'developing' or 'unrolling' or 'finding the true shape' of a 3D surface? Something similar to Robert McNeel's Rhino3D's UnrollSrf command to flatten a surface. (Is a mesh better?)
I am drawing the frames for a wooden surfboard which has curved spars (the surface in question) which need rolling out flat to make a template. The surface is curved in the XY axis only, so in theory it should be developable.
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.
We have created a simple label and grouped several components in CorelDraw X5. Now we cannot ungroup the components. When we right-click the group, the options to group or ungroup are dimmed. The result is the same when right-clicking on the group in the object manager docker.
Perhaps related, is the fact we cannot select the components of the group from the object manager docker. We can select the group, but none of the individual components in the group. None of the layers is 'Locked' in the object manager docker so we should be able to edit them.
What might be preventing us from accessing the ungroup option for a group?
Having an issue with my objects not letting me drag them. I can move them with the arrow keys, by the coordinates, and can even move the nodes but i can't just grab and drag them with the mouse.

I created a design in Corel X6. My design was then sent to a vinyl cutter and heat pressed on to t-shirts. My problem is this: where the vinyl overlaps I get an impression mark on the vinyl at the top. How can I delete the portion of the design in Corel that will beoverlapping to eliminate the impression marks?
I glad to know can i run object with text in coreldraw. I'm working on a book the when i format the some paragraphs the fractions and decorative things back and fro from its original position. So it's a pretty hard to arrange manage on its original position. I try by grouping them with text boxes. The real problems is about fractions and square roots which is drawn by nodes. Can i add equation from math type in text box.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I print from Corel Draw X3 some of the objects do not print. They are in the art and show up fine on the print preview but then when I print, those objects are missing. It's almost always with customer art that I've imported. I can't recall it ever happening with art that was designed in X3.
It's the strangest thing. If I change the color of the object that won't print it will then show up in the print preview for the corresponding color. But it still won't print. I usually end up having to recreate that object and then it prints fine. I don't understand why it wouldn't print if I'm able to view the object and change it's color.
I'm using Accu-Rip software, an Epson 1400 printer, and Windows XP. We print separations for screen printing.
When working on a custom page size, the bitmaps and vector objects disappears, well, i can still select them, but i cant see them, i import the images using the import function, all fine, till i try to move them or resize them, then they vanish.

I draw an example to demonstrate the problem. I created this box using snap to objects, after removing the outline it leaves a visible gap between objects. Even if i draw without an outline, the gap still show.
how to trim 2 objects. First one is a single line scribble on the background. Second object is a face silhouette. I select both object and try to trim the scribble line running thru the head, using "arrange/shaping" but can't select the function trim. The only one available is simplify, all others including trim are inactive.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have several documents that I regularly access and each has a logo that is normally visible and prints without issue. The object comprises some text and a drawing object.
Earlier this week I added a new second monitor to my machine and since then opening documents in CorelDraw results in a beige, rather than white, workspace. If I change the colour profile from the default "sRGB IEC6 1966-2.1" to the "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" profile the white workspace returns, but part of my logo is still not visible.
If it was only one document I might have thought I'd accidently deleted and saved it, but I have at least a dozen or more documents and each document has the logo repeated several time and in all cases only the drawing object is visible, the rest of the logo has vanished, even when printed. I can see the full logo in a document preview prior to opening it.
I have tried unplugging the new monitor, but haven't yet tried a reboot with it disconnected. The monitor that was replaced was an Iyama AS4314UT and it has been replaced with a Dell E1911 Digital. both are my secondary displays, the primary is a Samsung Synchmaster 943 which I have been using for a few years.
I want to count objects in a photo, by marking them (with a dot or something similar) so I know what I've already counted, and then be easily able to tell how many objects there are in the photo. Is there a way to do this in Corel Draw? I'll be counting hundreds of images so it needs to be a fairly quick method of marking each one.

