CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Moving Object Forward And Behind Images
Dec 17, 2013
Moving Object Forward and Behind Images constant PROBLEMS . we have a built in scale spinner in corel draw giving us the
Ability to pretty much work in infinity working area, why is it that we are constrained only to page area to cycle objects forward and back of other objects, why is it that I can move my logo behind bitmap within the working area but quite often can not do the same outside the working area.
it always disrupts the workflow, sometimes it seems to work when you oversave then for some reason I can move that object behind that bitmap, sometimes there are instances where I am unable to do that unless i completely restart corel draw... is that productive ?? ,
Why is it that this had not been addressed yet, I remember this being an issue I believe since corel 11 or perhaps even farther.
when I click on an object from the object manager... then I want it at the top of my drawing
so I hit Shift+PageUp
(or Ctrl+PageUp)
instead of working... it takes me to "Page 1" at the top of the object manager
HOWEVER, if I click on the thing from the canvas, it works...
this is a silly bug... the whole point of me selecting it from the object manager is so I don't have to hunt for it... because it's UNDER some other stuff.
... that's why I want it shifted to the top of the layer.
As far as I know this problem is reproducible... I'm using a circle and it's under a bunch of stuff like rectangles. I can be more specific if necessary, but it's pretty basic.
in coreldraw usually on small files having 7 to 8 pages i move pages by dragging its tab on the desired location. but how do i handle large files for eg moving page 49 before 15? the tabs list gets pretty long.
I have Corel X-5 on one of my computers that uses XP- Pro and I have new computer that is using windows 7 which also has Corel X-5 on it.
I have certain fonts loaded on the Corel X-5 that is using XP and I want to move them to the new computer. There are about 200 fonts and I was wondering the best way to move them into Corel X5 that is using Windows 7
Can I just copy them to a flash drive and then install on the new computer.
The reason I am using two computers with one monitor is one of my Roland Printers will work with windows 7 but the rip software will not work with Windows 7 because there are no Windows 7 drivers for it.
Instead of spending a few thousand dollars for new rip software it is easier to just use Windows XP and even thought it is a bit of a pain to keep switching back and forth from computers for now it works just fine.
Sometimes when I try to copy and paste a logo, that has text around the outside of it, the text will move from its original location. How do I get this to stop? I have attached a file that is currently doing this.
I often need to move (a group of) objects on a page, but with those objects I also need to move the guidelines that belong to this object. Is there a way I can lock guidelines to an object so that if I move the object, these guidelines move with it?
have to select an object under an artistic media brush object. i try hold down alt key when select the object under the artistic media object but it select the second object
Is there a way to exclude single attributes from being defined in a object style? As example: i want to define an outline that does not change width of the objects, but everything else.
There is a small tick box right of every attribute with help text "None this object attribute is not defined by a custom style" but i can not mark it. My feeling is, that i need to switch on this tick box to get the result i need, but i can not. When i click on it, it just gives me a greyed out "Revert". When i try to make child styles, there is a way to break the connection to parent style with these tick boxes, but no luck.
how to create an image to make it look like its in motion? I am trying to create an image of an arm at 45 degrees that rotates another 45 degrees that shows motion (I know the attached file is not very useful but it is the same style of motion on the butterfly's wings that I am after).
Usually the starting image is a very faint colour and the last should be solid colour but is there a way to blur/blend the colours in between to show where the image originally was and where it is now?
I have been using Corel for over 20 years, and have never needed support. I do most of my work editing nodes within a drawing for creating continuous line patterns that are repeatable.
For years I have simple "nudged" the first and last point of a complex curve to the appropriate position. Now I want to simplify that by entering in the coordinates for the node.
I have tried Object Coordinates, but it appears to do nothing after I change the node location, or radically change my design. There is no documentation for it. I have searched Customize for some sort of input field to add to the toolbar with no luck.
I always have to add the information on the coordinates of the selected note to the Status Bar, so I am surprised that I can't find an option for editing the position.
I am considering a move from Photoshop and Illustrator to Photo-Paint and CorelDraw. My biggest hurdle is that I use the spacebar for panning around a document and CTRL-Spacebar for zooming.
Can the Corel products be set up to use the spacebar for a pan hand?
