CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Selecting Multiple Objects In A Group

Aug 24, 2011

I find it extremely annoying to have to Ungroup named groups and then regroup and rename them in order to do a multiple selection of group members. I find I'm constantly ungrouping and regrouping in order to select/edit.

Note that the multiple items are often not the same type of object (e.g., text, line, shape, etc.).

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 X4 :: Can't Select Multiple Text Objects

Dec 10, 2010

I can't seem to select more than one text object at a time.....

I will select a paragraph or artistic text object, press and hold shift, and then continue selecting text objects.  Nothing happens.... well, it seems to be 'thinking' but nothing ever happens until I release the shift key and then only the last object selected gets highlited.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Interactive Rotate With Multiple Paragraph Text Objects?

Nov 18, 2013

With a number of of paragraph text objects selected, the interactive rotate becomes increasingly sluggish in keeping up with my mouse position when dragging round.  I've got a calendar artwork with 12 paragraph objects, and after I've let go of the mouse button, the screen will continue trying to update for anything up to 10 seconds afterwards, during which time I can't do anything.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Make Multiple Centers / Center Is Off In Some Objects Or On Page?

Jan 7, 2013

I was just fooling around with it one day and I made 2 guidlines intersect (one at 0 degrees and one at 90). I added a third one at 45 and tried to center it at the intersection of the first 2. It made a tiny tiny microscopic right triangle for some reason.

Also, sometimes the center is off on either the object or on the page. Like when I rotate copies of an object around another object (like making a clock face) the copies don't go perfectly all the way around. I redo it and it works fine.  

Is precision an issue in CoreDRAW?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Pattern Fill On A Group

Jun 1, 2011

if I have a group of areas that I want filled... I can select uniform, fountain, and postscript... but why doesn't pattern work for a group?  This would be useful and seems like a bug.  Why would I have to apply the fill to each part of the group?  Groups are supposed to be useful for manipulating multiple objects in this way.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Selecting Object That Has No Fill?

Oct 11, 2012

I just upgraded to X5 the other day and started working with it. All seemed pretty normal until I drew a rectangle with a hairline and no fill. I typed in some text and went to click off of it to start a separate line of text only to find out when clicking inside this shape, and any other shape I made, it would select the shape.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Selecting Artistic Media

Jun 5, 2011

Draw just crashed as I was selecting different artistic media for the background of an image.I had opened the file by double clicking it... it was just the start of a simple rollover which just contained text and a squiggle with an arrow property at one end of the squiggle.

The foreground and squiggle are in the foreground on a layer.  it has a linear gradient fill. going sideways.  The text is a custom true type font called "Comic Book Commando" which I haven't had any trouble with.

In a separate layer, I had a simple short horizontal line that I was trying out different artistic media with.  It's just a swipe that's pretty much horizontal.  I laid it down with the "Artistic Media" brush that I selected from the toolbar which I have parked at the left vertically.I had the horizontal line selected with the regular picker tool.  I have the artistic docker open on the right side beside the line of colours palette at the far right of the window.

I clicked on each artistic media types all the way down the list... and along the way I made 4 duplicates of the simple line and put them into separate layers that I then turned off the visibility and turned off the printing.

At the point Draw crashed, I had the simple line selected, and I clicked on the last of the paintbrush style artistic media from the docker (the ones with the paintbrush icon beside them)... crash.

The drawing is very simple.  Basically, I was just going through the different artistic media options.  I had a pdf open, a file explorer, and one IE browser window... none of these other programs were doing anything 'active' at the time.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Macro To Group Colours For New Page?

Apr 23, 2012

A macro that will group all alike colours on a page and then copy them to a new page?

We used to have this feature on a product called Vinyl Master. It is really good, but I don't want to run 2 systems for my artwork. We mostly do digital output, but have the requirement to cut vinyl too, mainly for mining vehicles.

It would save a heap of work if we could group all alike colours, then copy to another page, ready for output. Even better if they were nested.

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 X5 :: Assign Colors With One Click Without Creating A Group?

Nov 8, 2013

I'm working on a drawing of an airplane, it has lots and lots of objects. I need to change the color of a bunch of these objects without affecting their stack order.

In a simple example, the left wing and the right wing need to be blue, but the fuselage in between them needs to stay white. If I group the wings, it moves them both on top of the body.

Is there any way to re-color all my airplane parts with one click without moving them all to the front?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Previews Will Not Show When Selecting CDR Files To Open

Jul 3, 2012

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.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 :: Running Script Multiple Times Produces Multiple Copies?

Sep 1, 2011

I have this script that basically makes a shape expand by adding an outline, conveting the outline to an object, and then welding the whole thing together.

I have the script set to execute with hotkey ctrl+numpad+

The odd thing is, when I run it once, it seems to work fine and only one object is left, but when I hold down ctrl and press numoad+ over and over again, it seems to produce a new copy of the object everytime.

I'm not sure why this is happening, but I need to get it to stop. 

Sub Expand()    EventsEnabled = False        'Dim vars    Dim c1 As New Color    Dim OrigSelection As ShapeRange    Dim OrigColor As Shape    Dim width1 As Double    Dim height1 As Double    Dim minSize As Double    Dim Thickness As Double        'copy color of current selection    Set OrigColor = ActiveShape    If OrigColor Is Nothing Then Exit Sub    If OrigColor.Fill.Type <> cdrUniformFill Then Exit Sub    c1.CopyAssign OrigColor.Fill.UniformColor        'get thickness to increase by    Set OrigSelection = ActiveSelectionRange    OrigSelection.GetSize width1, height1    If width1 <= height1 Then minSize = width1    If width1 > height1 Then minSize = height1    Thickness = minSize * 0.035        OrigSelection.SetOutlineProperties Color:=CreateRGBColor(0, 0, 0)    OrigSelection.SetOutlineProperties Thickness, ScaleWithShape:=True        'weld    Dim s1 As Shape    Set s1 = OrigSelection(1).Outline.ConvertToObject    Dim s2 As Shape    Set s2 = s1.Weld(OrigSelection(1), True, True)            'auto reduce    's2.Curve.Nodes.All.AutoReduce 0.001    's2.Fill.ApplyUniformFill c1        'delete remnants    OrigSelection.Delete    s1.Delete    'OrigColor.Delete            EventsEnabled = TrueEnd Sub

Illustrator Scripting :: Selecting Objects By Group Names?

Feb 17, 2012

How to select objects by their group names?
 
I'm working with imported graphics, and the objects appear in the AI layer hierarchy grouped and named according to their object types in the native program (see the attached image). The problem lies with the annotation objects: they are made of different parts for which different graphic styles are needed; however, they all come in one layer and are difficult to access for global operations. I need to do different things with the different object types (delete the POINT's, move the LINE's and LWPOLYLINE's to different layers, etc...). The option of selecting objects individually is ok for small data sets, but you can imagine this becomes untenable in a hurry.
 
Two possible solutions I've considered:

(1) change the output parameters in the source program such that the objects come into illustrator with different graphics allowing them to be accessed through the "Select same ..." tools; it would work, but is problematic for the source program

(2) print the annotation graphics with their desired graphic appearance to pdf rather than importing the source file directly in AI, then open in AI to render the remaining graphics; again, this works but introduces inefficiency in the process. Also, the print process tends to explode closed paths requiring more inefficient path tinkering in AI.
 
I would like to tell AI to select all objects named "POINT" or "LINE" etc... but have found nothing in the documentation or forums on whether this is possible.

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.
