CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Unable To Select And Move Objects?
Nov 7, 2013
issue with selecting and then moving an object in Photo Paint? I can hover and get the object name, and then select but when I go to move the object PPT selects and moves an entirely different object. I have held down Ctrl, Alt etc. to no avail. Bigger objects are easier since there is more to grab on to but smaller objects are a pain.
I was working on a document and suddenly was unable to move selected objects! This was true on all 3 pages. I had not changed any settings. I could select objects but not move them.....In the Object Manager, all layers are visible and editable. Even Edit through layers is checked. And the working layer was red.
I can't seem to select more than one text object at a time.....
I will select a paragraph or artistic text object, press and hold shift, and then continue selecting text objects. Nothing happens.... well, it seems to be 'thinking' but nothing ever happens until I release the shift key and then only the last object selected gets highlited.
I'm using corel draw X5, I can't move object if I select "Traditional CorelDRAW" option for ctrl/shift keys, under Pick Tool menu in options window.
If I choose "Windows Standard", I'll be able to move the objects. But I don't like this behavior, because the way it draws new objects, anchoring them in center, instead of upper left corner.
This bug started just after I change this option, "just for curiosity". I wish I never discovered it. How can I solve it? I want to set ctrl / shift behavior to "Traditional CorelDraw" AND be able to move objects.
We need a macro that will allow you to select a certain color fill inside document and change all to no fill hairlines. It needs to be capable of doing it several times within the same document. Does anything like this exist out there?
We have color replacer. We want it to do this automactically with a static group of colors everytime without any manual maniplulation required.
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.
When I checked my computer for any any unused programs I got see this coreldraw (r) graphics suite x5 installed. When I got to uninstall it showed and error message that some sort of setup.xml is missing. When I checked this programs folder I got to see that there are two corel folders [Corel and Corel (2) ] in my C: drive. After checking all the file locations of different corel applications I deleted the Corel (2) foder. After that also corel was not being uninstalled. I don't want to re-format my computer only for this
I try to move a guideline with the field Y for example.1-) Put a guideline in the page2-) I need to put my guideline exactly to: Y: 5.181''.So, I put in the Y field 5.181''. The bug result is that the field makes an addition.If the position of the guideline is Y: 4.0'', and I want to move it to Y: 5.181'':the guideline go directly to Y: 9.181''.Another question:What is the use of the Object Origin button's options for the guidelines?
In the circle is some text, rounded - not circle text, it is placed on top rather than typed in the circle directly.
I need to edit the text and it won't let me select it! No matter how far I zoom in to make sure I'm clicking the text, the circle gets selected and the blend tool opens.
They are not grouped or anything. This has happened before many times and with much persistance I get there eventually - but is there a much faster way?
I have an object that I would like to create an inside contour. Just 4 inside contours. However, how can I pick what colors I want for the individual contours?
I select an object, then I select the Relative to object button:in the Property Bar, the X and Y aren't in 0.0 ".I have to deselect and reselect again the object and after that X and Y are ok.Same thing if I deactivate the Relative to object button:the X and Y show me 0.0 ".I have to deselect and reselect again the object and after that X and Y show me the real page's coordinate.
is it possible to display dimensions when you select the object (Appeared inside the object ).
As because i have to look for the property bar again and again for the dimensions since my eyes are soring as it appears in very less size. If it appears the inside the object with appealing big size, then it could be easier for the user to note the size instantly despite of observing the property bar.
When I select a PowerClip, I understand that a mini button bar should appear somewhere, which would allow me to do a number of things with the said clip. I don't see any floating 4-button mini bar?
I was able to re-size the content by going to the top menu ... but this mini- 4-button bar that apparently should appear whenever I hover over a PowerClip object is doesn't show up anywhere.
I know this discussion title is a bit murky, but the problem is a bit odd. I have Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2. In this version, I will activate the Select Tool, check Auto-Select: Layer, check Show Transform Controls, and then while using the Select Tool I will drag to create a rectangle to select multiple layers with content within the specified area.
Unfortunately, this action only works when I begin the selection from outside of the canvas area. If started from within the canvas area, no rectangle will appear, it will show me a measurement of my selection size, and then no layers will be selected upon release.
This cannot be working as intended right? I mean multi-select dragging cannot be intended to only work when started outside of the canvas right? Is there some way to fix this issue? Is this a bug? See the images below for more information on this issue.
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.
A colleague of mine has problems when moving a textbox.She grab the textbox with the mouse, the complete work area change to a white background, so she doesn't see, where she has to drop the mouse cursor. After she drop the mouse cursor, the background change to the graphic again.
The hardware she uses is new and included the following components:HP Z200 i7-870 Workstation2,93 GHz, 6 GB 1333MHz DDR3, ATI FirePro V3800 with 512MB RAM, Windows7 Prof 64bit
Is there a way to select objects like selecting all rectangles filled with red colour on the current page only. The find objects is not good for current page only. it works for whole document..so, any option?
I use everything keep them into the powerlclip and i have selected some of the powerclips and wanted to delete all the inside elements only. How to delete all the contents in the powerclip at once despite of going inside and deleting one after the other.
When i use margue select i get the blue dotted line but it disapears when i let go of the mouse and nothing is selected, this happens no mater what i'm trying to select. Do i not understanding how it works?
Second dumb question.
I have hit or miss luck with the weld feature some times it works and other times it simply will not work. I'm trying to make a small metal sign and need solid numbers (not Stencil) I draw a rectangle and add text above it and move it down to the top of the rectangle and select both and hit weld, some times it works and some times it doesn't. I have also tried to weld text to a 2 point line and cant do that at all, I suspect the 2 poing line is considered a demensional line so that may be my problem there. I have spent the greater part of a day trying to figue out thes two problems I have watched Graphics unleshed and read all i can find and still haven't figured out if it is me or the program. I have the problem with any of the fonts that come with X5.
I have followed the instructions carefully and am unable to fill anything.
I make a rectangle. Choose the colour from the palette, drag the little coloured box over to the rectangle and release. Nothing. Many years ago I used my brothers Corel draw, so I know ( or knew then ) how to colour a rectangle.
I'm not able to assign a Hotkey to enable me to use Corel Capture. No matter what I use, it tells me that the Hotkey is already being used by this system. I have deleted Hotkeys and then then tried to reassign them to no avail.
