Question
QUESTION: Sir, i am using coreldraw since last 5-6 months, whenever i drag circle/text/square anything it shows me whatever i selected but after that while making alterations or when i move that thing it shows only outline then i zoom out/in then it shows its actual position, i don't know what the problem, please help me in this.

Thanking you

ANSWER: First of all I need to know what version of Corel Draw that you are using. I am unsure if the problem is more to do with the Coreldraw software or perhaps with your computer.

Slower systems often cant refresh the updated vector art images. I suggest that you check the minimum user requirements of your coreldraw software. If your system more than meet those requirements then you can report this issue direct to Corel via thier website.

They are very good at answering and fixing issues like this. I have had a similar issue like you described and I understand that it is very frustrating. I would also suggest that you update your windows software just in case.

I wish you luck with this issue and hope that you can get it resolved as soon as possible.

QUESTION: I am using Cocoreldraw 11 version, my mistake i change some settings, is it related to grid option or anyother setting, i am using highly configured PC, its not PC problem, 2-3 days back i this problem is not there, please help me in this matter


Thanking you

Answer
I suspected as much, Corel 11 is a pretty old version and I do recall it happening to me as well. I would suggest that you return  back to its factory default settings.

If you do not know how to, then just uninstall the software and then re-install it again. All of your files should remain intact. You will however lose any of your customised workspace.

I never discovered the reason for this bug but I do believe it had to do with the interruptable refresh settings.

I hope that this helps although I know it isn't much help.

Best regards,

Elmer
