Hi Natalie, You could always hide the graphics when you don't need to view them. The keyboard shortcut is Esc+v+v (make sure to type lowercase "v"). The same through menus is "View > Options..." and uncheck "Graphics" in the dialog box. Berny Gagne Lead Writer Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd.

I use a similar amount of work--don't have Illustrator, but have CorelDraw 12. We actually use AutoCAD 2006, but Corel won't open anything newer than 2000, so I save the CAD drawing down to 2000 (actually, I have AutoCAD set to save as 2000 by default for this reason), then open in CorelDraw, clean
