CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Find And Replace Objects?
Aug 24, 2012
Why does the find and replace functionality have to be so sloppy to use? I have a customer that sends me cmyk drawings and I need them to be rgb. They also have lines that need to be changed to hairline from .25pt. It's frustrating how difficult this is to accomplish due to the sloppy interface that CD has had ever since I've been using it - since v12.
How hard would it be to allow you to change the palette, line width and colors on lines and outlines in one step? Right now it's multiple steps and don't forget once to change the target color palette or you'll convert everything back to cmyk...
I used the "find and replace text" and although my spelling was correct, it dindn't "find" it... But now the box wont go away and I cannot do ANYTHING on my page!!!
Looking for a nice script that can search a complex design with lots of linework and find all coinciding duplicates and select them all and delete them but leave (1) good copy.
Basically when I use Outline Pathfinder in Adobe Illustrator, then bring back into corel, sometimes get a lot of redundant objects. I already set the settings in Adobe Illustrator to minimize that as much as possible.
I know my code below wont work, just putting here to hopefully explain more exactly what im trying to do
Sub FindbyFill() Dim sh As Shape dim findColor ActiveSlection.GetColor = findColor For Each sh In ActiveLayer.Shapes If sh.FillColor = findColor Then ActiveSlection + sh End If Next sh
I need to replace all colors of document (except black) with one pantone. Is it possible?I've imported pdf file with vector and bitmap graphics, but it has few colors. I need to use just 2 colors in print. Is it possible to replace CMY with one pantone in print? How can I do it?Something like that:
I work for a trophy company and we set up all of our trophy plates in Corel. The company that I used to work for used EngraveLab. With EngraveLab I could make a Notepad file with all of the information that I wanted for each trophy plate. Then I would go into EngraveLab and set up one, hit a few buttons and it would automatically set up each plate for me, using the Notepad file to replace the text on each one. In a few minutes I could have 500 or more name plates set up. My question now is there a way to automate the text replacement so I do not have to mistakenly copy and paste each name by hand?
Corel Draw X5 (32 bit) ships with gpl ghostscript 8.64 (32 bit). On my PC (win7 ultra x64) is installed gpl ghost script 9.02 (x64) too.
Does CDR use the built-in gs hard-coded or does it read the information from the registry (or some config file), so I could "redirect" CDR to my newer version? I´d like to do this (any problems about x64 ?) and then uninstall gs 8.64 (that came with CDR).
Is it possible to do so and tag here any problems about incompatibilities?
I need to replace a common image on every page of a 32pp document. The reason being the original one has no bleed on. I have retouched the image to include bleed, but how do I replace or re-link the new one?
There is no links showing up in my links dialog docker at all..?
I often produce graphics in CorelDRAW, export it as en eps file and insert it inside a MS Word document as an image and finally convert it to pdf. This way my vector graphics (often linedrawings with or without fill) usually is preserved in the final pdf document. I can zoom in and the lines keep on displaying perfectly sharp. This is important, since it easily looks bad when thin lines are turned into bitmaps, even when watched from a distance.
Now, in some graphics I created today, I had a circle with fountain fill and outline (symbolizing a sphere) put behind a filled rectangle, which had a uniform transparency applied to it. In the resulting pdf file, the 'sphere' was turned into bitmap. Inside CorelDRAW everything was vector graphics, but something was loast in the process. what happens with the graphics in the different steps in the process and eventually could explain a workaround to make everything look as vector in the final pdf file.
I have an existing X6 document which has a rectangle object with a Lens attached.
I did not create the document, so what sort of lens it is and what settings the lens has. I suspect it is a transparency lens.
I cannot find any way to locate the settings for this lens - so that I can reproduce and modify the lens settings. Where i can find the settings for the lens?
Is there a good (better?) way to find a local printer? I am just starting a desktop publishing business, part time, out of my home and I would like to find a good local printer in the Calgary, Alberta area. Do I just go thru the yellow pages and try my luck?
