I am happy to announce that the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 Hot Fix 2 is now available.This hot fix address 4 specific issues, and should only be installed if you are experiencing these issues. The patch applies to all languages and all versions but can only be applied to CorelDRAW after is has been updated to Service Pack 2 (version number 14.0.0.701).

Issues Fixed with Hot Fix 2:

• Object names are now maintained in the Object Data Manager when copying and pasting.
• Custom spot colors can now have the same CMYK values as long as the color name is unique.
• Using the Artistic Media tools over a network will no longer slow down the application.
• Files that contain macros will now open correctly on the Public Beta / Release Candiadate of Windows 7.

Build number notes: The build number displayed in the Help About will remain the same as SP2 (14.0.0.701). You can determine if the hot fix is applied by viewing the version number of the CorelDrw.dll file located in the programs folder. The version of this file is 14.0.0.704 once the patch is applied.

Here is the link to download the patch. We will be adding it to the download pages of http://www.corel.com in the near future.
