CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Adding New Line Styles?

Jul 14, 2012

In CDraw X5 I can choose line styles. But I would like to add some more styles (and to remove some that I never use).I only found a possibility to create new styles based on a kind of a pixel approach: A one-by-many array of single squares can be marked to be coloured of white, producing dashed lines with any kind of dash length.Also, the dash "frequency" seems to be dictated by the line width only; I do not manage to make thin dashed lines with a reasonably visible dash frequency.

However, I would like to make line consisting of other shapes, like circles, triangles, diamonds, etc., either filled or "open". Or make thin dashed lines with user-specifiec dash and space lengths that do not change when changing the line width. Is this possible?

Also, multi-colour dashes – with e.g. odd-numbered dashes in one colour and even-numbered ones in another color – might be useful.

In the current version, however, the number of dash schemes available is big enough to be confusing. Especially when the line is made relatively wide – say, 0,5 .. 1 mm or so – and I want to make more lines with the same shape, than it is difficult to find again the same shape the list of standard shapes. Is it possible to add names (or numbers, but not just running numbers!) to the shapes, so that a shape can be found again easily?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Adding Color To Imported Scan Of Line Drawing

Dec 16, 2012

How can I make an imported scan of a line drawing "transparent" and add color fills to various sections, using the freehand tool ? I have done this many times with an older version of CorelDraw,  but in CorelDraw- x5  the

imported scan includes a white background (even when I select NO FILL),  so that my freehand tool selections are either on top of, or hidden behind the white background.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Macro For Styles

Jul 19, 2011

Is there maybe a macro for styles (either text or graphics) that

1. connects objects assigned with a style, to that style LIVE? eg, altering the style properties, automatically all objects assigned with that style will adopt those changes too, 

2. offers LOT more configuration options than the current default CorelDraw styles options

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Text Styles

May 30, 2012

Problem with text styles: I have a big body of text, with several styles applied. The problem is, editing one of the styles does not affect the text that has this style applied to it. Changing the style or creating a new style does not work - it's like these particular parts of text are immune to editing the style. It works only when I select the text and manually apply the style. Further editing the style does not affect this text, I have to manually select it and apply the style again.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Clearing All Color Styles?

Oct 4, 2012

I'm just checking back in to see any updates on how to quickly and easily clear all color styles in a document.  I've tried the following:

Os's nifty color styles patch (comes with recentfilesDecBeta macro)

saving as CMX (that bites because it converts underscores to objects and other mean things)

manually (takes too long and sometimes replaces colors in current document then save settings as default (I not like this).

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Mirror / Reflect About A Line But Line Is Inside Object

Jan 4, 2013

how to mirror about a line, but the line was outside the object.

I now have a need to mirror about a line but the line is partially inside the object (so after mirroring the object would be overlapped). When I select both objects and try to create the mirror, the "axis" of the reflection is simply the edge of the object, not the line.

When the line was outside, that worked simply because when you selected both objects the line brought the outside of both selected objects to that point so it simply mirrored / reflected at that point (the line). So the line was not truly acting as a point of reflection. Hope that made sense.

I think I'm about to buy Cadtools from Macromonster but I would like to know if Draw has a way of acheiving this. Hey I may find out Cadtools can't reflect when the line is inside the object.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Line Tool Can Change A Line To Dashes

I would like to add the effect of hand stitched thread around some of my designs. The line tool can change a line to dashes but this is a bit too uniform for hand stitching. I have seen a tutorial on doing this in Photoshop where a brush is made with a few small different length strokes. this is then spaced out and made to follow a path. how to create a hand stitch effect using X5 that looks like natural hand stitching...

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Document Palette Adding Colors

Feb 22, 2012

My document palette adds the same colors that are NEVER in my art every time. I swear it's a glitch. The colors are so bizzare. And when I go to delete any of them, it says I can't because they are in use. But they are for sure not being used.

Here's a list of the colors:

Black A0QM, Pantone 142, Black A0QM (1), Black A0QM (2), Black A0QM (3), DIC 2287p* (1), PANTONE 142 (1), Black A0QM (4), PANTONE 142 (2), Black A0QM (5), Black A0QM (6), Black A0QM (7), DIC 2287p* (1) (1), PANTONE 142 (3)

That's the order they are always in. I don't even know where you would get any of those colors and what they would be used for? Except the Pantone of course.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Completely Eliminate Asian / Middle East Entries From Default Text Styles?

Nov 10, 2011

I was wondering why Batang and Arial were appearing in the Fonts under Document Properties when I had not actively used them in my "New" document.

When I looked at the Default text files, I believe I see the reason. I find Batang listed as the default Asian Text font for both Artistic and Paragragh Text. The options for Asian Text don't seem to include any fonts that I have on the old machines.

Similarly, the Middle East Default Text style would seem to generate the Arial(Arabic) entry in the required fonts.

Is there a way to completely eliminate the default Asian Text  and Middle East entries from the default text styles?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Adding Dots From Post Script Options To PANTONE Colors

Jul 29, 2011

I work in a print shop. We do a lot of work with a printing press as well as our digital machines. Whenever we design something digitally that has grayed areas or logos, and we want to print it using our press, we need to make sure the shaded areas have "dots" so that the ink from the press will spread evenly.

In CorelDRAW X4, I used to to have it sent to the general PANTONE uncoated palette. After selecting the gray area, I would double click the color box at the bottom right, bringing up the fill window. From here, I selected the Options drop down menu, then PostScript Options. Here I could set the dots and the frequency.

Now that we've updated to CorelDRAW X5, the palette options are quite different. I want to have one centralized PANTONE unocated set that stays for everything I work in. And the big problem, is that when I do find a good gray to use (after clicking through way too many choices), the PostScript Options is grayed out and can't be clicked on.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Object Styles - None For A Single Object Attribute?

Dec 9, 2012

Is there a way to exclude single attributes from being defined in a object style? As example: i want to define an outline that does not change width of the objects, but everything else.

There is a small tick box right of every attribute with help text "None   this object attribute is not defined by a custom style" but i can not mark it. My feeling is, that i need to switch on this tick box to get the result i need, but i can not. When i click on it, it just gives me a greyed out "Revert". When i try to make child styles, there is a way to break the connection to parent style with these tick boxes, but no luck.

Is it a bug? I tried it with X6, X6.1 and X6.2

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Node / Line Editing

Mar 11, 2011

in earlier versions of draw you could move one end of line with the pick tool by moving the cursor over the end node grabbing it and moving it where ever you wanted. With x5 it seems that you must go to the node editing tool to select the node. Is there a setting I'm missing that will allow the pick tool to select node?
