Is there any solution, as powerclip is consuming much time to come out of.... and also note that it is having many objects inside the powerclip. It should not act like a normal object, consumes much memory and time
View 3 RepliesI am using X4 for use in my dye sublimation business. I have an image that was provided to me from my customer. I created a template in Coreldraw, sized the photo to fit and power clipped it into the template. I than created the text the customer wanted and placed it over the image. I than grouped everything together and printed the image. When it prints, the only thing that prints is the template border and the text. I than took the same template and text and power clipped a completely different image into it. Sent it to the printer and voila, no problem.
The image the customer sent to me is a .jpg image. I don't understand why it won't print. Is it possible there is some sort of code or something within the image that is preventing it from printing ? It sounds far fetched to me but I had to ask. If I export the completed image as seen on the screen to a Jpeg and view it on the screen, the powerclipped background is there.
With X6 if I extract the contents an object still shows up as a Powerclip. How can I get X6 to stop treating it as a powerclip?

View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen you extract everything from a powerclip, the object that was the powerclip retains it's powerclip state. The biggest problem is when it no longer has any contents, that big X appears across the object to show that it's an empty powerclip. OK, I can deal with that or ignore it, but the problem is, the thing acts like it's part of the object as far as printing goes, and that I can't have. This can't be the way it was originally intended to work? Shouldn't it be just an on-screen indicator, and not a physical part of the object now? I know I can revert the object back to a "normal" object, but it seems to be just another useless step that shouldn't be needed.
What I'd like to see is an option that when a powerclip no longer has any objects inside, it automatically reverts to a normal object like in previous versions of Draw. Of course, it's too late now, that will never happen. If anything, it should be possible to have the empty powerclip X indicator be changed over to a "phantom" object that is only shown on screen and doesn't exist in any other way so that it doesn't print or otherwise effect the drawing.
Great, it shows up in PDFs too. Looks like I'll have to get used to hitting that "No Frame" button every time I hit the "Extract Contents" button. Or maybe I'll write a macro to do both and link it to a toolbar button. Reminds me of a post I made about Corel Script in version 6 (yes, six, not sixteen) where it allowed us to write our own "feature" fixes when options were removed for no good reason.
Is there a way to resize a powerclip container that keeps the contents at its original size - so you can view more or less of the contents simply by changing the shape of the container?
(Rather than editing the contents or extracting the contents and then resizing the container).
Is this possible to hide the ghost display which is not in x5. This is confuses me often.

I am creating a CMYK document. After converting a reference photo to CMYK I imported it into my DRAW file. I will use that to pick colors.
The problem: the eyedropper tools work correctly capturing CMYK colors as long as it is not in a powerclip. If I place that image in a powerclip the eyedropper tool only sees RGB.
Is there a setting somewhere that I need to make or am I stuck just working outside of the Powerclip? I have plenty of alternative ways to workaround this issue, just didn't know if this was a bug or something.
CORRECTION: It's not the Powerclip at all. It has to do with whether or not I have the layer locked. Unlocked = CMYK, locked=RGB. ?
Also, changing the Edit Across Layers setting seems to be a problem as well.
I found a bug on X6 and not sure if it was there before the update. I have a Power Clip frame that contains 2 images.
The one to the right is smaller than the frame while the one on the left is much bigger and there is a blank space between them. When I export the image to a PSD file the bigger image inside the frame wraps around and a portion is displayed on the right.
I am just newly figuring out that I can complete repetitive tasks by recording a macro, simple right? I am trying to power clip an imported image into a shape via macro but it is not working.. I am getting Run-Time error's... Parameter Index is out of range.
I have one "shape" and 25 different car logo's I am needing to power clip the logo inside the shape with the click of the "macro" and it is just NOT WORKING! I understand that I can complete the task at hand by simply creating 25 bitmaps, one with each logo then simply importing that into my document, but I need to figure this Macro for this out because it will become more complex and time consuming as time goes on and I add more logos and different shapes in which I need to power clip them into. I simply understand that I can hit the "RECORD" button, do what needs done and then hit stop.. then of course do this again later by playing the macro.
I'm having an issue with PowerClip I never used to have in X3 (the last version I was able to afford).Basically, some small details in a graphic keep getting irreversibly lost due to PowerClip... I'm tracing over a drawing I scanned, and placing small details inside larger objects to keep my workspace clean. What's going on is, as I get to work on, say adding blends and gradients to a different part of my graphic, the next time I zoom out I notice the details I placed inside a container I wasn't currently working on are suddenly gone; They're not in the wireframe view for either the full image or within the container, and have simply vanished from the container, as though I never even made them. I make sure outlines are always converted to objects before I put them in a container, but I can't imagine it matters..PowerClip is one of my most-used tools and it'll really limit my abilities if I can't rely on it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to X6 (32bit on vista). I use the powerclip feature a lot and have noticed that when I open a graphic I put together in a previous version (usually X5), if I have an object that has a powerclip and I extract the contents and delete them just to leave the original shape (that was the container). That shape that's left has an 'X' across it that I can't get rid of? I can even see it in the wireframe view. I tried the virtual segment delete tool to try to eliminate the lines but it didn't seem to do anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on the cover and editorial pages of a large publication and used CorelDRAW X6. Converted the pages to PDF and sent to press folks who use Kodak Insite to put the publication to press. They noticed on the CMY channels a white "X" strangely going from corner to corner on the pages. They eliminated it on their end before going to press. Initially, the proofing pages had all content within the bleeds powerclipped to 8.5x11 and then the pages contents were extracted to create bleeds, which left the dreaded "X" behind. I've been in the biz for 30 years and using Corel exclusively since it's inception (10,000's of hours with DRAW) I understand this is the way X6 treats powerclips now and I can select "none" in the context menu to eliminate the "X"... but who da thunk it would show up in a press file!?
I'll go to wireframe mode and proof pages from now on..If I say I don't want a powerclip anymore, I don't want to jump through hoops (or a handful of mouse clicks) to remove it. Any word on this being altered in future updates/versions?

Since older versions of CorelDRAW that I have set the recovery time for Auto-Backup saving time as 3 minutes only, in order to reduce the partial loss of job, when the program crashes.I'm doing a series of small illustrations vectorized (yes, hundreds of them!) and I intend to reduce this time for just 1 (one) minute!This time decreased in 2 minutes (from 3 to 1) can make a difference, because some of these vectors are made fast, and unless those two minutes, I may lose some illustrations if freezing or any other irregular behavior of the software and/or Operating System, though these illustrations are subdivided into several files (simple vectors) and do not consume a lot of RAM.
Reducing the time of Auto-Backup for just 1 min is a risk, or how it can affect the performance of the software or OS? Or one thing does not interfere to another? [URL]
I use CorelDRAW on a daily basis and recently the program takes a lot of time to open/close/save my files, or sometimes it'll simply freeze.
View 6 Replies View RelatedNot sure if this is expected behavior but I've found that it's only possible to snap to one type of guide/grid at any given time.
For example if you want to snap to a guideline in the horizontal and the pixel grid in the vertical, you won't be able to. Instead, the snap will work on the guide and completely ignore the pixel grid.
When i start corel it takes really long time to create new document. Or when i save document it also takes a lot of time. I resest workspace, clear temp directory, what else could i do??
