Upgrades to HDW
Thank you for your comments, Charles. I'm one of the original developers
of Harvard Draw, and I'll be sure to pass your comments on to the
development teams. I know they agree with many of your points, and
although I can't announce anything about upgrades, I'm sure you'll be
pleased.
I'm trying to get a better feeling for the way people use Corel's
manipulation effects such as extrusion, warp, etc. Corel's extrude, for
example, isn't as fancy as it could be: the extruded sides of an object are
not shaded, so people are often forced to re-color the sides by hand if
they want a shaded effect. The dialog isn't very friendly, you need to
enter two or three numbers in a non-intuitive fashion. How do you use
Corel's extrude, and what would you do to improve it, or how would you like
to see it implemented in Corel Draw?
Do you produce color separations? If so, what kind of printer do you use
for that?
As for fonts, you'll soon be using TrueType fonts in Windows 3.1. I'm
afraid everyone's disk is going to be clogged with fonts.
