It's cold comfort for some, but CorelDraw has not allowed files saved in the latest version to open in earlier versions. The argument is because some features won't work since they're missing from earlier iterations of the software.

I agree with you there ... it is good value and does a competent job.
But this new release has taken the product BACKWARDS - not forwards.
I can't see any really valuable improvements - menus have been moved around which is irritating, but will get used to it.
But - there is no value in changing things for the sake of change - the new UI is still hideous and less useable.
This reminds me of what happened to CorelDraw, over the years a lot of changes were made for the sake of... change.

It's early days, but I prefer the new icon set. I am aware any change to well-used apps can be difficult to adjust to initially, so I think we need to give any change time, take a deep breath, and then see...
Working with the new versions will tell if anything has gone wrong rather than right... workflow matters (but so does the GUI, will spend a lot of time staring at it!).
To be honest, at this price point I think Serif has done a fantastic job, and will improve since they're going for volume sales and so keep the price down, and it's certainly a low price even for upgraders.

Hi Chris_K
There might well be something lurking on this pc which I've forgotten about(!). If I find out what I'll post back here. I do use various utilities so one of them may well be conflicting with AP and causing the issue. It's not a big deal, I still want to buy the final product - very impressive!
Regards

Thanks for trying, must be something to do with my set up then.

Preview via View menu - Preview Mode in build 1.7.0.174 works, but not when using the keyboard F10 to toggle it on/off. The notation on the menu indicates F10 should have this function?
Tried the Ctrl/reset things when launching but it didn't make any difference.

Ah, thanks Fixx for pointing that out; makes sense! I've created a few documents and they appear to revert back to default sometimes, for reasons I have yet to identify (might be a non-issue due to a new beta update reverting the setting for the document back to default with Clip to Canvas turned on again, I guess).
-
I'm aware Clip to Canvas is turned on by default, but would like the option to have it turned off globally/universally since having it turned on means items in the placeholder area are hidden.
I know I can turn it off via View - Clip to Canvas but would prefer having it turned off permanently (by default)!

Ah, thank you Patrick that does the trick, much appreciated!

At the moment the baseline grid setting appears to effect all text frames in a document if used, even if they're not linked text frames. Could this be changed so you can choose which text frames use baseline grid, so some can, and some don't, as the user decides?

Ah... sorry, I always work with default setting when saving files which does warn it won't be backward compatible, my error, apologies.