I just started using CorelDraw X5 (previously used version 10 or 12) and I can't find the Bezier tool. When I watch tutorials it looks like it should be under my curve tools, but it definitely isn't. Do I have a setting turned off or something... or is this a glitch?
I just create a few objects in the symbol manager, now I want to send those contents I createt to a friend. But I cannot find my library/symbols folder in the Corel Draw folders.
Im new to X6 from version 9 so I'm pretty clueless (and I'm self taught at that). How do I turn off the "auto edge detect" or whatever its called? For example...When I'm drawing with the Bezier or freehand tool and I am trying to go in between a tight space its constantly wanting to got to one of the edges.
I have some 20 pages file and used 2 font in it. Now when I look in Text - Text Statistics it is showing 6 different fonts other then I have used. I try to look in object manager it is showing paragraph text with only one font. How to find out the fonts that is not used by me.
I've recently upgraded to Corel Draw X6 via download, however I can't find the additional specialized fonts, templates, etc which are supposed to come with it.
I have this text on a notepad and I want to make the same design in Corel Draw X6.
I have a few question. Which is the font used there? I tried looking through all the fonts in Corel and noone was the same. Sites like Whatthefont won't answer me correctly because the letters have white line inside.
My second question is this: I need to make the same design, so the white line should be in the letters. How to make that? Is this a font property or do I need to make it by hand? If it isn't a font property, how can I make it?
I cannot find the default Placeholder Text Folder.In 'My Documents, I have 2 Corel folders:In the first one, it contains: Content X6.Inside of it, it contains 5 folders:1- Bitmap Patterns, 2- Image Lists, 3- Photo Frames, 4- Templates and 5- Vector Patterns.and there's no RTF Placeholder file.In the Second Corel folder, it contains: Corel Content.Inside of it, it contains 3 folders: 1- Bitmap Pattern, 2- Trays and 3- Vector Patterns. and there's no RTF Placeholder file.
I had the free trial of X5 and it expired. So, I paid for the download of X5 but I cannot find the icon in the drop down list? I may have deleted it at some point but there is nothing in the recycle bin.
I was able to use the capture tool..and I think i can show the list in question..but I am totally new to using capture. Ok..how do I include in this message anything that I "captured"?
I am fairly new to CorelDRAW and I am having an issue with layering objects that I can't figure out. The problem I am having is this:
I have two line drawings, and one sits on top of the other. Normally, the object in the back is partially hidden by the one in the front. However, I have just done a drawing where the object in the back is NOT partially hidden by the one in the front, and it looks like they are both on the same layer. What happened? I am not sure if I inadvertantly changed a setting, but I can't seem to figure out how to hide that back layer. I have tried using the 'order' function, and that usually works, but for some reason it is not working this time.
Is it possible to convert/open a CDR file to a CPT or PSD file such that the objects are editable. Specifically I need the text to be editable in the resulting CPT or PSD file. I'm using X3.
I have been unable to find a macro to perform elliptical fills, or for dynamically interactive fractal/"plasma" fills.
It would seem to me, that these could have already been written by any of the experienced macro programmers for CorelDraw. No interest, or are these sort of fills too difficult to programmatically implement through a macro?
I'm making tickets and i need to add tickets numbers, from 1 to 1000. Print & Merge doesn't fit for me.So I want to change text tag for example: "<text>" to text which will be different (1, 2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ...) Wagenaar where the code finds word "Andorra" and change it to "Andorre".
Public Function FindReplace(ByVal str As String, ByVal toFind As String, ByVal toReplace As String) As String Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To Len(str) If Mid(str, i, Len(toFind)) = toFind Then ' does the string match? FindReplace = FindReplace & toReplace ' add the new replacement to the final result i = i + (Len(toFind) - 1) ' move to the character after the toFind Else FindReplace = FindReplace & Mid(str, i, 1) ' add a character End If Next iEnd Function. [code]...
Having issues with exporting files to an .eps format - using "selected only" some of the objects that I have selected do not get exported - ie. they are missing from the .eps file altogether.
On top of that, most of my colours get washed out to a grey scale - I do work in spot colours.