Today i started to experience this crash while moving multiple grouped objects. These objects were from a powertrace and had transparency. this is on vista 64bit. doesn't happen all the time.

My question is maybe more of a creative one than a technical one. I want to make an illustration showing that a moving particle has hit a target particle at rest resulting in a collision, where three new particles have been created. They are moving away from the collision point with high velocity. I have been giving it a try, as shown below, but I am not entirely satisfied, especially not with the two particles from the past creating the collision.
They are both gone after collision, but three new particles have been created after collision - Particle Physics is weird! How to make a nice informative illustration. At the moment I am using transparency to show the fact that the particles are moving ...Maybe I will need two illustrations to cope with the past and the future?
I've been exploring migrating my Design and PrePress departments away from Illustrator & Flexi and transitioning to Corel. Unfortunately I've hit a major stumbling block
Right now I have a team of designers laying out sign designs. They draw each sign and we generate a message schedule for those signs in excel. From there, we've been able to use the print merge function in Corel to transfer all the messages from the data sheet to the signs. The problem is, each sign is placed on a separate page within the Corel file. I know you can then use print imposition to gang those signs for printing...but the problem is we have a laser engraver, rotary engravers and routers that are all being run. I've fairly certain we could "print" to the laser without any issues but I'm not as confident regarding the other machines.
Typically once we have the drawings of every sign created (currently doing this in Flexi), we have programmers that gang all similar components together on files that are used to power the rotary engravers. Because the print merge function in Corel puts each sign on a separate page, I'm not sure how we'd be able to transition without having to copy, paste and place each sign back on to a single page. Our jobs often run into the hundreds of signs so the extra labor required would kill any savings such a transition might bring us.
Is there a way to combine pages post print-merge, to get all the objects on a single page? I had really hoped to be able to gang all objects together on a single page within a single file.
How can set that an object only moves per 1 pixel increments when moving using the arrows keys?I am designing a few web banners right now and when i move objects with the arrow keys to have them placed exactly, they jump with more then 60 pixels in one go making this exercise a bit useless.
I need to find a way to cut the shape of one object out of another object. In the above photo I need to be able to print the black crosses without the printer printing the white ink under them (you can see where the black ink is not adhering to the white ink very well).
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.
I wish to align a text like this at an oval shape. The field of the text body does align at all - which I can understand. Using the grafic text, it aligns directly on/ over the outline of the oval shape. But I won't have the whole text in a round - I just want to have the paragraph's left side to be aligned/ positioned at the outer shape of the oval.
Is there a reason why the radius of curvature at the corners of an object is not maintained when you either stretch it or shrink it? Is there a way around it without having to redraw and reset the radius?
I have a background image with Linear transparency applied on the top of my image. I would like to replicate the same transparency on the bottom of the image. How can I do this?
Im trying to cut out the centre of the letter R below. Normally I break curve apart, select the centre, and trim it from the outer. I can then select the centre piece and remove it. As you can see, this has worked with the letters P & O. When I do it with the R it seems to have worked, to the point where I can even select the centre and remove it, but when I put it back over a coloured background, it is still white.
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.
I know how to use the transparency tool to make and object partially transparent but is there someway to make an entire object transparent so that what you put behind the object shows through? I am using the symbol of our logo and want to put pictures behind it so that they show though.
I use Corel Draw X6.4 on a 64-bit Windows 7 PC, but since the first installation of Corel Draw X6 I have following problem:
I use millimeters as metric scale and when I create any object, the object manager states that the outline width of that object is set to 2 mm, but it is obvious that the width is only 0.2 mm. Now if I try to change the outline width to 1 mm, Corel draws the outline with a width of 10 mm instead and the object manager says that the width is even 100 mm. To solve that problem I always have pressed the Undo-button, so the width changes to the desired 1 mm but the object manager still tells me that the width is 10 mm.
Is it possible to do transparency all around the edge of an object. say you had drawn a circle can you make the edge all around transparent or say make just the middle transparent?
I often find that I would love to fade out in more than one direction.
I have made an object using the artistic media tool and I would like to copy and paste it, however when I try and paste it into my page there is nothing there but the bounding box. How do I copy and paste this object so it can be seen?
