Thanks for the info. but I think illustrator can import Corel files ok as long as they don't use too many effects. It is true there are caveats but Corel draw can import illustrator files or open them again with the same sorts of caveats. it can also import layered .psd files with no problem at all. same with pdf's. in fact, Corel draw imports and exports about fifty vector formats and fifty-five raster formats. it's the king of in and out. so to speak. I just wondered, since there are millions of Corel users, why not. it might be easier to recruit them if they can transfer their files. but thank you again for the reply. can't wait to see the next iteration of designer as I quite like it.

I am curious why you are not supporting Corel Draw files at least on the windows platform. millions of users worldwide. how will you get them to convert if you won't support them? also Draws curve creation tools are awesome and bare study and the brushes that can be created in Corel draw are beyond anything else i've seen. I wish your vector brushes were that good. Also, you need a contour tool and much better drop shadows and control of them. I'm very excited about designer so far and have high hopes for your future. Have you noticed the things people seem to like most about designer are the ways in which it is NOT like Illustrator? Just sayin. Thanks After the Revolution! P.S. here's a simple brush scanned, traced, dragged into pallet, done. but i have far more sophisticated ones but I'm not near my pc at the moment. typing on my mac.
