I have a problem with importing AI files to CDx6. Everytime i do so, the curves split up. Like if i have a circle that i can fil in adobe and then open it in CD, it breaks it apart so i have to join curvs and what not. This is a huge problem when i import templates and such..
View 1 Replieswhy in CS6 some vector files have this odd outline around shapes. It's visible when editing the file, exporting the file & placing it within Photoshop as a smart object.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble doing this in my current software, Serif Drawplus, PSE, Photoplus, (I have Gimp but haven't used it ever yet). And I am considering buying X6 for use in other projects. So, can x6 do this in either Photo Paint with a bitmap, or in X6 with a group of Vectors?
I want to wrap a bottle with a logo. The mesh warps aren't working for me in the above applications, and envelope warping will not work either. Transform-Warp is not present in PSE. I mention that because I see a tutorial for PS using that. How would Corel X6 Suite do this? I am considering buying the software once some questions I have about it are cleared up. I wish Corel would make the manual and tutorial videos public. I'd rather download the trial for actually using it rather than trying to see if some feature is present, or a workaround for a feature a competitor has.
I am also hoping to make in this project, some 10-20 different bottles with the logo on, of different sized bottles and different rotations of the bottles. Plan D is acquainting myself with Blender, but lets hope I don't have to go that far!
Outlines don't scale globally with objects. I have a crest with a bunch of elements in it. Some have outlines and some don't. It's 3 inches. I would like to enlarge it to 10 or whatever. If I select the crest and enlarge it, the outlines don't scale. The only option I've ever known of was to take them all individually and check off the scale outline on each object. It's a real workflow killer.
I spent the day reacquainting myself with CorelDraw. This and other similar show stoppers remind me of how difficult it is to make the switch from Illustrator back to CorelDraw. So how are people dealing with this? Are you simply taking however much time it takes to change each individual element to scale with object or is there a preference somewhere that I'm missing? This is a big stumbling block for me. There are a lot of major features I know I'd be leaving behind but there are others that I'd have access to. It's the little things like this that allow me to fly rather than crawl.
After using Powertrace to trace a bitmap, I zoom in to the outline and can only see one line.
However when I export as a DXF, my cam program always says it is removing overlapping outlines. Thing is there are quite a few double outlines left (very close to each other but not exactly parallel). Because these remaining outlines did not cross, my cam program did not remove them.
Because of the remaining double outlines, the cam program basically doubles up on the cut path.
If I trace manually with the bezier tool and shape tool, I don't have this problem. It's only when tracing with Powertrace.
I just started using CD X5. I want to buy a cycling skinsuit, similar to this one: URL....
I have a chance to design it myself and send a .cdr file to the company that manufactures it. I have some questions. I drew a basic shape of the suit and split it into 3 objects like this: URL....
Black legs is object 1, middle 2-color part is object 2 and white top is object 3, I wasn't able to fill the middle part with a black-white pattern unless I made it an object. I surely know there is a way to do it all with only 1 object that is divided into 3 sections but how? Smart fill works when you just draw some lines that form a closed contour but regular fill doesn't. Secondly, how to use a pattern fill that doesn't affect outlines? Third question is how to nudge only part of an object, for example if I want to make sleeves longer? Now I'm able to move the whole object only.
Is there any free macro or any script in this forum to convert all the outlines (in a document or page) to objects .
View 4 Replies View RelatedI often create graphics in CorelDRAW export it and inserting it into my MS Word documents and finally convert my documents to pdf. When it is vector graphics, exporting as EPS works fine: The increase in file size is small and lines are displayed perfect independant of how much you zoom in the final pdf document. When I handle bitmaps, I usually export as JPG (or PNG), which works well too. My problem arise when I have a mixed vector and bitmap image. I have imported a bitmap into CorelDRAW and created some lines on top of it. I want to export it as a whole. If I export as EPS, the final result is fine, but filesize has increased considerable. If I choose to export as jpg, the filesize is fine, but the lines are getting slightly blurry. Is there a way to get the best of both Worlds - resonable filesize and perfect lines? Maybe settings in some dialog??

View 6 Replies View Related This is my first post in the Corel forum and I hope I did it all right here:
First Bug -> In my last contest work I've tried to embed many transparency effects. While I designing my graphic I've used (among many others) a transparency effect that named »Behind« (in my German version of CorelDRAW it's named »Hinter«). I've applied that effect to a texture bitmap graphic and it worked correctly so long the bitmap overlaid a vector shape in an ordinary way. But after I include the bitmap into the vector shape (using the vector shape as a Power Clip) obviously the used transparency effect conflict with the anti aliasing function of the vector shape and the smooth margins of the vector shape turned into rough boarders and the vector shape looked like a bitmap in a poor resolution. I guess it is only an indication error in CorelDRAW but for a designer's eyes this bug is very disturbing and should be corrected by Corel!
Second Bug -> Often I use CorelDRAW for vector illustrations and that's why I have to integrate scanned sketches (JPEG format) to build vector illustrations bases of it. Here we have another indication error or better to say a performance problem of CorelDRAW. While I using the sketch image in extended view mode the zoom function of CorelDRAW works correctly and pleasant fast. But if I switch to simple contour mode the performance of zoom mode of CorelDRAW worsens rapidly. The performance of my computer is not the problem with this because my hardware is on a high level and I use an well arranged and clean Windows 7 operating system. It would be nice if Corel is able to fix that problem because it disturbs the work flow enormous and it minishs the fun that I have while I'm using CorelDRAW!

