Re: Replacement Software for CorelDraw Corel Paint in Lion OS X 10.7

2012-02-20 Thread RJDarts
Morning,

Corel Draw and Paint have not been available for Mac in over a decade, except 
some trials. 
Solutions use in windows through bootcamp on Mac.

Should be able to get some sort of cross grade out of Corel, but there are some 
significant savings available through Corel at moment.
Download Time Trial do your changes and exports, as I do not think Corel 
inhibit Trials except for saving??

Corel program I use a lot Painter does not even import or open. Nor does 
GraphicConverter.

I convert Paint to PDF and Draw to EPS or AI then utilise within Adobe 
products. Apple have alternatives, and many GNU variants form others.

Cheers!

 Corel became very unstable with Mac OS X 10.6. I'm surprised it even worked 
 in Snow Leopard. OS X 10.7 Lion doesn’t recognise Corel at all of course, 
 which puts him in trouble. 
 He has emailed Corel, but Corel is not replying to any emails from him.
 
 Any suggestions I am sure he would greatly appreciate.

Re: Replacement Software for CorelDraw Corel Paint in Lion OS X 10.7

2012-02-19 Thread James / Hans Kunz
just an idea
an older mac with panther on it,
as far as i know there is no converter (incl grafic converter)
convert/export to svg could be one way, another one is make pdf's  use a pdf 
editor..
corel draw has a few export capabilities, eg autocad
is corel draw still working on one of the computers? (paralells-windows)

Re: Replacement Software for CorelDraw Corel Paint in Lion OS X 10.7

2012-02-19 Thread Ronda Brown
Thanks Rob and James,

I appreciate you both replying. 
I did mention to the person that CorelDraw was first (and last) ported to Mac 
OS X in 2002 as part of Corel Graphics Suite 11.
Support for Rosetta has disappeared in Lion, that is why he cannot run 
CorelDraw in Lion.
“Classic” or “PowerPC” will not work with Lion. ONLY Universal  Intel 
applications will run in Lion OS X 10.7

He apparently has emailed Corel numerous times but no replies received.

When searching last night for a solution to his problem, I did find CorelCAD 
which is Lion Compatible and does offer a Trial period to test it out. Bob 
Howell’s also send an email to me this morning mentioning this (thanks Bob).

CorelDRAW® and Corel DESIGNER® compatibility*
Export to CorelDRAW® X5 (CDR) and Corel DESIGNER® X5 (DES) formats* to easily 
re-purpose your work in presentations and marketing-related deliverables.

http://www.corel.com/corel/product/index.jsp?pid=prod4120067cid=catalog20038segid=752#tab3

I’ll get back in touch with the person and give him what information I can.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Ronni
