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.
My object manager all of a sudden decided to not show the objects on the layers. If I click the "eye" on the layer it will show or hide, but the names of the objects on the layers are not listed under the layer name.
If I right click on the layer, it has the check beside visible, printable, and editable. I have Corel Draw Graphics Suite X4.
I have an object that I need to print . It is a cartoon man and a cartoon flag with text next to it . I have printed the whole thing without a cut and it worked fine .
But now I need to print it with the images cut out. I believe I will be able to put a contour around the font easily however the problem is putting it around the flag with man in front of it . right now it makes contours on the inside of the image. Its hard to explain ..... the flag is supposed to be white with blue and red in it . and when I printed it on a big sheet with no contour it was fine .. but now that I need to do it on its own the contour goes inside the flag because there is no rectangle shape around the flag .(no outline around flag) How do I put the rectangle around the flag as well as put a smooth contour around handyman?

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...
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.
I'm out of practice with Corel since it has been several years since using it. I'm trying to create a point on top of a line without adding a point to an existing line but for the life of me I can't figure out how. I know I can create a new line and drag the points to where I want them on the line but I just simply want to create a point on top of the line.
I try to move a guideline with the field Y for example.1-) Put a guideline in the page2-) I need to put my guideline exactly to: Y: 5.181''.So, I put in the Y field 5.181''. The bug result is that the field makes an addition.If the position of the guideline is Y: 4.0'', and I want to move it to Y: 5.181'':the guideline go directly to Y: 9.181''.Another question:What is the use of the Object Origin button's options for the guidelines?
I often toggle between Portrait and Landscape when I begin working out a layout. Is there an easy way to make the Printable Area dotted lines automatically follow suit? My printer's default is already set to "Match Orientation".
Up till now I have been going to File>Print Setup>Preferences>Layout>Portrait or Landscape for each and every toggle!
issue with selecting and then moving an object in Photo Paint? I can hover and get the object name, and then select but when I go to move the object PPT selects and moves an entirely different object. I have held down Ctrl, Alt etc. to no avail. Bigger objects are easier since there is more to grab on to but smaller objects are a pain.
I was working on a document and suddenly was unable to move selected objects! This was true on all 3 pages. I had not changed any settings. I could select objects but not move them.....In the Object Manager, all layers are visible and editable. Even Edit through layers is checked. And the working layer was red.
When I save a Corel X5 file the thumbnail doesn't show an image like it did when I saved a corel file in X3. It shows the green pencil symbol .....is this normal?
why all-the-sudden this macro does not show up in the list of macros? I'm not sure if it is conflicting with something else and it's been happening off and on.
I've just installed Corel X3. When I open a corel 12 document from my second computer, my new Corel x3 doesn't show most of the objects. Instead - it only shows "ghost" objects. I have made a print screen and it looks like that.
I need to find a way to cut the shape of one object out of another object. In the above photo I need to be able to print the black crosses without the printer printing the white ink under them (you can see where the black ink is not adhering to the white ink very well).
A colleague of mine has problems when moving a textbox.She grab the textbox with the mouse, the complete work area change to a white background, so she doesn't see, where she has to drop the mouse cursor. After she drop the mouse cursor, the background change to the graphic again.
The hardware she uses is new and included the following components:HP Z200 i7-870 Workstation2,93 GHz, 6 GB 1333MHz DDR3, ATI FirePro V3800 with 512MB RAM, Windows7 Prof 64bit
All the products installed on my Win 7 Pro 64 Start Menu show the jumplist properly, including Corel X5. This is not working for X6. Yes, I know I can use the Open Recent. menu once I am in CorelDraw.
I've been using Corel Draw and Photo-Paint for many years, on many versions of Windows, and as far as I remember, Windows Explorer has always shown a thumbnail for a .cpt file instead of the plain icon.
I've now got a Windows 7 machine (professional version 64 bit), and .cpt files show up as plain white icons, instead of thumbnails.
Is there a way to have the status bar show up whenever a file is printing or saving. So far the only way it shows up is if you click on the little icon at the bottom right of the window.
When I select "Save As" or "Export", the list of available file formats is only a fraction of what the help file shows as supported file formats. The help file instructs me to use the instructions in "To modify or repair a CorelDRAW Graphics Suite installation" but this does not work. How can I get or verify that all the file format filters listed in Supported file formats are installed in my CorelDraw 15?
Right now I am particularly interested in saving a CDR in the Visio (VSD) file format, but I would like to have of them available.
In Connect I see only blank thumbnails of my .cdr files. The nice thing of this program should be thati can scroll through my files and look at large thumbnail So I know what iám working on.
I'm using Windows 7. The previews were working now they just don't work, "preview not available". I see no check box in window 7 to turn that on or off, unlike in windows xp. I have tried turning on large thumbnails in windows explorer when opening files, older files will show up but most recent files just show the Corel Draw icon large.
Could this be some kind of auto update from Windows? Since I have no destination, I'm never lost.
