Corel Draw 11 Portable free download
Review:
One of the features that looked exciting to me was the symbols
library function. This feature promised smaller file sizes, as well as
an easier way to reuse existing objects. So I set out to check out how
small the files are.
Before
we talk about the symbol tool and file size, let’s look at how CorelDRAW
does when it comes to keeping file sizes in check. Typically CorelDRAW
has done an excellent job of keeping file sizes down. If you try to compress
a file with a zip program, the size doesn’t change that much. Also
if you have an image in Corel that you duplicate, the resulting file size
is almost negligible. For example, let’s say I have a file with one
photo in it. The file size is 410K. If I duplicate the color photo in
the file, the file size becomes 411K. The difference between the two files
is quite negligible. So CorelDRAW does a good job of keeping file sizes
down when you duplicate objects.
As
mentioned earlier, the symbol function allows us to easily reuse objects
in documents. When I first heard of this function, I imagined having a
collection of my most commonly used images at my finger tips — sort
of like using the symbols and special symbols docker. It is quite easy
to create a symbol. Figure 1 lists four files that I created in CorelDRAW.
The “single” files that were created contained eight images.
The non-symbol file is the eight images just created in Corel. The symbol
file is the same file with the same images in the file but they are in
the symbols library. The second set of files marked “double”
had each image duplicated four times. You will notice that the files that
use the symbols are slightly bigger. The file size reduction only seems
to come into effect if you export the file to a flash format (which we
do not use in our industry).
