When I hit CTRL+D, CorelDRAW duplicates the currently selected objects.
The first time I do this after installation, CD asks me for a default duplicate distance.
I now want to change this default offset values. How can I do this? I can't find any option to change the default values.
CorelDRAW Graphic Suite X6.4 @ Windows 7/Windows 8 - 64 Bit, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012
I want the selected object to be halved and duplicated and i would like to define a shortcut for x and y.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want all new documents to have a duplicate offset of 0,0 (so they appear right over top of the original). I can do this in a document... via Tools, options (or customization), document, general
set the x and y of the offset to 0
BUT, click on the "Document" tree branch and there are checkboxes to save the options for new files.
I enable "Save options as defaults..."
and click the "General options"
... and this should include the offset amounts...
click okay...
Then open a new document, draw a squiggle, hit Ctrl-D, but the offset is still .25 x .25.
I've tried clicking the Tools, "Save settings as Default" but that doesn't work either. I've also tried saving the workspace, but that doesn't work.
This feels like a bug, because both the save settings for a new file AND the tools, save settings as default should have saved these document settings (? right?)
I’d like to copy an object a distance that I specify on screen. I can see how to copy a specified number of inches, but that is very awkward. You have to measure the distance (horizontal and vertical) and then input the numbers, then click “apply”. Is there a simpler way to do it?
Or is there a way to paste at a specified location? If I do an Edit>Copy then Edit>Paste, it pastes the new object on top of the old one.
I have just installed CorelDRAW x4 and when I first used the 'Duplicate' tool, a pop up box appeared. The second time I used it, the pop up box did not appear and I cannot find how to open it again.

So, I found the following in the index:
"Copying objects quickly. You can use other methods to create copies of objects quickly, without using the Clipboard. You can use the plus sign (+) on the numeric keypad to place a copy of an object on top of the original object, or you can create copies instantly by pressing the Space bar or right-clicking while dragging an object."
The + sign thing is cool. Wish I had known. But the Space bar drag either doesn't work at all or puts down one copy at what is apparently a set distance from the original, and then a second copy wherever I release the mouse button. ? Win7, DRAW X6.
Duplicate files are being saved to our server with the suffix: "(user collision 0)".

I always thought this was a 'drawing precision' setting but even when I set that to 1 decimal place it doesn't seem to affect this.

See the figure below.
Is there any way to adjust the dimensions, when dragged, with regular distance from object?
See differences by red arrows. The intention is that dimensions keep a pre-set regular distance.

Make a circle. With text tool click on vector and type anything.
How can I increase the default text distance from the edge of an object? I need text a bit away from circle border.
I know this question was posted back in 2010, but thought I would bring it back to the surface to see if anything new has developed.
I am running X4. I draw jig saw puzzles in CorelDRAW (several shapes that I andomly node-connect) and each piece overlaps adjoining pieces on all four sides and are connected at multiple corner nodes as well as arc nodes. When sending to the laser for cutting, each side of each piece gets cut twice due to the overlapping lines. I was hoping the RemoveUnderlyingDups and NodeClean macro from a 2010 post would take these overlapping lines and create individual horizontal and vertical line segments from the connected nodes so the laser would make one continuous cut rather than duplicating all the cuts.
However, after running the macros, even on a small portion of the puzzle, I didn't get any results. I combined then broke apart as mentioned and still no joy. The only way I have been able to create separate line segments is to cut apart at the nodes and delete individual line segments... on 1250 pieces, with four sides and all sides overlapping, that's 10,000 separate edits... needless to say, duplicate cutting by the laser is faster.
Ideally, being able to create continuous horizontal and vertical lines based on corner node connections, would be the best. At that point, I could cut a 1250 piece puzzle with just 50 continuous horizontal lines and 100 vertical lines.
Is it possible to duplicate pages at a time. For example, I have 4 pages that are divided into titles per district and I need to set up multiple districts ranging from 3 to 12 ( I have already run Districts 1 and 2) So instead of copy/paste each title and enter a new layer, can I duplicate the 4 pages and then edit the district numbers?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had this problem since I loaded CorelDRAW X6 (64-bit) in June, 2012 but was busy learning all that was new since the ancient version running on my equally ancient Windows98 machine. Up until this point, I have tried all of the directions in the manual, this forum and on the website which includes, "Save Settings As Default". (These instructions do not differ from those I use in the old CD package only where I make them.)
These are the steps taken:
Open CorelDRAW X6 starting a new file.
Go to "Text Properties" Docker & choose the font, size, etc.
Under Tools, select "Save Settings As Default", close CDX6.
Technically, these steps should have saved the new font with associated choices for all future files until I change them again, but it does not. When I open a new or existing file, my new font changes do appear on the Text docker so I choose the outlined A on the toolbox bar, my choices are still showing on the Text docker and now, also on the Property bar. As soon as I click on the workspace where the flashing cursor awaits input, the text properties change to Arial, 24 pt, which has appeared since I first loaded the package. Should I redownload and reinstall the software? If so, where are the preference files so I can save them?
But when I double click out of the file manager it opens X5 ??

