Here is a free macro which saves a little time. It creates an inner shadow on one or more selected shapes. There are a few presets on the macro and if you want to adjust the transparency slightly, click the undo arrow, adjust the transparency and then reapply.
My problem concerns about shadows of outline In fact, I want to create a soft, shaded border. Effect which I want to achieve can be seen in the picture below, basically it is a design of an soccer jersey.
I tried drop shadow technique but the result is too large and inaccurate shadow. Also, I tried to create an custom artistic media brush, but the result is not as I expected. Is it out of a job that Corel can perform ?
I often have the need to remove the drop shadow effect. Currently what I do is to "Break Drop Shadow Group Apart" then delete it from object manager. However with other effects such as Transparency, I can simply set the Effect to None. Can this be done with Drop Shadow?

But when I print the document, the box surrounding shadow (the one I can use to change dimension or rotate, which isnt visible) changes my dark gray background.

How To Use or Add Vactors Shapes In Corel Draw ?
.eps file
I apply a red glow on an object (rectangle) on an black background.When exported as JPEG or PDF, the red glow color faded become greyish. I check that it's same when I turn the proof colors on.I've change different modes for the drop shadow but none gives the correct result.
This only happens in CMYK mode. When exported as RGB, it's fine.
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.
CorelDRAW Graphic Suite X6.4 @ Windows 7/Windows 8 - 64 Bit, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012
I'm trying to find the best way to fill a shape with other shapes( a with a specific size), without overlaping, like the example below.
My main concerns are the spacing between the circles, the positioning should be as paralel to the the outside shapes as possible, and the size of the circles ( or any other necessary shape).
I'm doing this by hand sometimes with 900 circles. is there a fast way to this? do you know any macro/plugin to make the task easier?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working with drawings that have (for example) 1,000 little circles with diameter 1.5mm. I'd like to resize all of them to, say, 2.0mm but I don't want to scale them as this will affect their distance from each other.
Macros: I have tried recording the adjustments on one object but I'm unable to run the macro on another - the macro errors out.
Find/Replace objects: I don't see any options involving object dimensions (although I can "Find All" of my objects by shape or fill).
Corel Draw X4 v14.0.0.701
I am not a power user but have used CorelDraw since ver 8. My question is why I cannot fill shapes like the one provided whether I create them in Draw, or import them as dwg or dxf into Draw. It's interesting that I can fill this shape in DesignCad (the source of the dwg-dxf files) but not in Corel. Of course, the project I'm working on needs the other touches that Draw provides and DesignCad doesn't.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am writing a C# (.Net) app to auto create a CorelDraw document, by copying and pasting shapes from a document containing master copies of shapes, into a new document.
I have a simple VBA script that does this. And now I am trying to convert it to C# but I cannot get it to find the shapes from the Shapes array of the layer in the master document.
i keep getting error "Argument out of range". The code is: string myShapeName = "round_green";
CorelDRAW.Shape myShape = masterDoc.Pages[0].Layers["Images"].Shapes[myShape];
The pages and layers arrays work (return the correct object). I seem to recall someone saying there was an issue with the COM objects returned by the Shapes array. But in this case the error indicates the issue is with the indexer passed in - I have tried an integer (0) and a variable containing a string and neither work.
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.
I would like to know how to create the shadow effect as pointed with the red arrow, if this design is to be printed to 2 spot color (Orange 021 C and Black)

When I add a drop shadow to anything the variable attributes do not appear on the property bar, ie "flat bottom right" at top left and then the choice of colours etc. I know by now where they are so click on where I think they are, but it's annoying. I have deleted, run a reg cleaner and re-installed + added the SP2 updates.

I've noticed an odd issue when we upgraded from X4 to X5. On an identical document when we select a text block, in X5 the block "jumps" up and to the left by about 10 pixels. Below is a video of this peculiar behavior. X5 shown on the left, X4 shown on the right. Both documents are identical.

I'm getting error "Either is not importable using the selected filter, or this format is not supported" while trying to open a Corel Draw file I received from someone in X3.I read through the posts and can understand only that this could be a Corel Version problem. Based in this I've two questions.
Q1) How to get around this error and successfully open that .cdr file in X3?
Q2) How to determine which version of CorelDraw was used to create this file?
