CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Changing Form Of Rectangle
May 21, 2013
I am trying to do this tutorial: [URL]....... but I have a trouble at Step 3 : Creating Web Header - rather: Now go to the " Shape Tool ", double click on the bottom middle line to create a custom node / corners.
I use the default page very unusal way by keeping the width & height with max. page size. I need your favour as if i want to A4 page border i am going back again and choose a4 page and double click on the rectangle to achieve it and again i choose by max. page.
create a a4 page border, or any preferred size for executing them using shortcut while keeping my max. page size.
I am trying to do a fancy rectangle box 183mm width and 91mm high, in the centre is a clock face 93mm in diameter, and i want to have a nice curve effect as i have tried t to show in the about terrible sketch, making them look like shoulders.
I just got CorelDRAW X5 a few days ago. Until then, I had never drawn anything on a computer..Suppose I use the rectangle tool to create a box. How can I remove one of the edges ? That is, how do you remove a line-segment from a filled-object ?
Still on the basics, here's a demo video that includes adding a macro form and sizing of some selected shapes. I had fun doing this one but it's hard trying to squeeze everything into a short video (to keep video file size low).
We have problems with some fonts, they display as rectangles on screen but prints just fine. Tested on both a W7 and a XP computer with all patches/updates installed. The same fonts displays fine in other applications...
I tried to apply a transparency to a beveled rectangle and was unsuccessful to get any effect to apply. Tried to make the bevel first and then apply transparency and vice-versa, a transparent rectagle and tried to do bevel effect. Neither way would work.
Don't they play nice together, or do I have to try it in PP?
I like my coreldraw x4. This sign shop actually has a copy of x5 but it was so so so so awful that we had to take it off of the computer.
I am having more and more problems opening pdf's. I end up with a rectangle with a line across the corner. I'm assuming the people sending have newer adobe than what x4 can handle? I can open the pdf;s in adobe reader but only give option to save as pdf. I just looked and it says PDF VISTA . Is there a way to save them as an older one? Kind of how corel draw can be saved as an older version?
And for some odd reason, on one of the computers (the one that has the email that these pdf's come from) doesn't show them with the pdf icon on the desktop. It has the green corel draw icon instead.

I have just upgraded from X4 to X6 and found that when using the paint tool, the cursor disappears at the end of the action, and appears again when the cursor is moved again.This happens when the user interface setting is set to 'Shape cursor for brush tools".
More of a concern for me is when the Eyedropper tool is set to 'Select sample', (the one I always use), no rubber rectangle is drawn to show the area that is being sampled.That is, it is supposed to draw a dynamic rectangle in a similar way that the rectangular mask tool selects an area with a rectangle changing size with movement of the cursor.The eyedropper samples the correct pixels, but does not draw the enclosing rectangle.I have tried running it in all comparability modes except for 256 color and 640 x 480 resolution, which aren't options for me.
X4 didn't exhibit these problems so I can't understand how it can't be a bug, especially since the rectangular mask tool draws the rubber-banding rectangle without a problem. At this point would be preferring to be using X4.
If I covert a font or shaped image under Bitmaps=>Convert to Bitmaps, I get a white solid background. In Corel x5 this would be a clear background. Also I can no longer Cover to Bitmap a photo then open with bitmap editor to create rectangles or ovals with clear faded edges. These are items I use all the time. How do I achieve this now. Also x6 will not save in x5 version. It will warn me of potencial problems then fail.
I am having a problem with cutting the size of text that I want. On the main working screen I type in the specific dimensions of the text that I want to cut ( I have a graphtec cutter). When I pull up "Cut/Plot" in the dialog box under Job Size....the size is NEVER what I have specified. It is normally smaller.I will then type the dimensions into the Job Size field and cut the letter. BUT when I cut the letter......it is not the size I typed into the job size.
I'm surprised that a lot of "application data" seems to be stored under the Program Files Folder. I thought this was a no-no? I'm particularly thinking of :
C:Program FilesCorelCorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6Custom Data C:Program FilesCorelCorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6DrawCustomMediaStrokes C:Program FilesCorelCorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6DrawGMS C:Program FilesCorelCorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6DrawPresets C:Program FilesCorelCorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6DrawWorkspace C:Program FilesCorelCorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6Programs64Addons
Is there anyway to move the default locations, perhaps by a registry hack? I'd like to move it, at least to the AppData folder or even to another drive where it is easier to backup/make changes.
I'm trying to figure out how to accurately display the current rotation angle of an object in DRAW X6. Based on my drawing precision settings, the angular accuracy is there, but it's not properly displayed.
IE - If I type in 5.05 deg rotation, it will DISPLAY 5.1 but will actually be 5.05.
Is there a way to update the display to show more than one decimal place for rotation?
I have a client who is waiting for a flyer design i did. So i created a christmas flyer. It looks nice with christmas colors and all. When i go to convert it into a jpeg in photo paint, the green changes to lime green and the other colors change as well. To florescent vibrant type. This just started happening recently. When i played around with settings, i saw something about RGB, CMYK (which dulls everything).
When I copy and paste a block of text, and then use the x and y coordinates to move it into position, the text characteristics change. It becomes all caps, and italicized text becomes non-italic. This happened with both Perpetua and Stone Sans.
I seem to vaguely recall a method from some vector drawing program where you can press or hold ctrl or alt or shift and change the next type of node you will draw while using the bezier tool, or the pen tool, or the multi-line tool.
Is there any way to do this in 12, or use VBA to make it happen. I really just need to switch back and fourth between cusp and symmetrical.
Been a CorelDraw user for a long time. Just installed x6 (previous X4), and tried to export an image to jpg. X6 seems to have this dialog box with all these presets. How do I manually set my resolution, pixels, etc. as in the previous versions?
it is possible to change the background color of the application window ?
I would like the whole area outside the drawing window (the drawing page) to be grey, so that it can be clearly distiinguished from the actual drawing page, which is white, with a shadow line around the drawing page.
I've been using Corel Draw! 8 for years and my favorite tool was the angle of rotation. For example, I would select an object, usually a rectangle that has the point of rotation at end of the narrow rectangle. As I rotated it, I could see how much the angle of rotation in degrees is. Therefore I could type a value in the box and the rectangle would rotate some many degrees. Fast forward to my Corel Draw 12. Now when I click on the same object, the box will display what the angle is in degrees already based on the circular angle startingaat the nine o'clock position. I need it to say ZERO and I can't find the setting to set it at zero
what I am drawing is I rotate a narrow rectange and basically creating a dial face for instruments.
The company i work for has full dye sublimated uniforms. our customer base would really like to use photographs on their shirts but we are unable to control the colors. We have a color palette that our factory uses to color match everything. how do i change colors in photoshop (channels) to match our color palette in corel so that there is consistency and the images don't appear washed out or flat.?
I have installed corel draw x5..while installing it dint ask any language, it kept on installing. After installing im not able to understand the language. How can i change it to English?
how to take a jpg or gif file and change the colors of the image? I am having difficultly doing so. It is our company logo which is in 2 colors and I merely want to change it to white.
I have taken some pictures with my camera, I cannot adjust the white balance of the camera, so the pictures come out with a slight grey background. I want to change that to a white background.
