Join nodes automatically by dragging them together (autojoin).Ability to toggle "fill open curves" which is handy for quickly visually checking open paths for output to machining systems.Auto backups and auto saves to temporary folders.When a filled object is selected, Ctrl clicking another palette color adds that color to the fill in 10% increments.
#CORELDRAW VS ILLUSTRATOR FULL#
Illustrator's compound path uses full object rather than the clip edge when aligning (until CS4).Native barcode creation (part of my job).Additional stacking order options such as "place in front of.(choose object)".Four view modes (wireframe, draft, normal, enhanced).Raster images can be visible in wireframe mode (until CS2).Curve construction seems to relate better to AutoCAD standards for output to plotters/cutters/CNC machines.Higher amount of import and export formats.Strokes can be on the inside, outside or centered (until CS2).Ability to natively draw in standard architectural scales (even very large scales like miles or kilometers).You will also notice some things that Illustrator caught up with Corel on after a while. I went ahead and dug it up when I saw this post, but there were things on that I found were wrong because I didn't know Illustrator as well as I do now. When I was forced to switch, I made a similar list. I think the last CorelDraw version I used extensively was 9. Before that, I used CorelDraw for 7 years (also in the sign industry).
Feel free to correct me if I've unfairly accused Illustrator simply because I didn't a certain shortcut or command.Įdit: Added a few items and fixed some grammar. As I understand it, in AI you must either edit a linked image in Photoshop, or export, edit, and re-import embedded bitmaps. Make your edits, click "Save" and you're all done. In AI it's a huge hassle.īitmap Editor: You can click "Edit Bitmap" in CorelDraw which opens an embedded bitmap in Photo-Paint. Transparent Gradients: Making transparent gradient fills in Corel is a simple one-step process. Also, you can have Powerclipped objects within Powerclipped objects, Inception style. Clipping Masks in AI are much less intuitive. When editing a Powerclipped object, the screen only shows what's in the Powerclip and not everything else that's on the main art board. You can enter said window to edit the contents. Clipping Masks: In Corel, a Powerclip is like a window into another level beneath the art board. Stroked Text: In AI, I don't know of a way to align a stroke to the outside of text (without converting it to outlines). View All: By clicking F4, Corel zooms out to show you every object in the file. It's a great feature which saves you the time of exporting a JPG and uploading it to WTF. You can select an area of a bitmap and it gets automatically uploaded to What the Font. What the Font: It's built right into Corel. In Corel, you can double click a node to delete it, or double click on a path to add a node. They're difficult to select, and you need multiple tools to modify them. Anchor Points: I've always found Anchor Points in AI a pain to work with. Ungroup All: In Corel, you can use one command to ungroup all of the selected objects, whereas in AI, you often need to repeatedly click Ungroup. I hate having to keep going back to the Align panel in AI. Simply click two objects and hit the single-key shortcut to align them (the first object always aligns to the second - no "Key Object" stuff like in AI). In AI, I haven't found a similar function.Īlignment: Corel has very simple align commands. Hopefully Adobe will adopt some of these aspects in CS6.īreaking Text Apart: In Corel, you can break apart lines of text by clicking ctrl-k - it's very simple and quick. I know Illustrator is the industry standard and CorelDraw is its weird Canadian cousin, but Corel really gets a few things right where Illustrator falls on its face.
