Updates and Opportunities for CorelDRAW users

February 12th, 2009 Val Posted in CorelDRAW, CorelDRAW Continued, CorelDRAW Intro, General LVS info | No Comments »

Well, since CorelDRAW is now 20 years old, all sorts of good things are happening. In my last post, I told you about the Design contest that will be running through May 31st. That link will get you to a blog on CorelDRAW.com that lists the links for specific details for the contest in several languages.

As another part of the celebration, you can also purchase a special Anniversary Edition of CorelDRAW that includes a Wacom Intuos3 A6 (4×6) pen tablet and the new Corel Painter Sketch Pad software all in the same package. If you need to update to X4 anyway and need a new tablet, this might be the way to go. I use the Intuos A6 myself and enjoy it.

One of those in the know at LVS has also told up that Corel is currently offering free shipping on orders over $99 if you use the coupon code COREL99. I don’t know how long that offer lasts or any more details, but it’s certainly worth a shot at checkout!

I also mentioned in my last post that SP2 is now out for CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4. The easy way to find it is to open CorelDRAW to the Welcome Magazine and look on the Updates tab. Click the little Product Updates icon or link. You’ll find a link there for your particular language version. This update will be LARGE (somewhere around 62MB for the English version.) It will update the whole suite, not just CorelDRAW. If you’ve turned off the Welcome Mag, clicking on the Help/Updates menu will also get you to the same place. Of course, you’ll need to have an internet connection running for CorelDRAW to be able to find the update information. If you don’t get the update link through CorelDRAW itself, check the Patches and Updates link at Corel.com.

If you haven’t upgraded to SP1 yet, SP2 includes the SP1 patch so you only need do the one download.

Now let me remind you that registration is open at LVS. Starting this session, the CorelDRAW – Continuing the Adventure class is now available for those using CorelDRAW X4 as well as versions 12 and X3. Folks using X4 should take both parts of the Introduction to CorelDRAW class first. Here are the direct links to this session’s CorelDRAW classes:

CorelDRAW X4 Introduction – Part 1

CorelDRAW X4 Introduction – Part 2

CorelDRAW X3 Introduction – (only 1 intro course for X3)

The X3 introduction course or BOTH parts of the X4 Introduction course are required for the NEWLY UPDATED

CorelDRAW – Continuing the Adventure (otherwise known as CorelDRAW Continued)

There are also Self Study courses for those of you using older versions of CorelDRAW. You can find those and other great LVS courses on this page.

Have fun!