Sub NewDoc() ' ' Recorded 8/8/2011 ' ' Description: ' ' Dim doc1 As Document Set doc1 = CreateDocument() doc1.MasterPage.SetSize 11#, 8.5 With doc1.MasterPage .Orientation = cdrLandscape .PrintExportBackground = False .Bleed = 0# .Background = cdrPageBackgroundSolid .Color.CMYKAssign 0, 0, 0, 5 End WithEnd Sub
Mainly used to open a new document and make the layout background solid and non printable. I really like this feature since I work with the color white a lot, however I could not find any setting to start new documents with anyway. The macro creates a new doc and changes the layout setting to what I like, but when i run it with no documents open, the only menus i get are File View Tools.
X3 - I use X4 at work with no problems but at home I have X3. I set my workspace the way I want it and all my presets the way I want. I hit tools/save stings as default. I then save my workspace as todays date. Close corel and reopen. It starts with the defaults every time! I have to manually choose my workspace and even after doing so my settings have reverted back to default i.e. text to be point not inches like I chose etc.

Is there anyway to move the default locations, perhaps by a registry hack? I'd like to move it, at least to the AppData folder or even to another drive where it is easier to backup/make changes.
Is there a way that coreldraw x5 by default saves as to an older version e.g. 12, 13,. [ so we don't have to specially go to the save as dialog box] automatically just like there's an option in AutoCAD?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI use CorelDRAW X4 exclusively (90%) for Laser work. I have a Page saved as Laser Page. It use to open with a 24 x 12 page area and Horizontal and vertical guidelines in place. It is set to "show guidelines."
However, every time I open a new document, the page layout and guidelines are not there. I always have to rebuild the page and add the guidelines. What has changed so that all I get is a blank page anymore? Or how to reestablish my defaults? I have re-saved it as my new default countless times but nothing sticks. It's a pain to have to always reestablish the layout I want to work with..

My dropdowns of menu bar not looking same as default. There should be a line after Revert, Send to, Collect for output in File menu and same with other menus but I am not able to see that default line. That is not effecting me any way but eyes are set on default view which I like it.

How do I re-enable the bitmap editing? and if i have the choice I'd rather it opened photoshop to edit the file opposed to corel paint if this is at all possible?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set my default font size, Helvetica (Type 1) to 12 point. It keeps reverting back to 24 point.
I have to use Type 1 Helvetica and not that new "Helvetica Neuel T 55 Roman" because of standards for a magazine I work on. I though Open Type Helvetica (the real Helvetica) was included with CorelDRAW X6.
How do I get X5 to open with a new blank page as default?
If I enable the welcome screen it asks me what I want to open but if I disable it all I get is a grey area and I have to go to the drop down file menu ans select 'new page'.
I just got X6. I can't get my default color mode to save. I go to options, document,general and change it from CMYK to RGB click document to save styles for all but it doesn't save it. When I export I have to manually change CMYK to RGB and the resolution every time. In other versions once I set it it was always there. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
