Choosing viewing modes

As you work, CorelDRAW lets you display a drawing in any of the following modes:

The viewing mode you choose affects the amount of time it takes for a drawing to open or be displayed on the monitor. For example, a drawing displayed in Simple Wireframe view takes less time to refresh or open than does a drawing displayed in Simulate Overprints view.

Simple wireframe viewing mode (left); Enhanced viewing mode (center), and Simulate overprints viewing mode (right). The fill for the gray diamond shape and the cup’s shadow are set to overprint.

If you are overprinting, it is important to preview the objects in the Simulate overprints mode before printing. The type of objects you are overprinting and the type of colors you are mixing determine how overprinted colors are combined. For more information about overprinting, see Working with color trapping and overprinting.

You can set the default viewing mode by clicking Tools Options, clicking General in the Document list of categories, and choosing an option from the View mode list box.

You can quickly switch between the selected viewing mode and the previous viewing mode by pressing Shift + F9.
