CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Some File Formats In Save As Or Export Do Not Show
Feb 27, 2013
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.
I am trying to save a CorelDraw X5 file in Adobe Illustrator, so I can bring it into Illustrator CS4 to work on it in Illustrator.
It will only save in CDR format. Whatever different file format I try I get a message "No object to Print, Export, or Save" I originally grouped it and saved it in CDR.
Some how I'm stuck on this issue; I need to save/export (pdf/jpg) a few pages which includes content outside page border. It seems to be impossible to save page content - inside the page border - only.....?
I can't remember having problem with this before....?
I have SP3 installed along with the hotfix. I have less than 500 fonts installed as well as ran a repair and F8 my desktop. I still get random closes when I save, print, or export a pdf. Are there any specific fixes out there?
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.
Running CorelX5 on windows 7 - On my work computer when I have a file open and hit the save button I'm getting the message "can not save, file is open or being used by other program". I have to save as a different name. I assume another program is to blame and is associated with .cdr.
After finally getting X6 to be stable and usable I have two things I'd like to mention..
First, I've been using a 3rd party file manager called Ztree for years and one of its most wonderful capabilities is to copy paths to the clipboard which alleviates opening/saving frustrations with the typical Windoze Explorer dialogs. Anyway, one of the first problems I noticed with X6 is that Paste no longer works in the Open Drawing dialog, while it worked just fine in X5 and as far as I can remember, all previous versions. I sure would like to get that back.
My second complaint is the File/Export routine and specifically the presets. I do a lot of exporting to PNG and JPG and use multiple presets for fixed size/print resolution image output in both file formats. During the typical export session, I essentially export multiple different drawings all of which are exactly the same size/resolution in CD and in the past (X4 and prior as I recall,) was able to just hit <Enter> when the Export dialog appeared once the preset was set to the one I needed for that session.
In X6 though (and to some degree in X5,) even though the correct preset is listed, CD doesn't appear to recognize it, i.e., the math for the size/dpi conversion doesn't take place which forces me to waste time selecting "Original" or some other preset first, waiting for CD to render the new version, and THEN selecting the conversion preset that was pre-selected when I first opened the export dialog.
I have upgraded to X5 from X3 , and now when i Export EPS files, they are MASSIVE, I work in a company that does signs, and car vinyls and other graphics /vector related work, and It is important that i use EPS as file format for out " plotter" but a size of 800 mb and 2,2 GB now when it used to be 10 mb is insane.
I also use POSTSCRIPT 2, as 3, makes the file over 2 GBs.
I try to export an illustration to eps with bounding box. When I import this e.g. with ghostscript, I get an error output like this:
GPL Ghostscript 9.05 (2012-02-08)Copyright (C) 2010 Artifex Software, Inc.

[code]....
The problem seems to be at line "1,00 setflat".
I am using CSG X4 (SP2+hotfix) on a Win7 (32Bit) machine. I tried the following to figure out the problem:- varying export settings- using different programs to import (Ghostscript, Acrobat, CorelDraw)- trying complete re-install of CGS X4- changing the computer using the same version of CGS It seems that the eps export interferes with some system settings or installed printer drivers, but I am not able to isolate the problem. I would expect that the export filter is self-contained.
I tried to reproduce the problem with minimal content. The difference between the produced eps files may isolate the problem. A simple cdr-file, the produced eps-files and a snapshot of the used settings are in the zip-file located at URL....I assume that the eps files are built up from different resources but I cannot locate the involved files.
I prepared my drawing for size A0 (841 mm / 1189 mm) but when exporting it in Jpg or Tiff format for printing, it happens something very strange. In the dialogue window it doesn't allow a bigger size than A1 (594 mm / 841 mm). It shows me 74 % for width and height parameters. I try to change it to 100 % but it turns back to 74. Now I cannot print it because I need the bigger size.
Corel X4. While the images on my screen appear as I want them, and will print true to their colors on my printer, when I convert the files to pdf, jpg or eps formats to send out, the colors lose their vibrancy and appear (and reproduce) washed out. It seems as though it's something in the conversion process.
I am using CorelDraw X5 and my system is Windows 7 and is a 64 bit.
