If I'm correct in my assessment of what that screenshot means. It looks like the new Corel will have multi-core support. Something that Ai really does need.

Although I will admit that since one of the staple embroidery programs that I use has gone in with Corel, I've had to "force" myself to use Corel more and more and I'm slowly liking it over Ai. I don't know if I'm trying to convince myself of that, because of the other programs that I use or if there really is something to it.

Anyway, I digress. Main point was to show that the new Draw looks like it's going to be 64 bit. Which should mean that it should take advantage of the multi core processors out now.

Hmmm, never had that happen with x5, although, my version of x5 is actually "built-in" with my embroidery program, so I wonder if that has something to do with it. I just have a "Design" and "Embroidery" button that I use to toggle between the different interfaces.

Wild,
64bt will allow Draw to access more memory address space over the 2-3gig limit that our current 32bit versions have.
Large files from other designers received here have caused both draw and photopaint to go into the "still loading" loop of death here. I have a 64bit quad core with 9 gigs on win7.
As a rule it has not done this on files I generate myself - just imports.

I get it all the time when I try to design wraps in full scale... Its getting old, ended up having to build vectors and compile everything in photoshop to avoid those errors.

I gotcha now. Yea, I don't deal with wrap files, so I guess I lucked out there. Mainly sublimation files and my embroidery designs.

It does make sense. I'm looking forward to that ability, it would be nice to better utilize my quad core with 16GB of RAM more efficiently. I'll just have to wait til the next embroidery program release though to get it then. Should only have another year or year and a half til their next one. They are typically on a 2-2.5 yr cycle.

Now if only you can chose photoshop rather than photo-paint as the primary raster editor with the direct link in corel... I know its wishful thinking but it would be nice!

I'm In LOVE!!!!

Just loaded a 4gb corel file and copy and pasted every bitmap layer 5 times and it completed in 5 seconds with no errors! this would have crashed corel before or amounted to minutes to an hour to complete.

Thank you Corel for being a step ahead of illustrator by my standards! Now to play with the color profiling/building functions to see if it matches Illustrators accuracy.

I'm downloading at this moment but it says the trial download version is EN32Bit.exe? will this version support 65 bit?
