how long does it take
ive tried the normal open, and import options but both times it sits there for ages sending cpu on full load (CPU fan starts to speed up).
Some ive left for ages and CD still sits there in the locked state - the only way out is to right click on the task bar icon and click close (or ctrl-atl-del) which both give the coreldraw is not responding - end now box.
are there any .ai to .cdr or eps formats that corel draw opens with out having a wobbler when it is a .ai file

I really can't remember to be honest, all I do remember is that receive artwork done as an AI format direct from the printers and we would need to bring it into corel as that's all we had (and what I knew).
I do remember that as an example, this took about 2 hours to import into Corel (without the text, which it just packed in, the original AI file had to have the text stripped out!)
Takes a long time I'm afraid.

This tends to happen when you are trying tp open a newer .ai file than corel can accept. so you need backwards compatibility on your .ai files.
example: your using corel 11, your client is using illustrator CS2, CS2 is newer than corel 11 so corel will struggle to open the CS2 file. You need your .ai files saved down to a earlier version (exported as a legacy file) something like .ai 8 would do fine.
