>>X3 has a great trace tool. Far better then any else. Everyone should try it! X3 trace rule!<<
As a long term devotee of Corel draw I'm afraid I have to disagree and say that the trace tool in Adobe Illustrator CS2 is superior. I'm a big fan of the detailed illustration trace tool in Illy and use it every day.
As for X3, right from when we tried to install X3 on our computers, we hit major problems. Seems there is a installation bug that is caused by the hints dialogue box being open during a first install. Doesn't give me much faith in a product if I can't even install it.
There are lots of other bugs too that I'd need a new forum to go over! Seems a classic case of getting a product out to the masses before actually making sure it's ok. Bit like Windows eh?
It's definately not our computers. We have very high spec pc's with dual processors, 4gb ram, ATI X1900XTX graphics cards etc. and keep our OS and anti virus up to date.
As to Acrobat files, they are a shambles. Export a Corel file to pdf and place it in Indesign and black is CMYK no matter what settings you use. Transparency is an issue too. Import an Indesign pdf file into Corel draw and it resembles a hundred piece jigsaw puzzle. Not nice.
So we're going to stick to version 12 as it's a great piece of kit until Corel start to release patches for X3.
CS2 is still the one to go for if you have a choice between it and X3 or stick to version 12.
