I use Corel as a replacement for AutoCAD. It can open and work on .dwg and .dxf files. It's easy to learn and you can do so many different things! PhotoPaint is included and it's capable of almost everything that Photoshop can do.

While I got this program at the educational discount price (I was taking classes at the time), this software suite is a bargain even at its full retail cost. You get a world-class vector drawing program, a powerful pixel-editing (photo-editing) program, a font manager, nearly the entire Bitstream font library and a very good selection of clipart and photos for about what you would pay for Adobe Illustrator CS4 alone. I work as a graphic artist, I am familiar with Illustrator and frankly, I prefer Corel's product hands down for ease of use. It's a fantasic program loaded with features and intutive in use - I can't say enough good things about the software.

Product is easy and entuitive to use.
Packaging is an issue had to send it pack twice since the disk was not on the hold and was all scratched. Finally got one that worked.

I got a new computer running Vista and needed to replace all my software. I had an older version of CorelDRAW and many features would not load properly on Vista. The new graphics suite works fine and Amazon got me the software adhead of their promised date. All is well, again.

I have been using CorelDraw7 for many years - mostly self taught. Received a new computer for Christmas and updated to CorelDraw X4. The new features are very easy to get used to and the Users Guide on the DVD is a great asset. However, being considerably older than most users I would have preferred a printed manual. I did buy a copy of "CorelDraw X4 - The Official Guide" by Gary Bouton to supplement the DVD version and find I am using it almost exclusively. It's a great book.

My hobby is woodworking so this is an ideal program for design and assembly drawings. I realise I'm not nearly utilizing the full capabilities of this program but I am completely satisfied and would highly reccommend it to anyone. I also own a copy of another highly rated draw program but prefer CoreDraw X4 hands down.

CorelDraw has moved forward with new tools and effects that are efficient and necessary for designing images for many needs. By offering educational pricing, this product is readily affordable.

Great program for graphic production and editing. Has all the bells and whistles of a vector-based graphics software needed to perform any action. The only 'tweak' that would make this program PERFECT is integrated compatibility with PhotoShop.

I previously owned CorelDraw 6 and used it for many years and therefore had many files in that format. My primary concern in upgrading was that my old files wouldn't open in the new version and would have to be recreated. This was not a problem. All my files opened and the only problem was that some of the fonts I used in them were not in the new computer (not the fault of the program). The program is easy to use, does a lot more than my older version. I am very satisfied with this product.

A little more difficult to master than Expression Design 2, but once you get the layout, its a great program for the money.

I have made several attempts to contact Corel and they simply have refused to follow up on my requests for assistance. I bought the product new on Amazon and the serial key will not work. I sent the sales receipt, pic of the serial key, etc. and they still have not responded back.
