CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: How To Make Flash Animations
Apr 25, 2011
I see that one of the export file formats in X4 (I have CGS) is .SWF, the Flash file format. Can I create Flash animations in CorelDraw using vectors and/or bitmaps (JPEGs) and if so, how?
I would like to be able to design my own artistic brushes. I understood tha I can drop an object or group in the artistic media docker and it becomes a custom brush or spray. I did it and it works well. nevertheless, controlling the size, spray spacing, etc looks like a bit tricky. Is there some reference where I could get more information on "how to make my own brushes"
I have a logo which appears in the footers of all of our technical manuals. Word recognizes it as a picture, and so our printer prints it in color, not black and white, so we are charged for the color copies.
I have exhausted my options in Word, and have been trying to create it as a TrueType font in DRAW, so word just thinks it's a symbol, not a picture.
The only file I have of the logo is a .bmp, so I've been tracing it to get it into vector form to manipulate. However, after all of my welding, combining, front minus back ect. ect. ect., I still can't get it down to the "1 object" requirement to make it a font.
Ive got Coral draw 12. What I want to do is to change normal text to a line so that my laser cutter can pick up the fact that its a line to cut and not an engrave. Or is that not possible? if so what program would i need?
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.
I was asked how to make a honeycomb pattern during the Meet the Master session on facebook. Here is a quick short tutorial on making patterns, specifically the honeycomb pattern in DRAW.
Corel X5 is getting better but Im having trouble making my files to jpeg, last version (X4) you can make your own percentage on making jpeg, right now, I dont know what kind of jpeg will I choose to make my file print on any medium. the choices are only Highest, High (80%), medium (50%) low (20%) and lowest at 0%, every time I choose some and make it CMYK version, the file was damaged and discoloration, how can I do it on coreldraw 15 like what im doing last time on coreldraw 14.
I'm having trouble making fonts using X4. I've found the export "ttf" filter, and the dialog opens for my first letter, which allows me to assign the ASCII position, and that works out fine. A TTF file is created, with that letter shown. However, when I try to export the next object for the next letter, instead of simply opening the assigning dialog for the next object, so as to add to the file, it goes to the dialog asking me to name the file, and when I do, Corel crashes.
I am new to Corel. I understand how to make media brushes but I can't figure out how to set the brush so it repeats and not simply stretch the brush out along the path. I made a simple chain link and I would like to stroke the path and have it come out like a linked chain.
I have Corel 15. I want to take a picture and make it gradually go transparent from the middle of the picture to the top (using Photo Paint I guess), you know the thing with the checkerboard squares. Then I will put it in Draw and overlay some text across the top area where it has gradually gone transparent.
I do not want a sharp line between regular and transparent as if I cut a hole in the background and deleted the hole part. I want a gradual fade sort of transparency for the entire image. I have searched the internet for how to do this even using using Photoshop and there are not instructions available.
I have a need for a macro that I am thinking would be pretty easy to create... I need a macro to cycle through all objects on a page and IF it finds an object that is LARGER than 13" wide, it will unproportionaly size each object to exactly 13" wide (leaving the height of the object alone.) and then after all of the scaling/sizing is complete then to select all objects and right align them (Like when you select all objects and hit the letter R key.
how to make a template for arched text? I have a basic layout for the text, see screen shot. I want to be able to enter in whatever name I want and have the first and last letters be larger with the overall text on an arch.
I have always the problem when I have to make some tickets with serial number on it.
I use some software for that job, but I don't like it. I prefer to work in CDR. I know that there are some scripts for numbering directly in Corel, but I'm not familiar with it.
I like the effect of local equalization for some images. however I want just a hint of the effect and don't know how to get that.
In the dialog box, I move the twin sliders all the way right to 255, that seems to be the least effect, but I would like even less effect than that if possible. Is there another way to get that effect at a reduced amount?

I want to make a series of numbers around the edge of a medallion. I first make a temporary circle (the size of medallion) then curve my numbers to "fit to path". Then I delete the circle. But when I want to edit (make new numbers) they don't fit to the curve anymore. Is there a better way to do this?

I used the trail version of 15 to create files. I found a good deal on 14 and bought that. However none of my 15 files will open in 14. Is there a way to change the property of the 15 file to make it open in 14?
