What I mean by "all over the place" is the artwork often doesn't blow-up to full size accurately. The end results can be all over the place when that CDR file is opened in a different version of CorelDRAW, opened in CorelDRAW on a different computer or exported to a different application. CorelDRAW allows this with its "Edit Scale" function. I really do not like applying scale percentages to rulers. You can't do squat with elaborate OpenType font character sets in Flexi. Plus Flexi is stuck clear back in the 1990's with its outdated type handling. Unfortunately Flexi does not draw with the precision level of CorelDRAW or Illustrator. That's going to leave Illustrator users stuck with using some kind of scale percentage on large designs.ĬorelDRAW has a 1800" X 1800" max art board size, but page sizes above 1000" will often bring up the pop-up message "this zoom has exceeded the boundaries of the drawing space, your window will be adjusted accordingly." Flexi can go bigger. Adobe has received a ton of user feedback regarding the art board size limits, but I don't think they're going to do anything about it anytime soon. Back before Adobe re-built Illustrator on PDF technology at the end of the 1990's (it was a purely Postscript application before) the max art board size was only around 10' X 10'. The max art board size in Illustrator is currently 227" X 227". CorelDRAW and Flexi both provide a lot more breathing room than Illustrator. 99% of the time I am making my artwork at full size. I work in scale only when I have no other choice.
