Corel x6 Sneak Peak

[WildWestDesigns]

Rumor mill has it that hp and wacom may just have a joint venture coming soon... I read it on engadget some time ago. Its also supposed to function like Apple's Thunderbolt platform and go from powerful desktop to powerful 21" Laptop.

Its been months since I read it so like all new gadgetry it could have faded to dust but It got me excited.

If that's true, I'll be getting that. I like my 18" Toshiba laptop with 8GB of RAM, it runs everything that my desktop can, but having to go back to the Intuos 3 is "killing me". Although, I hate to have to buy the 2 other pens that I use a lot again. Such is the burden I must bear to quench my thirst for gadgets.

I just my first pop-up window informing me of X6. I bought a new X5 mid-May 2011, should I even attempt getting a break on the update?

Any issues with Versaworks?

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

We upgraded in November of last year... I'm going to call tomorrow and I'll report back and let you know if they give us a break.

Does anyone have a list of HOTKEYS for X6 (or) even X5 ?

Mine is from v12 :-(

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

IIRC you can print it from within X5... do you not have x5?

pretty much the same: http://coreldraw.com/wikis/howto/complete-list-of-keyboard-shortcuts.aspx

Where would you go inside the program to print it ?

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

In the help menu there is a section with hotkeys, I'll pull up corel in a bit and try to get a screen shot of the area in the help menu.

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

Right from Corel X5/X6 Help:

To print keyboard shortcuts
1. Click Tools Customization.
2. In the Customization list of categories, click Commands.
3. Click the Shortcut keys tab.
4. Click View all.
5. Click Print.

Thanks 2CT . . .

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

NP... I'm not good at much so if I can help I will!

I like getting the different knowledge bases and insights offered here and utilize it frequently in my search to better myself and company, so its only fair I contribute wherever possible.

Just ordered it. I mentioned that I had just bought X5 last summer, so she gave me 20% off, making it $159.20

I like to have a disc, so it'll be shipping on the 27th.

I'm seeing soo much potential with the new Color Styles and Color Harmonies features.

 

[Christian @ 2CT Media]

No discounted update for us... but still the Best $200 upgrade I've purchased.

 

[slipperyfrog]

They would not reduce for me since buying in Nov but this x6 upgrade is pretty slick. Loving it and worth the $200.

 

[WildWestDesigns]

I wish my upgrades with Corel were only 200, but not in the cards for me. Those that get it let me know how it goes. My version isn't do for an upgrade for another year.

 

[Colin]

I have the most violent cold right now, and must sound awful on the phone; maybe the nice gal I spoke with had some empathy.

 

[GAC05]

No Colin you have the home team advantage.
We all wish we could be Canadian.

There's quite a bit of benefits with corporate licensing with Corel.
I'm sure Steve C. will be happy that they now have some of the OpenType® capabilities
and it's a decent upgrade from any previous version.
