dimension drawings properly.

Because there is a thing called architectural scale and engineering scale. Archtectural scale uses fractions. Engineering scale uses decimals. This is basic drafting 101 knowlege. If you look at a AutoCAD archtectural drawing you will see that they use archtectural scale.

Chinese and Japanese traditionally are read from top to bottom. The kanji and hiragana characters are not rotated 90 degees as seen in the sign design. Here is my granparent's grave marker. The kanji is read from top to bottom and is not rotated.

I loaded a free macro from Corel using Macro manager. Now I do not see the macro. I am "chatting" with Corel tech suppoert, and the person chatting with me canot even tell me the path to where my macros go. She has to refer it to their techinical department. Who will take forever to get ot my...

I do not sell signs. I sell sign drawings. Getting businesses to pay for drawings depends on the ethics of the customer. Most of my clients pay, but I have one that still owes me $1535.00 and he is untrustworthy. I have had three bounced checks from him. It is frustrating.

The design blows chunks. Hard to read sideways. Copy is too small to read from automobile distance. Too many different fonts. Should I continue?

One more trick is to export the file to a legacy format like PLT, Then import it and contour it in CorelDraw. Good luck....

What the Font gets close....

In Corel, change the fonts to curves. Then auto reduce the nodes before you contour out. THis should work for you.

Working out of Corel, I PDF scale drawings. When it is time to manucfacture, I scale to full size and export to EPS. Simple.

Don't hijack the thread.

As a graphics professional, I have never used it.