View 2 Replies View RelatedUse CorelDraw X for laser engraving? I did have X3 and just changed to X5 and need to cut Ovals in Flexi Brass and the file engraved fine, but did not vector cut the Red outline.
View 10 Replies View Related I use and really like Corel Draw X3 (almost 3 years) and will keep that version on one P4 computer that runs win xp pro 32 bit.
X3 has been a great version that never crashes but it is getting slow as I increase the number of objects and symbols in my files. I have a new comp with win 7 pro 64 bit running CDraw X6 and the latest epilog 64 bit driver for my mini 24. I have been using the new X6 for 3 days .
In X3 a hairline or .001 is a vector cut. A line width of .005 and above are raster lines and they work well in my Epilog mini 24. I am using a 1.5" diam lens. In X6 a .005 line will not raster but only vectors. If I change it to .006 it becomes a raster line and will engrave OK.
The big Question:
Is there a way to make .005 raster as it did in X3? I have hundreds of files that are all .005 line width. I don't mind changing them but would rather not.
Could this change be because of the latest Epilog 64 bit driver that I am using with win 7 pro? Almost all my files have oddles of very fine detail (.005) and they would look a bit muddy changing the line width to .006.

I made a circle over a image. I want to erase-trim the image outside the circle.
CorelDraw X5 v. 15.2.0.686 Hot Fix 4 - Windows 7-64
X6 becomes very unstable when using fills with vector patterns. There is, for whatever reason, a lower limit for the size of the pattern (1 inch) that is way to high for most textures, so the only way to work around is to calculate the wanted size of the pattern tiles, enlarge the object accordingly, fill it, assign the size with object attribute and renormalize the size of the object. This used to work fine in prior versions, but X6.3 already crashed several times instantly or soon after the procedure at my site. This is not amusing.
Is there maybe another way to get past the silly one inch pattern size limit?

I'd like to create a vector graphic with precise object size and placement so that when I import into PhotoPaint I get a precise conversion.
For example (use no outlines):
make a black square 10mm in diameter create 9 colored squares 2mm in diameter placed 1mm from the edge of the black square and 1 mm from each other copy all your squares paste into photopaint setting size to 10 pixels square and turning anti-alias off what you get is not what you drew in corel draw
Here's my example as a vector:
and as a bitmap:
So the squares are completely the wrong size - 1 pixel larger than they should be and in the wrong position!
Interestingly if you import the same vector as a bitmap 100 pixels square it looks better - however you'll notice that the colored squares are, in fact, 21 pixels square and not 20!
The conversion process seems to make every object larger by one pixel in each dimension - not useful. I should note that this effect happens in X5 as well.
Just installed X6 and tried CONNECT for the first time and it doesn't display the thumbnails of the vector images only bitmaps etc.. Any way to correct that?

One Xenetech XLT1325 and one ULS M-300. Everything works fine until I send over a job which requires a vector cut line (hairline set to higher power to cut through plastic etc..) The vector do not appear to be recognized by either laser machine. I have tried to import the pallette that I was using in X3 but to no avail.
New to Corel Draw. We just purchased a laser cutter to cut our stencils (we airbrush), but having a VERY hard time figuring out how to prep the vector images. We follow instructions, but it seems to always have a problem. We usually separate layers on photoshop and then trace on Corel so it can be a vector, but it doesn't seem to be working. What is the easiest, most simple way to turn an image into a vector so we can send it to the laser software??? Only doing black and white, one layer at a time.
Just need simple instructions, and most seem to be WAY too complicated or always have some complication. I have watched videos and read instructions, got close, but no cigar. Sometimes I think I have a vector, but when I send it to the laser software it doesn't detect it. I need simple instructions, Simple simple!
Can I make an image a vector without tracing it? Does it have to be a bitmap to be a vector? I can't turn images into curves because the option is gray (not available). If I select hairline it puts a hairline border around the image and I don't want it cut!
I have an .eps file I am trying to import into corel 11 and it keeps coming over as an image and not vector. I also am getting error messages when I use the filters.

Can you download a Google Docs Drawing file as a file.svg type And then import it to CorelDraw and convert it to a bunch of CorelDraw vector based lines that can be modified like any other CorelDraw line drawing?
BTW, this is a drawing of a character and is simply b&w lines & shapes on a white background.Line widths vary in the original and we want to be able to modify them even more using all the tools in CorelDraw.
I was able to open the .svg file with CorelDraw but when attempting to 'Edit' a line in the drawing I couldn't change the line width... so it isn't behaving like a CorelDraw vector drawing.
I have problem with publishing my work in PDF. I have vector background (in thin stripes like) and several polygonal bitmap objects on it but in the PDF-file everything under the bitmap objects is bitmap also... And the stripes (of my background) are very ugly and jagged - part vector, part bitmap...
Could I complete that work correctly in CDR or have to search some other resolution?
