CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Randomize Order Of Objects In Layout?

Aug 22, 2013

I use CDX5 to run our laser engraver.  A customer brought us in some plastic sheet he'd like us to laser into small little "lenses" that go over LEDs.  These little lenses are roughly .5" square with one radiused corner.  The material isn't cheap, so of course the customer wants to minimize waste -  I can't spread them out.

I just ctrl-D duplicate them into a tightly packed array and send to the laser... Unfortunately, the material isn't very laser-friendly.  It sucks up a lot of heat and starts to bulge, which takes the laser out of focus.  I can get decent results by doing a few at a time, but that causes too much waste.  If I try to do to many in one area, the bulging leads to ruined parts.

Is there a convenient way in CD to randomize the order of objects?  If the laser would cut one over here, then another over there, etc, I think the heat buildup would no longer be a factor, and I wouldn't have to babysit the machine.  I thought about doing it manually in Object Manager but, ugh, there are like 384 pieces in the layout.

I'm printing booklets for our inhouse marketing and to do so (because of the printer I'm using), I have to send the document in reverse order (last page to first page).

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Master Layers Order

Apr 21, 2012

I'm working on a book that has watermark on all pages and jpegs too of a4 size. Working in earlier version [x5], I used to overlap all the watermarks which was located in master layer. When I used to import a fresh jpeg on new pages, the watermark went below the jpegs. What i used to do was create a new master layer and then cut pasted the watermark in that layer, and the watermark came above the jpegs in the pages that were added later. In CorelDRAW x6 this i'm not able to do. 

The watermark remains bottom of the jpeg, no matter what i do. if i edit the same file in version X5, it works fine and then i get it into x6 and do rest of stuff it works fine. The watermark problem still exists.

Windows 7 [64-bit], Core i3 - 3.02 GHz, 4GB DDR 3 RAM

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Vector Objects Behind Transparent Objects Turns Into Bitmaps When Exported

Aug 18, 2011

I often produce graphics in CorelDRAW, export it as en eps file and insert it inside a MS Word document as an image and finally convert it to pdf. This way my vector graphics (often linedrawings with or without fill) usually is preserved in the final pdf document. I can zoom in and the lines keep on displaying perfectly sharp. This is important, since it easily looks bad when thin lines are turned into bitmaps, even when watched from a distance.

Now, in some graphics I created today, I had a circle with fountain fill and outline (symbolizing a sphere) put behind a filled rectangle, which had a uniform transparency applied to it. In the resulting pdf file, the 'sphere' was turned into bitmap. Inside CorelDRAW everything was vector graphics, but something was loast in the process. what happens with the graphics in the different steps in the process and eventually could explain a workaround to make everything look as vector in the final pdf file.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: BG Pattern Over Whole Page And Layout Imposition?

May 30, 2012

I am going to be printing some raffle tickets.  I need them to be numbered sequentially.  I have found out how to do the numbering using the printmerge function.

I am going to be doing 8 up.  Seems like the easiest way is to design one ticket, then use the print merge feature, and then use the layout imposition tool.  However, I would like to have a light colored watermark behind all the tickets.

To make this simple to understand (hopefully) lets just say I want the word "TICKET" repeated over and over again horizontally and vertically untill it covers the whole page.

Of course if I was going to hand number these I would simply design an 8 up print and then put the TICKET watermark behind it no problem. 

I could simply crop the watermark and place it in the single 1 up design, and then use print merge and layout imposition, but then the pattern would be exactly the same on all tickets and I would have to cut them in exactly the right place.  Whereas if I did 8 up, I wouldn't have this problem.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 :: Layering Objects

Nov 8, 2012

I am fairly new to CorelDRAW and I am having an issue with layering objects that I can't figure out. The problem I am having is this:

I have two line drawings, and one sits on top of the other. Normally, the object in the back is partially hidden by the one in the front. However, I have just done a drawing where the object in the back is NOT partially hidden by the one in the front, and it looks like they are both on the same layer. What happened? I am not sure if I inadvertantly changed a setting, but I can't seem to figure out how to hide that back layer. I have tried using the 'order' function, and that usually works, but for some reason it is not working this time.

Using CorelDraw X6.1

Having issues with exporting files to an .eps format - using "selected only" some of the objects that I have selected do not get exported - ie. they are missing from the .eps file altogether.

On top of that, most of my colours get washed out to a grey scale - I do work in spot colours.

I have tried f8, and tried reinstalling.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: How To Re-space Multiple Objects

Jul 26, 2011

I have a series of images that have been designed - very basic shapes (a straight vertical line with a ball on top in which ascending numbers are placed in each one. So effectively each image is made up of 3 seperate parts and look like numbered lollipops. Each of these images are currently evenly spaced apart and formatted so the text is all properly aligned and sized etc - I would like to be able to copy certain groups of these images and paste them into a new working document which is fine, but I then need to somehow re-space them out to scale once they've been pasted in. So for example i have copied them in and they are 20mm apart to each other (as per my original drawing that i copied from) - is there a way of then altering this spacing so that for example so that they are all 33mm apart but still retail the original formatting properties so they are not stretched etc?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: How To Convert Outlines To Objects

When I export a page as Illustrator CS4, I choose the option "Convert outlines to objects" but it doesn't seem to do what I expect. It does fix the issue of missing arrowheads on lines, but it doesn't convert the outlines to fills as I expected -- is that correct? I wish there was an option to convert lines to fills on export.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Ungrouping Overlapping Objects

Sep 13, 2012

I am a screen printer making a leap into the world of CorelDraw.  Loving it so far, especially the trace options.  That being said, I have a piece of artwork that a client wanted me to scan in and trace to see how it would turn out.  The image can be found here:

[URL]....

Problem I am having is the stick figure in front of the cross.  The figure is being grouped with the cross...not allowing me to properly color the image and separate how I need it.  The text needs to be red, the cross black, the hearts red, and the stick people white...will be going on a blue t-shirt. Am I looking at having to create my own lines...or am I overlooking/not thinking of an easy way to do this?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Freeform Selection Of Objects

The pick too only creates a rectangular selection marque.

Is there any way to select objects with a freeform marque, or even to draw a shape and use that as the marque to select the objects within it.

I'm wondering if a macro / plugin is needed to do this.
