Key Commands changing?

[Colin]

X5

Lately I've had key commands change on me twice! I had Ctrl+Page Down for "Send to Back", and Ctrl+Page Up for "Send to front", and all of a sudden it goes back to what I assume is the default of Ctrl+End / Ctrl+Home.

How & why does this happen?

One thing I dont like about coreldraw is that most options are specific to the file that is open...

a long time ago i found a way to open the default.cdr file, make option changes, then save it back as default, but I have since forgotten where the file resides...might have been called default.cdt? who knows

Not certain but I think it's called normal.cdt

I have always used Shift+Page Up/Down for going to the Front or Back of the drawing.
And Ctrl+Page Up/Down for stepping Back and Forward one object at a time.
It's worked like that since forever

Once you have you Keyboard short cuts set up the way you want just go to Tools>Save Settings as Default.

Have you Applied Service Pack 3 from the Corel site?

I can't recall. Before I attempt to do it, how can I see if that's been done?

Go to Help>About Corel Draw and your version Number should be:
15.2.0.695

Thanks; nope, I've got 15.2.0.686

Service Pack 3 is a cumulative fix and sorts out a lot of instability with CDX5 use the link I posted in the above message and update.

Will do - thanks (busy using it right now). It's been very stable for me though.

Heh heh, oh ya - that. I guess I meant in terms of crashing/hanging etc.

 

[Colin]

Done.

What's with that "Hot Fix 4" update - should I do that one too?

*added: After doing that SP3 download, I still have 686 showing. (???)

Yes do the hot fix it fixes problems with JPG exports, maybe that will get you the right Ver No.

Have you restarted Corel??

Ya, it asked me to close it before the install would commence.

 

[Colin]

Giddy Up!

One thing I forgot to say: Before I did these updates, I clicked on Help > Updates, and got the message "There are no updates available at this time". Why would it give that message when there clearly was updates available?