The web coders nowadays only seem to be able to work with layered PSDs and I'm doing my designs in Draw.
this is probably an easy one but is there a way to cycle through overlapping objects?
to give an example I have three images overlaid that perfectly match up I want edit the objects underneath without having to move the top layer, what is the best way to do this?
How can I revert all symbols to object in document?
View 15 Replies View RelatedI'm designing a catalog with some prices, every product have a code. Working with layers, I can group 3 objects: A produtc photo, the price and the code. So I rename the group to the code of especified product.
As we see, I can identify the groups, and by code I know what the product I'm working on. I think it's a very organized way to work.
Here the question:
Can I load the prices values from a txt file? I'm using X5.
My wife is designing some tote bags that she will have screen printed. I use CorelDRAW at work for manual publishing, and she is having me draw out her designs. I was wondering if there is a way to cut out the white objects from the black object behind in the graphic below. It would save having to add a white color, instead just showing the natural color of the bag.
On another note, I'm getting tired of having to do this for her, but she says the screen printers only take .cdr or .ai files. She's been using iDraw on my iPad to come up with her designs, then I replicate them in Corel. She has a Mac laptop, and I'm wondering if there are any reasonably priced programs that would export to .ai or .cdr so I don't have to do this anymore.
I need to weld to objects that has different colors and still keep these two colors, is that possible? When I do that now the weld obejcts get the same color..

Question: How can I get the objects to appear in the Object Manager?
I have the CorelDraw 6X suite. The objects in the Object Manager window are not showing up. It's supposed to have curves, images, and text there. Instead, it has got just the following:
Master Guides (all pages)
Desktop
Guides
Layer 1
Document Grid
I have been using CorelDraw since about 1999. My first CorelDraw program was CorelDraw 9. Then about six or eight months ago I purchased CorelDraw 6X
This is the first time anything like this has ever happened.
is there a way to make a blend on an irregular object, for instance an object made with custom curves using the bezier tool. I can get it to blend with a circle or square. Here is an example, this is my website. URL..... I did the top graphic one object at a time.

regularly, when i produce a file contains some outlined elements as PDF, these elements are not appropriately look fine, in case of circle shape, its border doesn't have a smooth circled path (it rather looks like shattered or broken lines), unless when zooming in for 3 times, it actually depends on the file depth, however, Illustrator doesn't have this problem, and people ask me why? so what went wrong?.
I've attached an example (Graphic1.pdf) to have a look at the problem closer and in case you didn't get my problem!
I have created a two page file. None of the objects, text or layers locked, but the program is not allowing me to move anything.
I have restarted the program and cleared my temp directories.
Is there a simple way to align 2 objects edge to edge? I can draw 2 lines that are parallel and apart the distance equal to the sum of the 2 objects, then do alignments of the objects separately (Top of one to top of the 2 lines, then bottom of the other to the bottom of the 2 lines and so on) which accomplishes what I want, but is there a quicker way?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI often need to convert all outlines to objects in a design before I send it out or when I create a flash base for screen printing. I know how to convert and outline to an object, but my question is:
How do i convert ALL outlines to objects at the same time? Is there a function I'm missing or possibly a macro? Also, I don't want to have to select every outline myself. I'm already doing that and ctrl/shift/Q. Also, If I'm forced/limited to doing it myself manually, there's always the chance that I miss one. I cannot believe that this isn't a native function.
I have a document (booklet fold set-up) consisting of linked paragraph text and some objects (jpegs) spreaded through-out the booklet.
After selecting All Text, I have set the paragraph spacing at the Paragraph Formating Docker > Spacing > Paragraph & Line > After Paragraph to 70%. That very nicely decreased the whole document's space between paragraphs on all pages to the size I wanted. Problem is that the moment I move any object into that paragraph text and set it to Wrap Paragraph Text, then the space between the paragraphs simply jumps back to full size, even though it still shows 70% in the paragraph docker. (It happens only on that page, all others are still showing a 70% space between paragraphs.) And there's just no convincing it to go back. It's as if the presence of the object overrides this setting.
When I try to interactively blend two objects i don't get any step objects. Shouldn't there be repetition of objects between the two that I want to blend? Am I making any sense?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I have more than 1 page I wish to learn how to make so that each page has its own guidelines.
Rather, I find myself seing the same guidelines on all pages.
Also, if I have few objects placed on one page how to make so that I will not see them on the other pages?
I am extremely new at Corel Draw X5. I am in the middle of a design; page 30cmx160cm (for printing purposes) however to make it easier my design is sitting 160cmx30cm
I have started the design consisting of 200+ objects. By grouping them i presumed that it would make one object and when I rotated them 90 degrees to fit the page they would rotate in the same they sat originally.
But when I rotate the group it rotates the individual objects on their individual axis not on a group axis.
Is there anyway getting around this without moving each individual object?
