I have a big problem with CorelDraw X4. When there is multiple pages in one document, and I go to print, it do preflight. If I change print range, or enter printer properties during preflight, program crashes without any warning, and I lose all opened documents.
View 2 RepliesI have a complex (includes tints) clip art object that needs printing in a specific pantone color I just convert it to grayscale using edit>find and replace objects>color mode. then print it as a black plate and just use another color on press.
Today I had to send off artwork to another printer. Dang. How to install a macro. Import clip art to be modified to a new document, do not do this in your working document.
Use Edit>Find and Replace> Find Objects
Replace a color model or palette. Next
Leave as is except change Replace with color model to "Grayscale" Next>Replace all
Repeat 2-4 for 'outlines' if you have them.There you now have a gray scale clipart, but the fun continues!You'll need to know what pantone color you want to use. Let's say Reflex Blue. Make a square and color it Reflex blue from a pantone palette.Duplicate the square and create swatches at 90% 80% 70% etc down to white.Select these square swatches, then Windows>Color Palette>Create Palette from Selection. Save palette with a temporary name, it is only time use. Or you could call it 'Reflex Blue'Now go to this website and download the macro "limit colors" URL...
Drop it in your GMS folder in under your username to install the macro. (might have to save the drawing and restart Corel...)Once you reopen your now grayscale clipart document, Select the clipart. Run the macro (Tools>Macros>Run Macros) LimitColors.Posterize select the number of colors in your new palette if you created 10% swatches, go with 11, if you did steps of 20% then you'll do 6 (don't forget white).Run the macro LimitColors.LimitColors and select your new palette you made in step 9.
X5 Recently have begun missing parts of print out. Tried to duplicate but appears completely random.
Output to both Full colour laser and Wide Format printers will miss either text or part of objects. Today printed the text but not the text effects. Initially closed and reopened, rebooted, However this has become a now daily feature so regardless tried reprint from the same screen so next print has everything included.
Very costly and time consuming - print preview shows all correct but output is not the same.

I want to align an object (i.e a rectangle) for example to be in possition x:15cm and y:12,5cm but concerning the edge of the rectangle (or the right/left side of the rectangle) and NOT the center of it.
How to customize the properties of the alignment???

When i install my Corel draw 12 from cd it crashes when i use a tool

We have X5 installed on four computers at work and on two of the machines (including mine) X5 will crash everytime (100%) when trying to export to jpg. It does not even get as far as a dialog box its just crashes straight away. I it does this everytime on two comuters without fail.
Is there a way of viewing an error report? Or what would I have to do to file one?
I can export to other formats just fine, it only seems to be JPG....
I am running windows 7 and X5 SP2
Applying contour to a text and trying to apply a drop shadow afterwards, the drop shadow properties can not be set.
No matter what item you select in the Object Manager, the drop shadow toolbar's controls are all disabled.
PS: I just noticed this is true for the drop shadow tool in CorelDRAW X6.2 in gereral. I'm not able to edit any of the drop shadow properties.

My corel x5 opens with object properties are set with x no fill and on opening a new document and creating a shape, it has no fill.
My boss opens corel x5 and his object properties are set with x no fill but on opening a new document his properties change and a blue color shows in his fill, and of course when he creates a shape it is filled with this blue color.
Yes, he can just change the properties to x no fill each time he opens a new document but i wondered if we can change it and have it set at x no fill as the default ? I have tried everything I can think of but it seems to want to keep this blue color as the default.

In Xara Photo & Graphic Designer, a program that I otherwise don't need, you can combine line qualities, like thin-to-thick, with brushstrokes (see attached sample). Is this possible in CorelDRAW? I've been trying to find a way, with no success.

I have clicked something which has removed the fill and outline properties of an object which appeared at the bottom task bar.
A little paint brush told me the fill colour and a pen told me the outline properties.
How do I get them back?
I upgraded to x5 from corel 11 last year. Crashes frequently and corrupts file. I have to make copy after copy to keep from loosing all of my work. I am at the point I can not do my work. Sometimes files just become so slow and then just crash. I can take the same file that is slow, save as ver 11 and open in corel draw 11 and works great. I have never had so many problems with a program in my life. I am now downloading hotfix 4 and service pack 3 and will install, but I am not very optimistic.
There is not particular situation that the files cause the program to crash. It is nothing that complex. Seems to be often when I try to save or when I have multi pages.
Here is my system info.

