Get Good Artwork
OK, this tip just seems so obvious to me. I hear from users all the time who are disappointed by tracing software. The problem isn't the software, it is that you are getting lousy artwork. When you put garbage in, you get garbage out. Somehow you...

Importing AI, EPS and PDF with CorelDRAW X5
I feel that one of the biggest reasons to upgrade to each new version of CorelDRAW is to get the latest and greatest import and export filters. Today I'm going to focus on three import formats that users feel are extremely important and talk about...

Quick Route to Windows Explorer
Often when I am helping a user solve a problem, I'll ask the user to open Windows Explorer. It always surprises me that so many users have no idea what I'm talking about. First, Windows Explorer is not the same as Internet Explorer. Maybe you...

An Interesting Use of the Object Data Manager
The Object Data Manager is one of those features that has been incredibly useful to a small percentage of users while being ignored by the vast majority. I'm sure that one reason it isn't used more often is that users just haven't found a...
