[demo version]

Really great so far guys:

 

1. PDF export from CorelDRAW! X4 and open in AD, so far it's the only Mac proggie I've found to recognise ALL objects in the PDF (Haven't and won't be trying Adobe). CDR page background into PDF = AD extra layer. Looks like I won't be needing CDR import after all :)

 

2. Love the on-screen handles and sliders for fountain fills

 

3. Haven't figured out how to do things like measurement unit default settings, dimension objects etc. but that's what these forums are for if I can't work it out ;)

 

A few more days playing then I better get my wallet out.

[demo version]

Cool! Going to try it out! Thanks guys  :)

[Import CorelDRAW files]

Hi Jens. but the whole point for us CorelDraw X4 (edit: on Win) and earlier users is not to have to buy the latest, just to save files. I wanna buy Affinity instead! LOL

[Import CorelDRAW files]

+1  :)

[CDR Import]

+1 too, running CorelDRAW! X4 on VMware Fusion 6. Performance fantastic, but want to remove Win entirely (sick of Windows Updates & Virus s/w updates just to keep a program or two running).

 

Also, look at the Mac vector graphics competition.... Sketch, ArtBoard, Intaglio, EazyDraw, Sketsa, SketchBook, Inkscape... NONE of them can do it... what an edge you'd have  ;)

 

Edit: Also great to see you're not doing the "subscription" and "cloud" nonsense that's a huge turn-off for someone who likes to control and backup their own data  ;)

[Feature requests]

Hi audible, I'm with you on the CDR import filter... there are some major problems with export from CorelDraw in non-native formats then import into almost every vector app I've tried so far in the Mac world. I'm looking forward to the trials version (committing AUD$65 sight unseen won't happen LOL). (To staff) An accurate CDR import surely would win over heaps of people like us who are moving from Win to Mac. Add ten bucks to the price for it and I'd gladly pay it!  ;)

[demo version]

Yes, we will have a trial version available in a few weeks.

 

Hi Tony, when it's available, could you please tell us on this topic? Looking to replace my win/CorelDRAW! X4 with a Mac proggie  :)

 

Thanks & kind regards, Chris.
