Operation Manual

Corel DESIGNER basics | 77
Auto-backup files are named auto_backup_of_filename and can be saved in any folder you specify. Backup files are created when
you save a drawing. They are named backup_of_filename and are always stored in the same folder as the original drawing.
All open or modified files that are not in the Corel DESIGNER (DES) file format are backed up as Corel DESIGNER files.
You can cancel the creation of an auto-backup file by pressing Esc while a file is being saved.
To recover a backup file
1 Restart Corel DESIGNER.
2 Click OK in the file recovery dialog box that appears.
The file recovery dialog box appears upon startup after a system error.
3 Save and rename the file in the specified folder.
If you click Cancel, Corel DESIGNER ignores the backup file and deletes it when you quit the application.
Adding and accessing drawing information
Corel DESIGNER lets you add reference information, such as language, title, author, subject, keywords, rating, and other notes to a drawing.
Although adding document information is optional, doing so makes it easier to organize and locate drawings later on.
The application also lets you access other important document information, such as the number of pages and layers, fonts, object and text
statistics, and the types of objects the drawing contains. You can also view color information such as the color profiles that are used to
define document colors as well as the primary color mode and rendering intent.
