CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Import DXF Wrong Orientation?
Sep 25, 2013
I import dxf file created in CadKey or SolidWorks. I have done this thousands of times but all of a sudden they do not import in the correct orientation x/y plane. They appear to be importing on the edge. I have gone back to old dxf files that have worked perfectly in the past and they no longer import correctly.
Have I, unknowingly, changed some setting on Corel that effects the import of dxf files?
When I'm printing on CorelDRAW X6, it show me the wrong size and orientation , everything was perfect on CorelDRAW X5 and I'm fully updated. What can I do?
I don't know if this is just a Windows 8 compatibility issue, but when I save an edited photo it is stored in whatever orientation I opened it. Also the thumbnails only show the original imported image, not the edited image.
For instance if I took a picture in a sideways orientation on my smart phone then opened it in PPX5 I can rotate, edit and save and it will show the original image in a sideways orientation. If I post the image on Facebook it will show up sideways. If I put it on a forum it may look okay but people with iPads and iPhones see it sideways.
I have been using CorelDRAW 12 and 13 for about 7 years. I have a new problem. It's only become apparent recently, and I think it could be related to my recent change to Win7 from XP.
When I publish a file to pdf the colours do not translate properly. I use a lot of pantone colours, as I do fashion illustrations and textile designs, and for that reason it is important that my clients receive accurate colours.
Lately the colours have been coming up wrong. For example a green/blue aqua colour came up as a very darkish sky blue colour. Brown looked navy. All colours are either off or completely wrong. If I print from the cdr file, however, the colours are fine.
I have recently installed X4 after using X3 for a number of years, and it was working fine until suddenly the color pallet has changed to harsh very bright almost unreal RGB-like colours. It is distorting all my work as I cannot see real colours, especially in Photopaint, so impossible to color edit.
i create a spot color (lab color management) when i create the pdf the spot color haven't the name setting in CorelDraw. If i export eps it's works greats! i don't convert spot in cmyk i want spot color in lab! i use onyx production house and it want spot color lab to renoze cutcontour or spot color as white ink.
I just bought a HP Designjet Z3100. And I can’t get the colors right. Everything looks great on the screen but then I print I get this ugly strong light green color. I have really tried different settings without success I have also tried X4 and X5 with the same result.
Everything is ok if I export the file to PDF and then print, but then I print from the cdr file its get very ugly.
I have the same problem with other printers but then I change the printer’s own settings to Saturation in the color settings.
I have uploaded some files to: [URL] ...
CDR file = This is one example of the files I can’t print.
PDF output = The same file as the CDR that looks good then I print it.
ugly green = This is how the print looks like (I get these colors then I use my Nitro PDF printer)
I'm using CorelDraw X5 to generate the eps file for my thesis, written in LaTex. When I draw a vertical arrow, an then export the draw in eps format, the arrowhead is pointing the wrong direction (left - right and not up-down), and this is always the case. If I open again the .cdr file, everything is correct.
I had the opportunity to try also CorelDraw X3, and the same behavior appears.
Have you ever experienced it? It is actually quite annoying because I have to fix all the eps images containing vertical arrows with ink scape, but it is time consuming.
I cannot make my Custom 12.25 X 18 paper print correctly. Corel and the HP Printing preferences are in sync (it seems) but the print always print in the same spot, regardless of orientation...
If you take blend tool to gate one color to other or same or gray scale it give correct result. But if you use New color style and new gradient it show wrong effect in CMYK.
I have a 900 x 500 px image in Adobe Illustrator, which overlaps a bit the canvas on the left side.
When I open this file with Corel, it adjusts my graphics so that it's centered on the screen. The AI file is centered on another point. Also, the canvas Corel creates is A4 sized. I always have to resize the canvas and then manually adjust the position of my graphics.
Question: How can I save an AI file so that when I open it at Corel, the position and size of the canvas will be exactly the same?
I have just upgraded to Draw X6 and am having a problem importing multichannel photoshop .dcs or Illustrator .eps (with placed bitmap) files. When importing, the graphic appears upside down. Other oddities in this situation:
-This only happens to rastered images, not vector.
