Coreldraw X7 Google Drive
Rolan Sacco
Corel 7, Windows 98SE,I have created a whopping 475Mb file which is to be output as litho print
quality films.I have opened it to make some last minute client adjustments, and when I
come to save (or save as) after a couple of minutes I get the error:File Copy Error. Temp Drive or Hard Drive may be full.I know the hard drive is not full cos it is 80Gb with nearly 73 Gb's free.
So I can only assume that somewhere Corel has a limit set on it's maximum
Temp File size... am I right or is there another reason...Either way, anyone got a solution for me?Cheers, Dan
Keep with doing 'save as' - at least that will keep it active and
open.Are these changes likely to increase the file size from when it used
to save?If the feeling is not, I'd say you need to clear out the temp files,
possibly defrag (in fact all the usual H/D maintenance things).
Re-boot. Make sure no other apps, anti virus software etc. (end task
to see) that are not absolutely necessary are running.Then fire up Draw and try.Although you have a lot of free space, is this divided up into various
drives? What about the space for temp files? What about the space for
the back-ups etc.?If that is a 475meg file when closed and Corel compressed it could be
anything when open (remember not knowing content). Just pretend it is
in excess of a gig, you could then need a gig free for autobackup, a
gig free for back-up on save (if uncompressed) let alone all the temp
space for windows itself, CorelDraw, the open file and other temp
files. Might be an exageration from Corels memory requirements, but
said to 'give a feel'.Might be that windows itself is getting in a twist rather than Corel.I'd also be inclined to delete all but the default graphic and text
styles and turn off back-up on save and autobackup - this should
reduce temporary space and H/D space required.Does this file contain many of Corels effects in native form?Would this be a muilti-page file? If so I'd also be inclined to split
the file up into a number of smaller documents. As this is version 7
(for native file output) where there is not much in the way of
pagination etc. on output, if this a multi-page brochure, you will be
relying on bench planning to put the film together for plating so the
fact it is over more than one file will not matter so much.Don't think the problem can be specificaly put down to draw in itself.--

The disk drive has only one partition (80Gb) That drive is also assigned to
have the Corel Temp file, the other disk with windows has 2 Gb enmpty space
to use as swap... etc etcI did find that splitting the file into 2 enabled it to save, but this is
not ideal...Still it is a workaround and I will have to bear it in mind...Thanks for your many suggestions and ideas, I will try some of the others
out over the ext little while and see how they go.Dan"Graeme Standage" wrote in message

It is possible that is not enough. Some temp files will get written
there regardless of where you tell draw to put it's autobackup during
operation.The number of undo levels will also effect amount of space required
along with what type of operations you have carried out.Then there is the 'true' memory size of the file to still be
established......
Just to play, open the original corel file with memory/temp settings
as they were, work on it for a while and do a few operations - then
open windows explorer to see how many temp files there are around and
space being taken. Don't expect as much as when you had the problem,
but might be more than anticipated.
Its slow doing everything. Slow to process things in an art project.
As work gets more complicated (more elements on the screen) things get worse.
Even zooming in and out while working is slow.
And whenever it doesn't like a certain process, it just shuts down Corel.
I have run Corel repair system, and even reinstalled Corel just to be sure the software is okay.
- When serious errors occur in Coreldraw, the program goes into a perpetual processing mode
as if its trying to complete a process, but never does. You have to 'end task' the program.
I've never seen anything out of the ordinary when I open Task Manager.
Either 'the program is not responding' or no comment, as if the program is still operating normally (however its in some state of freeze).
OR
it just shuts down, disappears from the screen and you are staring at your desktop.
Then you hope, when you restart Corel, that a temporary saved backup exists and is offered to you.
My issues are just slow and jerky operation, and as on-screen artwork gets more complicated, the software
gets slower, jerkier, glitchier...as I move my view around my project, it seems to have trouble rendering.
Momentary black areas appear before th artwork renders again. Zoom in or out and it freezes momentarily,
or jumps jerkily in or out.