Most of the time when I am drawing and go to save my file, CorelDraw X5 will freeze up (not responding) and then crash. Most of the time, I can go and restart Corel, open my file and it will have saved where I wanted it to; but sometimes it will cause me to have to use the auto-backup or just the back up file.
a tip for solving the problem of exporting an image as a tif led to another question. One solution to export as tif was to create a macro. See that solution post here: [URL] .......
It says : Step 1Run the built in macro. (Tools > Macros > Run Macro). In CorelDRAW versions prior to X4 (Tools > Visual Basic > Play). Select ‘File Converter’ macro from the ‘Macros in’ list and click ‘Run’
However in my macros drop down there are no macros. how can I get a file converter macro?
I chose to add the ico file format to my options for export in Photo-Paint, but when I go to export, it is not in the drop-down menu. What I need to do?
I wish to use the Corel X5 program for all of my engraving and sign business. I've been using a program, sign lab, where I export graphics in the plotter format to my Xenetech system. I will continue to export into my Xenetech. I found that the X5, export PLT only allows an outline but no real fill capability. I need a better program and here I am. Is there a better file format within Corel X5 to fill a graphic or font to accomplish this task?
(CORELDRAW X6.3) Today I tried to export a .jpg file (text file) for a banner that was 6ft x 18ft. The export function wouldn't allow the 18ft, but changed it to like 9ft.
Tried in same in X3 and had the same result.
I could export the file as a .pdf and it worked just fine.
Using X5 suite. Just installed Windows 7 on my stand alone system. Now when I make a change to a file and attempt to resave (Save) it, the message box says the file is "Read Only" and asks me to save under another name.
A .cmx file produced by CorelDRAW x5 can be opened / imported / edited in any previous version of CorelDRAW? Why size changes? When I export to .cmx size doubles. If I use the option "Save as ... cmx" the file size decreases. What´s the difference? URL.....
I've recently got a new computer, and after installing corel on it, I've found that I am unable to open files with corel, as soon as i press the open button corel crashes, but i am able to open the files when i goto the actual file in my documents and click open in there, and i am unable to save files any way whatsoever (due to crashing isues again) i am also unable to export my artwork to a jpeg, also an immediate crash.
Will Corel6 (or later) ever be able to export to a web page directly since the HTLM export doesn't work (drops links). The Corel Web program, or what ever its name is, was a joke. Its amazing that Corel work puts its name on a program that you could not open a CorelDraw file.
My current work around is to export to a JPG and then import that into dreamweaver and add the links there, then post. A pain but it works.
why (sometimes) when I export text or graphics as .eps files to my cutter it cuts the same outline up to four to five times and ends up cutting right through the backing paper. I have been using postcut with various corel editions since 1997 with no problems until recently. It also cuts random lines through lines of text which is such an expensive pain in the ass.
I started to use the production manager in flexi sign to cut my designs and same thing happens, except for the random lines but it will make up to five cuts on some objects. All text and graphics are exported the same. Has something in corel newer versions changed in relation to this?
i´m using CRD since X3 so I think i´m quite experienced with all the crashes and uncompatibilities but now I have a problem which I can´t solve.
I made a graphic project which is quite large (2,6m x 2,0m @ 300dpi) and including raster grahics. The CDR file itself has about 400MB. When I tried to export this graphic to the png or jpg at the current size Corel X5 always crashes. I tried almost everything on many computers but always the same problem.
It looks like the project is too large for export. At this moment I desperately need to export the file to jpg or png at full resolution. Maybe X6 is more stable when exports or I have to simplify the project somehow but...
FILE IS UPLOADED here and I need to have it 2,6m x 2,0m: [URL]
Client supplies me with word document, I make a PDF from it and then from Acrobat create an ESP file, this is done as an eps file is much less likely to cause probs then importing a PDF, I then print from the Coreldraw file with the EPS pages no problem. The problem then arises when I have to then create a PDF file from COreldraw for the client - any EPS files in the document do not appear in the PDF - so there lies the problem.I cannot alway directly import a PDF file (often screws up) even if I save fonts as outlines. Saving as EPS overcomes most/all issues.
