when buying from ebay or individual or other than authorized outlets, be careful of the product..make sure it is authentic and can be registered. It looks like the standard price for Drawings X3Pro is $1799...maybe you can find an upgradeabe drawing standard that you can buy and then upgrade.
Even though this is an ebay listing, the seller Allbrands is an authorized Corel Drawings distributor. The $1,299 is the same price you would pay for it on their website.
They are also selling version 2 for $999. I wonder how much an upgrade from 2 to 3 costs.
That price at allbrands is NOT for the pro version. it is another $800.
Which version of the software you have? Look what I found! This is a FAQ answer: ----------------------------------------- “What is the price of the upgrade (to DRAWings 4) for DRAWings® Pro users and what is the price for DRAWings® standard Users? The upgrade price for every DRAWings Pro user (i.e. DRAWings v1, v2, vX3 Pro editions) will be US$299/€210 and the upgrade price for every DRAWings Standard user (DRAWings v.1, v.2, v.X3 Standard editions) will be US$699/€500.” --------------------------------------------- http://www.drawstitch.com/DRAWings4FAQ.htm
So if you have any version of the software it is better to upgrade it to the latest DRAWings 4.
Do your homework before purchasing future DrawWings - it is no longer affiliated with Corel and after July, you'll have to call support in Greece. I would do some comparison shopping with them and Wilcom - who is now with Corel. Let's see, where is the link I got today... http://www.smartdesigns.com/pdf/drawings.pdf
Until now I was getting support from drawstitch.com and I am really satisfied with the quality and the response time. I do not think that smartdesigns has the best support around. They know a lot about CorelDRAW but too few things about embroidery. I am big fun of DRAWings because I earned a lot of money with the designs I created. In one month time I earned 10 times up the money I spent for the software. I will stick with it.
There are a lot software out there. Buy the one that fits your needs.
Just bought Drawings 3X Pro for $1800 directly from Corel. I've since found out Corel is dropping Drawings and releasing DecoStudio in March. The Feb upgrade you hear about id for CorelDraw 4.0, not Drawings.
This product will integrate CorelDraw with Wilcom software, which is "real" digitizing software. Corel is selling it for $2000 and are taking back my Drawings Pro in exchange. Those who have older Drawings can update for $999 and they will let you keep your Drawings dongle too.
Check out the product at Corel or Wilcom websites. Wilcom site has a video demo of the program.
Hi!
I have not been the user of Deco or Drawings. However, I have greatly been following the news and trends in embroidery software market. I strongly suggest to carefully study the weakness and strength of each software brand name and then make your decision on the purchase. Every software has its own strengths and weaknesses. Let the dust settle. I too am excited about new software and updates but from time to time I have to suppress myself not to get overly excited .
where can I buy a Corel Drawings X3?