- Event Viewer...I am not really sure of where to look or what to look at, but I went through some Error lists
and I can't find CoreDRW mentioned anywhere. There appears to be thousands of errors logged, reported, etc.
Mostly system things, it seems.
- Nothing is overheating...in fact I have been monitoring temps since i got the new board and cpu...
and because of new fan controllers, I was curious as to what temps the main fans ramped up or down,
and when the GPU fans kicked in.
I also have a low end cooler on the CPU for the time being, so I want to monitor the CPU temp.
I'm happy that it is staying below nominal during various gaming and other things.
- Corel is the only program of this type that I use.
My games all appear to working well...90fps, stable, etc
I have some smaller programs that I use for art and related work, but they are pretty simple stuff as far as rendering things
or dealing with complicated vector and bitmap artwork.
I don't work in 3D (CAD, etc)
Two weeks ago I was running an old FX8300 cpu on an M3A78-CM mainboard with 8GB ram and the same RX580 GPU.
An old system, definitely not a powerhouse, and it struggled a bit in gaming...
but it ran CorelDRW with only a few issues. Just the standard Corel glitches and ocassional Corel related hang-ups.
But it didn't appear to suffer from the same system related problems I am having now.
I expected this new hardware to drastically improve my already passable CorelDRW operations...but its much worse.
And it all feels like its just not able to keep up and render things on the screen.
As a last resort you might want to do an Ingrade Repair of Windows. This is basically running the current Windows Installer while on the Desktop. It will replace your Windows Folder with an new one but with all of your 3rd party Apps intact. Than if you want you can run Windows Disk Clean to delete the old Windows.old folder to save space or leave there in case you want to revert back to that Windows again. I believe Windows automatically deletes that folder after a certain amount of days.
On my computer I have a somewhat similar issue. Sometimes a program would freeze for a second and then return to the desktop as though it was never opened. This happens with Firefox or when I use Kodi occasionally.
On my computer when it freezes for a few seconds especially while watching Kodi my hard drive seems to be running at maximum. Once the short freeze is over the Hard drive is back to it normal operation.
Once again, if you aren't familiar with working in Corel, then it may be impossible for you to get what I am describing.
Imagine holding a pencil and an art pad...and trying to draw a picture.
It involves leaning in and out constantly, toward and away from the page (*zoom in and out with the scroll wheel).
Now imagine trying to do this on a rocking boat thats also banging against the deck...
you keep losing the ability to focus on one spot, grab a detail,
or move your view in and out fluidly and smoothly.
Things get momentarily choppy or slow to react.
Functions are not responsive and then you suddenly lurch ahead as the graphics catch up with what you just did...
or they don't, things just don't happen, and you are left trying to complete the action.
Honestly, this is more like a graphics card that can't keep up in a game.
(although not like game lag)
And it only started with this new motherboard and cpu.
I'm questioning whether Adrenalin is the correct software to have installed?
Is this just for games, and may be hurting my Corel performance?
Or can I adjust things for Corel (from within Adrenalin)?
In your case, Thanks for explaining it in layman terms the issue you are having with CorelDraw. I can see how it can be frustrating having a newer more powerful and faster computer and CorelDraw is worse.
AutoCAD and VIZ are now licensed on annual terms and it will not let me install and run my 2008 version license anymore. Since I have been retired for over 12 years now I really don't have much use for either program and will not pay for an annual license.
This is purely a CorelDRW versus new MotherBoard issue.
As I mentioned, minor issues from before are now major issues.
I looked into whether I can tweak Adrenalin and the GPU for the Corel application.
But Adrenalin appears to only be for Gaming apps.
I wasn't aware of this.
The main difference between this new MB and my old one, is no onboard Graphics.
I am now relying solely on my GPU...which I assumed I was doing before...but I wonder if Corel relied to any extent on the onboard graphics of my old board? Is that possible?
Obviously, the onboard graphics would not have been very capable, but I could still run CorelDRW without my Graphics Card installed. Not very well, I admit, but it did work.
