CorelDRAW Technical Suite X6 :: How To Activate Various Callout Styles
Sep 29, 2013
I have downloaded evaluation versions of Technical Suite X5 as well as X6 from Corel's website and face the following problem in both versions (both are 32 bit).
resolving this issue with the callouts:
While drawing callouts, the shape menu is not visible. I have reset the workspace several time and played with all possible options before writing on this forum. Actually, the menu did appear once but subsequently disappeared. While the menu was visible it was great to have text boxes at the end of the callout that automatically adopted to the size of the text. How to I activate the callout shapes option? I have included a screenshot of the menu from the pdf manual for your reference.

When I select "Object Properties" as the source for the callout text, it always includes the field name. For instance, I select Field A and Field B as active fields in the Object Data Manager and enter "x" and "y" respectively, as the fields' value. The callout then produces the text "Field A = x" and "Field B = y". I only want to display the field's value (i.e., x and y). I don't want or need the "Field A =" or "Field B" = " displayed.

I downloaded the Corel Designer Suite X6 trial version yesterday. The downloading and the installation course ran problem free. The installation was finished successfully The programs were installed on Windows 7- 64 bit platform. After the installation I started to work with the Designer X6 and it was running correctly. I tried to import a 3D dwg. file into a new blank drawing and Corel started up XVL Studio program.
I tried to import one of my existing dwg. 2013 file in the XVL but during the process an error occurred. I tried again with different versions dwg and dxf files but XVL just couldn't import the files and I always was given the same messages. "Unable to import ... file". I'd like to insert my existing 3D drawing as vector graphic in Corel in order to editing technical illustration.

I have recently started working with CorelDRAW Technical Suite X6. I am trying to figure out if there is any way to customize the Workspace, change the color of the entire background like you can do in autodesk autocad? Are there any plug ins I can download for different menu bars or completely change the layout of everything?

Although it may sound strange for 2D projects and rapid technical presentation drawings I have for many years used CorelDraw. I like the ease of use and usability. The problem is the speed and response program for complex drawings. That does not compare to AutoCAD or similar (Archicad, Allplan, etc.). Closest to my idea of approaching is Vectorworks. The price is also important. I welcome the mentioned speed, simplicity, 100% import-export DWG, opportunities to work with bitmaps.

Corel Draw X6 - The document converts automatically all objects (including text) from c0 m0 y0 k100 to c72 m58 y53 k79. No matter how many times I set black back to 100 and the rest to 0 when i open the document all black colors are again in the cmyk mix.
If you try to convert back to k100 using the find and replace command it says the document can't find that color.

Is there a way to make the foreground color the default fill color? Having to click that every time is difficult.

When I export to a cgm file the callout halo shows up with an outline. This happens in a program called IADS. If I drop the cgm into word the callouts and connector lines do not show up at all. Is there a reason it does that? Also some text will show up doubled or tripled sometimes when converted. If I delete that text re enter it and convert its fine. since not to many company's use cgm format anymore.

CorelDraw X5 (German Version 15.0.2.0695):I've installed Corel X5 under Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.
When I try to set up my ppd-file in the printer dialog window, I can chose the ppd-file but the OK-button (öffnen) doesn't work. Clicking by mouse or by Enter button at the keyboard: nothing happens, the ppd-file won't be accepted. It seams the OK-button is out of any function in this window.

I converted a DXF file to a Corel Designer file. This DXF file also has some dimensions which turned into paragraph text. This paragraph text is turned by 90 degrees. The font size is rather small, so I increased it by some points. As the paragraph text frames were now too small, I tried to increase their size. However, the text frames always jump back to their original size.
I experimented a little bit and noticed that this is only, if the text is turned by 90 or 270 degrees. If the text frame is not turned or turned by 180 degrees, you can change the size of the text frame. Additionally this problem arises only, if the option "Expand and shrink paragraph text frames to fit text" is activated (in Tools | Options | Workspace | Text). Sometimes some text frames were adapted automatically, when I changed this option. However, I do not know when which text frame was changed.

Is there maybe a macro for styles (either text or graphics) that
1. connects objects assigned with a style, to that style LIVE? eg, altering the style properties, automatically all objects assigned with that style will adopt those changes too,
2. offers LOT more configuration options than the current default CorelDraw styles options

Problem with text styles: I have a big body of text, with several styles applied. The problem is, editing one of the styles does not affect the text that has this style applied to it. Changing the style or creating a new style does not work - it's like these particular parts of text are immune to editing the style. It works only when I select the text and manually apply the style. Further editing the style does not affect this text, I have to manually select it and apply the style again.

I'm just checking back in to see any updates on how to quickly and easily clear all color styles in a document. I've tried the following:
Os's nifty color styles patch (comes with recentfilesDecBeta macro)
saving as CMX (that bites because it converts underscores to objects and other mean things)
manually (takes too long and sometimes replaces colors in current document then save settings as default (I not like this).

In CDraw X5 I can choose line styles. But I would like to add some more styles (and to remove some that I never use).I only found a possibility to create new styles based on a kind of a pixel approach: A one-by-many array of single squares can be marked to be coloured of white, producing dashed lines with any kind of dash length.Also, the dash "frequency" seems to be dictated by the line width only; I do not manage to make thin dashed lines with a reasonably visible dash frequency.
However, I would like to make line consisting of other shapes, like circles, triangles, diamonds, etc., either filled or "open". Or make thin dashed lines with user-specifiec dash and space lengths that do not change when changing the line width. Is this possible?
Also, multi-colour dashes – with e.g. odd-numbered dashes in one colour and even-numbered ones in another color – might be useful.
In the current version, however, the number of dash schemes available is big enough to be confusing. Especially when the line is made relatively wide – say, 0,5 .. 1 mm or so – and I want to make more lines with the same shape, than it is difficult to find again the same shape the list of standard shapes. Is it possible to add names (or numbers, but not just running numbers!) to the shapes, so that a shape can be found again easily?

