To Create High-Quality Vector Images for Free, Look No Further Than Inkscapeīecause Inkscape is able to work with many different image formats, it has enabled me to convert raster images to vectors at work, making it possible to print high quality promotional material. For this reason, I tend to use CorelDraw for complex large diagrams

When working on very large and complex diagrams with many layers, Inkscape can become quite slow to respond. Perhaps it was implemented, but I have not been able to get Inkscape to work this way Inkscape developers stated several years ago that this feature would be implemented. I can then create separate image files /diagrams for roads, river systems, housing, and vegetation for use in documents or academic articles. ie) having a Road Layer, Water Layer, Houses Layer, Vegetation Layer, etc allow me to turn on only the layer I want to display. This is immensely useful for creating maps as each layer can be turned on or off depending on the type of map you want to create. Inkscape does not seem to be able to do this.

In CorelDraw, I used to organize objects in my drawings by placing them in different layers. A more convenient option would be to list all docker panels in the software menu VIEW drop-down list or perhaps somewhere else. The same slow procedure must be repeated for Layers: navigate to the software menu, click on LAYER, and then click on 'Layer' to turn on the Layer docker panel.

Currently, the user must navigate to the software menu, click on OBJECT and then click on 'Object' to turn on the Object docker panel. Dockers are sidebar panels that display information about layers and objects in the drawing. The way Inkscape handles docker panels is somewhat confusing.