-If I try to flip it right-side-up the image goes blank as if it didn't get a screen refresh. But remains blank even with a manual refresh or zooming in/out, etc. -In wireframe view it looks correct. -It prints correctly also
I recently started working with X5 and am having a few issues with the importing of palettes.I have created a couple of very large swatch palettes (about 1044 colors) in Photoshop CS4 and Illustrator CS4 that I would like to not have recreate in X5 (each swatch is custom named).
The photoshop swatch palette is saved as an .ACO file. I am able to open the .ACO palette in X5, however, the CMYK values do not match, and the custom name does not transfer.
-As an example, my custom black swatch in the .ACO file is called A1 and its CMYK value is 60, 49, 47, 100. However, when opened in X5 it is only identified by its CMYK value, which has changed to 29, 22, 29, 30 (which is more of a semi-dark grey than a black). In fact, all of the colors look as if they have been desaturated by 50-75% (that's a huge guesstimate on my part).
After struggling with my .ACO palette I thought I would try to import my .AI file.
X5 gives the option to open a palette that was created in Illustrator if the palette itself is saved as an .AI (which can be done directly from the swatch menu in AI. I have tried opening my .AI palette in X5- it allows me to chose the file, however, nothing happens.
I've imported a pdf template (2x2 labels) into corel draw. I've finished designing the first label and want to fill in the rest of the sheet. will not allow me to cut and paste.
When I open or import a DWG into CorelDraw X6 it changes the colors (see image).
I tried changing the Color Management Settings to Minimal Color Management which is suppose to preserve the original color when opening, importing, and pasting, but that doesn't work.
we are developing a Website where users can design individual labels and other print materials. Server-sided "PDFlib" creates the PDF files. We would like to import these PDF's into Corel X6.
File: [URL]........
Created with: PDFlib Personalization Server 8.0.4p2 (PHP5/Linux-X86_64)
PDF-Version: 1.6 Compression: FlateDecode/
Fonts: no fonts embedded In the pdf are vector objects, graphics and text
I can open the PDF easily with Adobe Illustrator, Reader, Adobe Acrobat X Pro and other software.
But if I try to import the PDF into Corel: "Corrupt file"
I'm trying to import into Coreldraw X3 files which were emailed to me by an Adobe CS4 user:
[URL]
(they are attached via a wetransfer link because as I found out the file size limit here is 256k and I cannot compress the files down to that size.) After reading several of the threads here, I'm not any smarter. I've tried various settings to import the .pdf, and regardless of which option I choose, I get a file corrupted error - it looks like the pdf version output to from Illustrator is flat out not supported by coreldraw. it opens fine in foxit reader, which tells me it's pdf 1.5 version.the .eps imports as a group of 542 objects but I cannot see any of these objects in the Object Manager docker.
I have PDF map created with latest PDF Creator. Originally it was made with GIS software Geo Media Professional (v6). Document looks good while previewing with Reader. When importing to Photoshop CS5 - looks good to (but raster). But when I'm trying to import it to CorelDrawX5 strange things happens:
Import takes a lot of time After hitting [Enter] file (group name.pdf) origin is about 5000mm;6400mm (width 45720mm, height 45720mm) - so it is definitely far from any page and much much bigger than original - in this case original was 2500mm width and 1067mm height landscape prepared to print on HP DesignJet 800PS 42'' roll hitting F4 - max range warning appears. I was trying to move group somewhere in visible work area using X,Y - strange results - negative position appears after hitting Enter
In CorelDRAW X4 I didn't get such "feature". There is no additional font embedded in document (ARIAL, HELVETICA).
bought a stockphoto EPS and it looks corrupt when i open it. i see there is a code page select option which seems to affect the graphic, but still much corruption when imported.
I am wondering if there is a way to import e.g. a table from a website without loosing the styles (CSS stylesheets). I want the table to be printable - so the resolution of a screenshot is too low.
