CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Duplicate Overlapping Lines On Puzzles?

Dec 6, 2012

I know this question was posted back in 2010, but thought I would bring it back to the surface to see if anything new has developed.

I am running X4.  I draw jig saw puzzles in CorelDRAW (several shapes that I andomly node-connect) and each piece overlaps adjoining pieces on all four sides and are connected at multiple corner nodes as well as arc nodes. When sending to the laser for cutting, each side of each piece gets cut twice due to the overlapping lines. I was hoping the RemoveUnderlyingDups and NodeClean macro from a 2010 post would take these overlapping lines and create individual horizontal and vertical line segments from the connected nodes so the laser would make one continuous cut rather than duplicating all the cuts.

However, after running the macros, even on a small portion of the puzzle, I didn't get any results. I combined then broke apart as mentioned and still no joy. The only way I have been able to create separate line segments is to cut apart at the nodes and delete individual line segments... on 1250 pieces, with four sides and all sides overlapping, that's 10,000 separate edits... needless to say, duplicate cutting by the laser is faster.

Ideally, being able to create continuous horizontal and vertical lines based on corner node connections, would be the best. At that point, I could cut a 1250 piece puzzle with just 50 continuous horizontal lines and 100 vertical lines.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Ungrouping Overlapping Objects

Sep 13, 2012

I am a screen printer making a leap into the world of CorelDraw.  Loving it so far, especially the trace options.  That being said, I have a piece of artwork that a client wanted me to scan in and trace to see how it would turn out.  The image can be found here:

[URL]....

Problem I am having is the stick figure in front of the cross.  The figure is being grouped with the cross...not allowing me to properly color the image and separate how I need it.  The text needs to be red, the cross black, the hearts red, and the stick people white...will be going on a blue t-shirt. Am I looking at having to create my own lines...or am I overlooking/not thinking of an easy way to do this?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Duplicate Offset

Jun 12, 2011

I want all new documents to have a duplicate offset of 0,0 (so they appear right over top of the original). I can do this in a document... via Tools, options (or customization), document, general

set the x and y of the offset to 0

BUT, click on the "Document" tree branch and there are checkboxes to save the options for new files.

I enable "Save options as defaults..."

and click the "General options"

... and this should include the offset amounts...

click okay...

Then open a new document, draw a squiggle, hit Ctrl-D, but the offset is still .25 x .25.

I've tried clicking the Tools, "Save settings as Default" but that doesn't work either. I've also tried saving the workspace, but that doesn't work.

This feels like a bug, because both the save settings for a new file AND the tools, save settings as default should have saved these document settings (? right?)

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: How To Duplicate Clicking On Screen

Mar 9, 2011

I’d like to copy an object a distance that I specify on screen.  I can see how to copy a specified number of inches, but that is very awkward.  You have to measure the distance (horizontal and vertical) and then input the numbers, then click “apply”. Is there a simpler way to do it?

Or is there a way to paste at a specified location?  If I do an Edit>Copy then Edit>Paste, it pastes the new object on top of the old one.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Duplicate Function Settings

May 24, 2013

I've noticed that DRAW seems to forget whatever settings I choose for duplicate. 

So, I found the following in the index:

"Copying objects quickly. You can use other methods to create copies of objects quickly, without using the Clipboard. You can use the plus sign (+) on the numeric keypad to place a copy of an object on top of the original object, or you can create copies instantly by pressing the Space bar or right-clicking while dragging an object."

The + sign thing is cool.  Wish I had known.  But the Space bar drag either doesn't work at all or puts down one copy at what is apparently a set distance from the original, and then a second copy wherever I release the mouse button.  ?  Win7, DRAW X6.

Is it possible to duplicate pages at a time.  For example, I have 4 pages that are divided into titles per district and I need to set up multiple districts ranging from 3 to 12 ( I have already run Districts 1 and 2)  So instead of copy/paste each title and enter a new layer, can I duplicate the 4 pages and then edit the district numbers?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Lines Appear When Converting To Bitmap

Mar 31, 2011

MGD 64 lemonade to forum.cdr

This isn't something I am in need of because in the future with this graphic I would just convert the background. Just wondering why it made those odd lines coming off of the words and the black bar (I don't know how the heck you guys can post large things, things with motion, etc.  I have to make things miniature to put them on here)

I assume it has something to do with how the original, that came from MillerCoors, has those layers of lines in it.  I just don't get why lines would then be visible when I changed it since nothing like that has happened before.  Oh, and if you are wondering why I converted it, it's because I knew my rip server wouldn't like all that stuff going on in the original

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: How To Make Lines Of Different Thickness

Apr 15, 2011

arrows.jpg

I need to make lines of different thicknesses, with  arrowheads. However, when I increase the line width the arrowhead should not be proportional. It need to stay a bit smaller.

Example:  if the line is expanded to "Thick 3", I need the arrow keeps equivalent to "Thick 2" - for aesthetic reasons.I can do edit as I show in the bottom of the sample picture.

However, I need to build HUNDREDS of arrows of different sizes.Is there any way (Macro function?) permitting I enlarge/reduce line thickness and allowing me to edit the arrow without changing the line thickness?

Important Note: Is not enough I edit some arrows and save them as a kind of Template, then import them to work. The arrows have different ways in thickness and may be straight, curved, winding, etc.. Hence the need to edit the edges easily.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Cutting Lines For JPEG

A customer sent me a jpeg of a white dove that they want printed on vinyl and then contour cut to put on their travel trailer.  The picture was a very low dpi and I scanned it and increased the dpi to 150.  I tried to trace it, but it just would not come out right. 

My question is -- Can I put cutting lines around the dove as a bitmap and then be able to print and contour cut it out?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Bleed Lines For Brochure?

Mar 27, 2011

I am trying to setup an 8.5 X11 sheet on landscape to do a brochure but I cannot add any bleed lines on user defined presets.

When I go to layout>page setup>guidelines>presets>user defined presets. It only gives me the options for margins and # of columns and the distance apart.....but no bleed area

The only way I can add bleed  to the layout is when I go to layout>page setup>size (bleed .125")>guidelines>presets>corel presets> check three column newsletter and check bleed area. But then I cannot adjust the distance apart during setup.