I've got Service Pack 3 which is the latest and greatest and am still finding that I cannot export to any bitmap format even in PhotoPaint. I can save as a .cpt file in PhotoPaint. Sometimes I send out .jpeg proofs and doesn't matter whether it is X5 Draw or PhotoPaint, it crashes.
I do not have this problem when I export the same thing from X4 Draw or PhotoPaint.
I am running XP on a virtualized Windows environment via Parallels desktop for Mac. I have plenty of RAM and hard drive space so it may be because I am not running Windows 7?
When copying text from web pages to CDX6 it will often crash on paste. A workaround is to copy to Word first but I'd rather CDR worked properly. Is there anything I could look at within CDR to stop this from happening?
Version 16.2.0.998 on 64bit, Win 7.
Photo-Paint crashes when saving twice out of three times...
When I edit a bitmap object from Draw, I always have to start my editing over and over.I lose my object. So...I do a workaround...I export the selected object, open it in Photo-Paint to edit it.
When saving...same thing. Except, the file saves properly. It's just that Photo-Paint crashes.
It used to do that with my older X4 version as well...I skipped the X5 and when on to the X6.
It still crashes, but even more...thing is...Both programs were installed on two different computers.
I'm running Coreldra X4 on a windows vista machine. Lately I started having a courious problem with Coreldraw x4. When a try to open a cdr file before opening CDX4 i get an error message saying that the file dos not exist. after this CDX4 crashes.
On the other side if I open CDX4 and then try to open the very same cdr file everything is ok.
I successfully installed CorelDraw X6 but I am unable to open it. It starts to load and then it crashes. At first I thought it was a bad install, so I uninstalled and reinstalled and it still won't open. Norton AV was turned off during both installs. I have searched and see that quite a few users have the same problem but I haven't found a cause or solution. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, Intel i7, 16 GB ram.

We do a lot of print merges, more than 100 a day. Happens randomly, but mainly after several jobs have been printed (jobs, 5-10, still open in X5 in case som modifications are needed).

We have CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 installed on a Windows XP SP3 32-bit machine and when attempting to export a CorelDRAW file to anything (i.e. JPG), the applications crashes after the export dialog box opens. This happens for any file we try to export.
We have reset the workspace using F8, but it did not resolve the issue.
Exporting the same file in CorelDRAW X4 or even X3 works perfectly, this is only an issue with X5.
I have the entire subscription of 'Corel 6X'. I have been using it for a few months with no problems, even after I did the 8.1 update. Now all programs will load and run except for 'Draw 6X', it starts to load and then it will start to 'load environment' and then crash. As I said above, every other part of the suite open and run fine.
I can give you no information about updates or version as it won't load so I could check for updates. I searched for other post, and it returned no other similar problems listed for 'Draw 6X'. If I get no answers I'll just un/re install that program itself and see if that fixes things.
I am on a Dell PC with plenty of everything running Win 8.1 64 bit and running the online yearly subscription of 'CorelDraw 6X' 64 bit version that was up to date and working fine on 8.1 fine for more than a month. Now the 'splash' screen shows and gets to 'loading environment' and then the quaint Win window comes out 'There is a problem and windows has to close this program'.

Corel Crashes after I applied the updates 1-3 & 4 in CorelDRAW X5.

Copy drop shadow properties is not working for me. When I click on the object to copy to, it tells me, "you did not click on an object." What do I need to do?
Edit: actually, I'm seeing that this is not working in Contour, either. And it may not be working in other effects as well, although I haven't tested those.
How do I save custom fill properties/gradients so that I can use the same exact gradient on other things? Also,custom fills never go all the way to the edge of things. There is always a little slice that is left white. How do I prevent that?
And while I am asking, can an outline have a gradient?

CorelDraw X6 Patch 3 HF 1 (although this seems consistent across a number of versions)
We've noticed in some of our files (especially files that have been around for a long time) that the Document Properties lists a lot more fonts than are actually used in the file. Additionally, other users are prompted to replace missing fonts that aren't used in the file either.
Is there some way to have CorelDraw rebuild/purge its Document Properties (or at least the fonts)?
Recently I've been having problems with X5 and Xerox Print drivers. After the installation the Color Option in the print properties get's grayout and I can't make any selection. If the customer has the print driver in default for Black and White for him to change to Color I had to install a second print driver. This only happens with Corel X5 and Windows 7.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a design on one layer, and a boundary line around the design on another layer. visually on the screen they both line up . However, when I print the images, they do not line up - they are significantly out of line with each other. It is as if they have been printed to different paper settings., for example the registration marks are not line up.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have just had to install Windows 7 64 bit and now find that when I print to my HP Business Inkjet 2300, I can only print 1 page. If I set the quantity to 5, I still get just 1 page. HP won't be updating the driver as they say that the printer is obsolete although they are still selling it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHave created a customised label equivalent to Avery L6008 - very small labels 7 across and 27 labels down. Prints perfectly. However, I would like to be able to vary the design and print different labels across the 7 columns. Either at the creation stage - use the template and select which column is utilised or at the printing stage restrict the printing to 1 column only. Does this make sense?
These are for some Geocaching buddies who want their own name on the labels and a full sheet of 189 labels is too much.
I'm using Corel X3 graphics. Windows Vista. HP officejet pro 8500a premium printer. I'm trying to print a file I used to print all the time. It's a map with bitmaps. I must have accidently changed some settings in CDX3 because now it prints too large--it won't even fit on the page. I've tried changing every print setting that relates...Fit to Page, etc. I also restarted corel while holding down the F8 key to reset the factory defaults. I've re-installed Corel 3 times! I'm at my wits end.
