Hi everybody!!!

Well...Here in Brazil, as far as I know, CorelDRAW has a lot more users then Illustrator. Every single designer, print house, graphic worker use CorelDRAW. They can use Illustrator, InDesign, Xara, QuarkXpress, Sketch, you name it, but all they will use CorelDRAW also.

I'm CorelDRAW user since version 10 (I think the year was 2000/2001...) and I'm migrating all my old jobs to AD. And the new ones I'm using only AD instead.

But that's a long road to AD on this Brazilian market... migrating from one software to another (to work professionally) is not an easy decision and making. The learning curve is only one of the problems. PDF exchange can solve most of the problems, but not all.

So, just to think, if I could open all my .CDR and start working from that...professionally...it would be nice. Really nice. I made my decision and I will drop all software I used to work with (until the license permits) and I'll use only AD and AF from now. but it's me...

But for most of people that use CorelDRAW, if they could open and work on their files natively, will be mutch more appealling.

Hi People,
 
I'm using version 1.5.0.4 and It's amazing !!!
But I have some problems with special characters in pt-br (Brazilian).
Some combinations doesn't work well. Example: "~" + "ao" should be ão, but shows like ~ao or ~ão
Occurs the same with "^", "´" and "`".
But, when I write on Textpad/Notepad and copy/paste into AD, all shows ok.
Thats it.
 
See the printscreen here.

I'm back just to tell this...
If AD could be purchased right now, I will buy it!!! (Like I bought Serif's Draw, Page and Web Plus before...)
I'm very satisfied with speed, results and easy of use of all tools AD provide together. Everithing I'm trying is working perfectly!!!
Congratulations for this wonderfull software you are developing.
Just to know... I'm using other vector tools for the last 10 years.
For testing purposes, I made various previous works and the easy and accuracy of AD is amazing and very superior of those!!!
Everything simple works!!! and works fast!!!
Congratulations again!!!
 
A very satisfied Beta Tester.

I'm back to say that the problem is solved.
 
What I've done before:
- Uninstalled and reinstalled Affinity Designer Public Beta
- Uninstalled and reinstalled VC++ 2015
- Uninstalled and reinstalled .NET Framework 4.6.1
 
So... none of this procedures works... So I make a more wide and deep uninstalling procedure... and the problem solved!!!
 
1) Uninstalled Affinity Designer Public Beta
2) Uninstalled VC++ 2015
3) Uninstalled .NET Framework 4.6.1
4) Cleaned Windows (I used Piriform CCLeaner, works for me)
5) Reboot Windows
6) Reinstalled VC++2015
7) Reinstalled .NET Framework 4.6.1
8) Reinstalled Affinity Designer Public Beta (only for precaution, in a brand new directory name - C:\Program Files\ADPB...)
 
And...Works !!!
 
PS.: In my research I found that the " AppHangB1" problem occurs with lots of software, and the solutions is to update/reinstall VC++ and .NET Framework.
 
Now Affinity Designer is running blazing fast !!!
