While you're peeling off that graphic and replacing it, repeat these words 1000 times: "Not everything that goes on a sign or a vehicle is called a wrap."
Wrapping is when you take a large sheet of material and wrap it around something, like a car. You then trim off the excess material, and it...
There are tools in Draw which Designer doesn't do, but since you are not creating content/new designs, you will likely never use them. There are many things Designer has which are totally irrelevant to making signs or vehicle graphics.
Since, by the sound of it, you are primarily creating...
If the surface to which you are applying the sign is a smooth, painted surface, on which the paint is not liable to peeling off, the VHB tape alone is more than enough to securely hold the sign. In most cases, you will destroy the sign trying to pull it off. If the surface is rough, porous, or...
It has been bugging me that I wasn't familiar with Corel Designer, despite having been in the sign industry for 26 years. So I looked at Corel's website to see what it was. They don't make it any more. But I did find this page that explains what it was. It was Micrografx Designer, and Corel...
On your other question, what makes Illustrator better? It isn't necessarily. But it's what the art/design industry has used since it went digital. Corel Draw is more common in the sign industry because it had always been cheaper, and did everything sign makers needed to do (and could do them in...

Use a "house brand" vinyl with gray air release adhesive from your favorite sign supply house, and don't laminate. They are temporary campaign signs. The ink will last that long.
I guess they call it a bug (I got the fix from a Corel support forum) because there is a part of the program that's meant to find illegal software but sometimes it flags copies of the software that is legit, but once it's done so, it leaves the message in the folder. So the detector software has...
Here's how to fix the bug that displays the illegal software window:
Delete the Corel message folder to correct the issue.
1. Press Windows key + R.
2. Type %appdata% and hit enter.
3. Go to Corel folder
4. Delete the "Messages" folder
Just a note to say that he did a permanent installation of a temporary sign decoration. Printed and cut unlaminated letters, which have inevitably turned white. If you can cut vinyl you should be using translucent vinyl for the best durability.
We are up against that from several places. One is a printer that's been around a long time that was sold a wide format printer as the solution to the shrinkage of the print market. They don't advertise banners any more, and I heard from a supplier rep that their printer is now just shoved in a...
