I have always the problem when I have to make some tickets with serial number on it.
I use some software for that job, but I don't like it. I prefer to work in CDR. I know that there are some scripts for numbering directly in Corel, but I'm not familiar with it.
I want to add serial number in the documents I am making to protect it from piracy... Or no, rather easier way to spot the pirate if I find my pattern floating somewhere..
To make it condensed I would like to use hexadecimal digits. So I can add a small serie of digits on a pattern piece (the pieces are tiny, averaging at about 4-5 cm, filled with information) so this is my reason of why I want hexadecimals.
I will stuff it with six digit groups for different identifiers and then revision numbers too.
On every document copy, that is, pattern sheet I would like to repeat the same digit about 4-6 times, on the major pattern pieces, and on one license paper. So the digits needs to be identical on these 4-6 times.
But of course incrementing for each copy of the pattern sheet.
Let's say the serie is 1.01.0001-00.00.00 this is the format I am going to use. All the digits could be entered manually if it has to be done but at least the 4 digits group should be automated, and hexadecimal.
what's the biggest filesize in terms of pages that you people have handled? I have handled a file with 84 pages, it was 122 mb in filesize. I split it into two parts for smooth working.

If I would like to compose a booklet in Corel Draw, how can I insert page numbers ?
I know the use of Master Layer. But contents on it will remain unchanged for all the pages. However the page numbers should auto increase page by page.
Adobe InDesign or pagemaker is useless infront of Corel Draw. But the problem of Footer (page numbering) has to be resolevd. So that Corel Draw will replace InDesign or related book work softwares.
how to add page numbers.

Font Navigator was just finally working properly after giving me hell for the last few months, but now the Hotfix has broken it again. For as long as I can remember it has had a limit of about 64000 fonts in the library. All fonts are listed but once you got to the 64001st font in the list, it showed the preview for the first font in the list. Annoying, but i had about 66000 fonts in total available so it only affected a few fonts beginning with Y and Z.
Since the hotfix, it appears this 'limit' has been halved to around 32000 fonts. Which means I can't install any fonts beginning J - Z using Font Navigator any more, making it near useless. I've attached screenshots to show this.
I am using CorelDRAW X4.
I would like to make the number (1) to be aligned in the center of the box, so I select all and then (Click+C & E) as in the attached file.
I noted that I got the vertical in the center, but I got the left of horizontal a little bigger. I knew that I could get it centered both horizontally and vertically by converting texts to curves. I, however, don't want to convert it to curves because I need to edit the texts.
I've got CorelDRAW HOME & STUDENT SUITE X5. According to EULA I'm allowed to install it on 3 Computers athome. Actually X5 is installed only once on my Notebook under WinXP.
Now I'm going to upgrade the Notebook to Win7 or Win8 and re-install the CorelDRAW HOME & STUDENT SUITE X5 then. Will this re-installation be registered as a 2nd installation? If yes, how can I de-register the old XP-Installation? I plan to provide the other two installation options to my 2 children and don't want to loose one, therefore.

How would I put an outline around a number with a space between the number and outline?
When making numbers for the side of a race car for example, you want both the numbers to angle (lean) towards the back of the car. So on the left side of the car, the number is leaning to the right, and on the right side of the car the number is leaning left. How do you change the text to get the number to lean the way you want it too?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to create artwork for university style hoodies, where text is created to form the shape of a number.
I have successfully converted a number into a text box for this purpose. The text is inside and looks great.
However, I need to convert this number / text box to curves in order to keep its appearance when e-mailing. When I convert it to curves, the text shifts its position to outside of the text box. The strangest part is that it only happens with numbers that have a gap in the middle (4, 6, 8, 9 and 0).
Can any body explain why this is happening?

I would like to be able to design my own artistic brushes. I understood tha I can drop an object or group in the artistic media docker and it becomes a custom brush or spray.

I have a logo which appears in the footers of all of our technical manuals. Word recognizes it as a picture, and so our printer prints it in color, not black and white, so we are charged for the color copies.
I have exhausted my options in Word, and have been trying to create it as a TrueType font in DRAW, so word just thinks it's a symbol, not a picture.
The only file I have of the logo is a .bmp, so I've been tracing it to get it into vector form to manipulate. However, after all of my welding, combining, front minus back ect. ect. ect., I still can't get it down to the "1 object" requirement to make it a font.
Here's the logo:

I need to make lines of different thicknesses, with arrowheads. However, when I increase the line width the arrowhead should not be proportional. It need to stay a bit smaller.
Example: if the line is expanded to "Thick 3", I need the arrow keeps equivalent to "Thick 2" - for aesthetic reasons.I can do edit as I show in the bottom of the sample picture.
However, I need to build HUNDREDS of arrows of different sizes.Is there any way (Macro function?) permitting I enlarge/reduce line thickness and allowing me to edit the arrow without changing the line thickness?
Important Note: Is not enough I edit some arrows and save them as a kind of Template, then import them to work. The arrows have different ways in thickness and may be straight, curved, winding, etc.. Hence the need to edit the edges easily.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble making fonts using X4. I've found the export "ttf" filter, and the dialog opens for my first letter, which allows me to assign the ASCII position, and that works out fine. A TTF file is created, with that letter shown. However, when I try to export the next object for the next letter, instead of simply opening the assigning dialog for the next object, so as to add to the file, it goes to the dialog asking me to name the file, and when I do, Corel crashes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Corel 15. I want to take a picture and make it gradually go transparent from the middle of the picture to the top (using Photo Paint I guess), you know the thing with the checkerboard squares. Then I will put it in Draw and overlay some text across the top area where it has gradually gone transparent.
I do not want a sharp line between regular and transparent as if I cut a hole in the background and deleted the hole part. I want a gradual fade sort of transparency for the entire image. I have searched the internet for how to do this even using using Photoshop and there are not instructions available.
