Anyone have experience opening older (CorelDraw 5) .cdr drawings with this Home X6 version?

I've opened very old .cdr files...very old meaning the old DOS versions of CorelDRAW with the newer version of their Home and Student Suite 2014 without any issue. For whatever reason the only place you can get this newer version here in the US is via their website. Here's the link that also includes a comparison sheet. http://www.corel.com/corel/product/index.jsp?1=1&promo=5081&dcs_action=applyCoupon&url_coupon=5081&onyxcampaignid=5081&storeKey=us&pid=prod5140095#tab1

No working DVD drive? You need to have one when working with Corel Painter 12. The boxed version comes with a CD and a 100+ page hardbound book about how to use the program. This is a serious program and it's not just a simple paintbrush program. As for the download version, personally I never buy download stuff. I always prefer software I can download myself. Yeah, it may be pricey, but I believe it has less bugs. So, when you can, purchase a computer with a working DVD drive so you can explore the full potential of Corel Painter 12.

Yes it is. I use it for AutoCAD and Illustrator and I had to close the windows to notice.

Steve and Michael both have very valid answers and methods. I've also used Easeus.com products for this with good success (if you aren't very technical) or if you want to try and do it manually check out this site: http://www.pagestart.com/win7bckuprstrnhd072610.html (however, this requires some technical knowledge. Use at your own risk)

yep. here's the link to the sourceforge drivers to get you started. http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxwacom/files/xf86-input-wacom/input-wacom/

I'm pretty sure the answer is "No" because it makes you get a registration key and register your computer, unlike some other Corel software I have used. I may try it anyway and post back here with a definite answer.

Before replying, may I suggest you get the newer version, CorelDraw X6. Another Amazon vendor is offering the X6 version for just a dollar or two more, which is the product I purchased just last week. You used the term "upgrade." However, nothing I noticed in the product I recently purchased identified it as an upgrade. On the "honor system," you're expected to be a home or student user, thus entitling you to purchase this full X6 version I purchased at a deeply discounted price. You'd also be entitled to making three installations and a license number was provided with the product, too. In other words, it's a full version, not an upgrade version. I installed it without a hitch. By the way, I'm also running Windows 7 Home Premium on an I5-3450 processor. So, as far as I can tell, you'd be perfectly "good to go" buying the X6 version I purchased for about the same price. Good luck with it.

I don't think you can. Speaking from past experience when trying to open a Captivate 6 file in Captivate 5--I doubt that they added backwards compatibility in v.7. See this link at Adobe forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1241266

There's a step by step guide in the disc as well. It took me a couple of hours to figure it out. Make sure you don't already have a wacom driver installed in your computer or it won't work. Also try live chat with their customer service at monoprice. They're friendly and was pretty helpful.

It is basically a Windows Surface unit with Windows 8 but with a better chip and memory. You should be able to load Photoshop to it. it has enough room, and during my research I read reviews from a number of people saying Photoshop works great. I haven't loaded my CS4 version, because the preloaded Corel X3 trial is so much better for drawing and painting. I'll be getting the full version once the trial expires. It doesn't have a DVD drive, so if you want to load from discs, you'll need an external. I picked a Samsung unit up from Amazon for 35 bucks. You can also purchase direct downloads as well, although that won't help if your existing Photoshop is disc only. Hope that helps.

I have no idea what you are referring to. I was really writing about X6 but there wasn't any page posted yet for the newest version. So I simply used X5 to make comments about X6. Sorry about that.

My understanding is "yes"...but if you use the program on both systems simultaneously, you may get a raised eyebrow from corel. but I have had trouble running it on my desktop for some reason.....desktop is more than adequately powerful...but corel engineers shrugged and said "yes...we've seen this problem and our engineers are working on it"......3 months ago....still no answer to several emails asking for assistance. ... maybe d/l the free trial 1st on both an see if they'll run it.

Sorry, Mohammed - I am having a bear of a time just trying to get my Encore 5.0.2 to work properly (you have to exit the file and re-enter in order to edit mistakes, as if it forgot what it was doing right while you were working on a very delicate musical passage. It's a very nice program otherwise, but seems to be quite self-contained. A quick perusal of "Help" and "Open File As..." mentions nothing about PDF. Nor is there a Converter. The last posts I have seen when I Google "GVOX" or "Encore 5.0.2" are from around 2011. Tell you the truth, there are a lot of questions I would like to ask them.

Sorry. Can't help you with this. I am running this on a 32 bit Windows XP system ...You can check out some of the CorelDRAW forums e.g https://coreldraw.com/forums/t/33352.aspx

I use Corel Draw and Photoshop to prepare my files. By that I mean, I create my logo, design, etc. in the program (corel draw) and safe it as a low bit PNG file. Then I go over to the Sure Cuts A lot program / screen and import or place the previously created/saved file on the matt (desktop of surecutsalot). The critical part here is, that sometimes the matt does not show the trace / outline image I created, after hitting the cut window button. So you have to play around a little, go back to Corel and adjust, re-save the pic, etc. And redo. It does work for me, but remember.. the more lines, corners, trickiness your design has, this cutter has its limits. Now if you question is, if the Corel opens or works directly with the Cutter, without the SureCutsAlot software, I do not know or have not done that. All in all, if you are good with Corel and play around with creation - import / paste - trace - cut it will take you maybe an hour to figure it all out. The biggest problem I had, was that if the pic / design is not properly traced, even though it shows perfectly on the surecutsalot matt / screen, It will suddenly cut through the middle of your design / vinyl and ruin a big batch of your material. Which was hard, because I hate wasting material. But if that happens, then the customer service recommends to redo/reimport, etc. But even better to create the design in surecutsalot from the start. surecutsalot does not really offer much design play room, so id rather redo. I hope this makes somewhat sense. I love the cutter for the price. And recommend it. Customer Service is American based and very helpful. I believe people get frustrated with the item, because they do not understand the connection between software and cutter. Good luck

Sure does. You just need to download the freeware program recommended by the maker, so you have the most current version.