I am wondering if there is a way to import e.g. a table from a website without loosing the styles (CSS stylesheets). I want the table to be printable - so the resolution of a screenshot is too low.

I'm perfectly happy with the TrueType font (BankGothic Md BT), but all the style settings change to the T1 equivalent every time I close, and when I open the file again the T1 text does not show up. I can go through and reset all the styles, then re-apply them, but it wastes a lot of time.

I was wondering why Batang and Arial were appearing in the Fonts under Document Properties when I had not actively used them in my "New" document.
When I looked at the Default text files, I believe I see the reason. I find Batang listed as the default Asian Text font for both Artistic and Paragragh Text. The options for Asian Text don't seem to include any fonts that I have on the old machines.
Similarly, the Middle East Default Text style would seem to generate the Arial(Arabic) entry in the required fonts.
Is there a way to completely eliminate the default Asian Text and Middle East entries from the default text styles?

is there a tool in illustrator similar to 3 point call-out tool in coreldraw x5 where i can draw a line with arrow head and after I am done with that line type tool comes up automatically so that i can just start typing, like 3 point callout tool in coreldraw? I find its time consuming when i have to draw a line, then make it arrow headed, then select type tool n type againt it and repeat th whole thing again and again.

Is there a way to exclude single attributes from being defined in a object style? As example: i want to define an outline that does not change width of the objects, but everything else.
There is a small tick box right of every attribute with help text "None this object attribute is not defined by a custom style" but i can not mark it. My feeling is, that i need to switch on this tick box to get the result i need, but i can not. When i click on it, it just gives me a greyed out "Revert". When i try to make child styles, there is a way to break the connection to parent style with these tick boxes, but no luck.
Is it a bug? I tried it with X6, X6.1 and X6.2

I use this program for a long time, but never before I have had to use this tool in this way. Could the text be arranged as shown in the figure without breaking Callout Group Apart, and if so, how?

To create 2-color artwork from any colored vector clipart I used to be able to:
import colored clipart convert to CMYK if needed select entire graphic and create new styles with 2 parents change (edit) the colored parent to a named Pantone spot color (the child colors automatically become percentages of the Pantone spot color) "find and change" the remaining CMYK to Grayscale, and then back to CMYK (this ignors the spot color and converts the annoying rich blacks to percentages of K) export to a PDF file--which when imported into, say, InDesign, will separate on the K and Spot Color Plates only, in all its glorious shades of gray and tints of Pantone spot color.
I'm completely at a loss on how to do this in X6, and I'm on a short deadline.

I have about 500 .dsf files (from iGrafxDesigner ... maybe 1999 version).I need to convert these to .svg. I would like to avoid having to write an import/export script, but I have done scripting for AutoCAD, Rhino3d, and Lightwave3d, so if necessary I could do it I suppose.

I have many Corel Designer 9 files that use user defined arrowheads.
When I open these files in Designer 12. Every arrowhead is off by 1/4" inch, they are not touching what they need to be touching, as they are in the Designer 9 file.
I have removed the arrowhead in the Des. 9 file and just used a line that is touching the object, saved...Open in Des. 12 and it is still touching the object. So, it's something with the arrowhead.

I've been using coreldraw x5 to design pieces for small model houses that will be cut out with a laser. The designs are pretty basic, 4 walls, 2 gables, 2 roof sections. Is there a way I can take what I've done and put it together virtually so I have a 3d model I can show people?
I do have the full x5 Technical suite, although the only program I have used is coreldraw.

When I open a new fileI choose new from template and then I choose the custom template I need to draw on. I would like to add pages, what can I do to obtain the same template?
Right now I am taking the scenic route by having the template I want on the first page,leaving it blank and making a copy on the subsequent pages to draw.

We need to draw/modify some CGM graphics for a customer. These CGM should include the attributes "apsid" and "apsname" for a "grobject", according to the AECMA (ASD) Specification S1000D Issue 1.9.
How can I set these attributes in Corel DESIGNER X5? I found a predefined element named "Name", but no element named "Id" under object data. Further, I found out, that when I change the name of a object through the object manager the element "Name" changes also.
We should deliver the CGM graphics as CGM GREX 2.6, so these two attributes have to be correct.

In the old versions of TDX4 and TDX5 (?) it was possible to have the dimensions within the object group in which the measured object was part. In TDX5 SP1 it seems impossible to move dimensions into any group. They remain a list apart within the layer in which the measured objects are part.
Is this correct and is this an intentional "correction"? If so, I strongly propose to make it possible again to keep the dimensions together with the measured object in whatever group that measured object is in. When you have hundreds of objects within a layer, it really is a unmanageable nuisance that the dimensions are all at the top level of a layer.
I found another (related?) problem when applying dimensions on groups of objects. As soon as you have attached a dimension to one or more objects in a group (the dimension itself being outside the group at the top level of a layer), you can only select the group as a whole at the top level. You cannot select objects within the group. Also this problem was not in X4. I don't know whether this problem is typically X5 SP1, as I did not test it in the original X5. Also this is a real nuisance wasting a lot of time, because you have to delete all dimensions when you want to change something in a group.
This all I have also reported directly to Corel. I found a work around to both problems:
1. Ungroup the group and any subgroups.
2. Apply the dimension lines
3. Regroup again also including the dimension lines
Now you can access the dimension lines and all separate objects in the group.
