Borders usually align through their central axis. For example, if I want an image to touch a border an I use the match position command [eyedropper tool], the border will align according to its central axis. What I want to do is that the border should align by its external edge. I want coreldraw to consider the thickness of the border while aligning things. How can I do it?

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?

I have 2000 objects in my drawing and they all have outline pen widths that are abnormally thick, say 5000 mm. I'm using that method to export additional info with the AI file. Of course, I use Simple Wireframe view model.
Whenever I change an object, X5 takes about 90% CPU for about 8 seconds,and during that time I can't do anything else with Corel Draw.
I suppose it is drawing somewhere and thick lines take too much time.If I change all the objects to Hairline, or I enable Manual refresh, things work smoothly.
Is there anything I could do to prevent X5 from drawing all objects somewhere? I've tried disabling Use Off-screen image, but that doesn't work.
I thought it was Windows Aero, creating taskbar thumbnails, but I suppose that happens only when the thumbnail is actually visible on-screen.
BTW, Corel 11 and Corel 7 don't care about pen thickness...

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I put a jpg (or cpt, png, etc) inside a circle (or whatever) using PowerClip, eventually CorelDraw prints out a thin line in one of the jpg borders. The line is not shown in the "printing visualization" thing. I can work around this issue creating a rectangle the same color as the background and placing it over the "inexistent line". This is not only extremely annoying but also makes me waste resources as I have to print the doc again in order to get rid of the misterious line.
When the line show up seems to be random and not linked to anything in particular, like specifically jpgs or cpts. This doesn't happen everytime, wich makes it difficult to identify wtf may be causing it.
This will explain what's going on:

I have a huge bitmap that i traced using Outline Trace > High Quality Image

I have a strange problem with my Corel X5 since its re-installation due to a re-installation of my Windows 7 system (A problem of internet connexion) :
Usually, I create drawings, saved in .cdr but also in .emf to be used in Winword 2010. But, now, if I save my drawing in .emf, the drawing is planed down on the right & below sides! I mean, the border is slightly "eaten", missing!
The problem is not Word : if I open the .emf file in Paint, the drawing is already planed down! So, it's Corel fault. But why? It's the same Corel as before, my Windows environement is the same (But may be some parameters disapeared with the re-installation of Windows 7?).
By the way, if I save with .wmf format, the two borders (right & below) are "eaten" but less, the thickness of the disapeared border is very small, but it is!!! So, the result is, now, I can't have any of my drawings created with Corel in Word with their entire integrity, since a part, border at the bottom & border on the right side, is missing!
I have drawn two squares. one is 20mm sq and the other is 15mm sq.

How to stop the FILL happening ?????

View 4 Replies View RelatedI understand that Alignment Guides options (Ctrl + J) allow you to change the color of the alignment guides. This does not work for me. I'm wondering if this is a known bug or if there's something else in my set up that would prevent me from substituting the subtle, pale blue for something better. When on the options screen, it looks as if it is accepting the color change; but when I go back to document, there is no change. Furthermore, when I open up the option box again, the same darn pale blue is back with a vengeance!
I think the alignment guides is a great feature, one that could be much more useful to me if I could see them better.
I have recently installed Draw X6 and I was using X5 before. I noticed a default setting has changed for text alignment. In X5, if I selected artistic text that had the property of being left justified, and then if I changed the property to centered or right justified, the text didn't move. In versions previous to X3, and also in X6, the text moves. This is especially frustrating if I want it to remain in place within an object grouping structure.

I want to align an object (i.e a rectangle) for example to be in possition x:15cm and y:12,5cm but concerning the edge of the rectangle (or the right/left side of the rectangle) and NOT the center of it.

I can't allign text to left to meet one straight line.
View 15 Replies View RelatedA few months ago I upgraded my aging office workstation to a powerful new system running Windows 8 Professional. CorelDRAW X5 refused to install under Win 8 Pro so I had to upgrade to CorelDRAW X6.
Here's the issue: for the longest time, at least through 10 or more versions of CorelDRAW, it was very easy to align nodes. Just use the shape tool, manually shift+click nodes into the selection and the last node selected would stay locked in place. The other nodes would use the last node selected as the point of reference and align to it.
That doesn't work anymore in CorelDRAW X6.
Now, it doesn't matter which points were clicked first or last. The alignment function always uses the earliest point created in the path as the reference point. And that's just downright useless. I'm forced to drag out guides and snap the points to them -like I'm using an app released in 1990. It makes tasks like technical drawing more time consuming.
Is there some setting buried in Preferences that can restore this very basic but extremely valuable function?
BTW, rival app Adobe Illustrator had finally added controlled anchor point alignment in version CS3 or CS4 (I forget which), but it was a kludge to use -it required extra clicks on anchor points and wouldn't work half the time. The feature seems to be gone in CS6.

To print business cards, I selected Label AVERY 5371 - 2X 3.5 BusCr. Print preview looks good. There is no any visible alignment problems.
When printing is completed (Linen paper AVERY 5371), there is about 2 millimeters alignment problem for each card. I created my own template and the print is with the same results. The printer I use is Canon MP830 ink jet.
This is a problem that comes from previous versions. When applying a figure using Wrap resource to a Paragraph Text in columns: most of times the basis of the text is not aligned correctly.

I using a data reference/shortcut to properly label an alignment in paperspace. However when I reference the alignment in and apply the labels the aren't the same as the original alignment that I am referencing. Is there a setting where I am supposed to apply a new beginning station.
Also it seems as though the stationing(distance) isn't even matching up 1:1 with the original drawing. For example in the original base drawing my alignment starts at 10+00 with the next PI at 14+76.98, but the stationing on the reference alignment starts at 0+83.33 with the very same PI being labeled as 1+23.08. So the very same distance is 476.98' in the real design and the drawing it's being referenced in, but the stationing of the referenced alignment shows it as 39.75 Units.
I've attached a screen of the beginning of the alignment.

Using Civil 3d2012, Is it possible to change the alignment label style set after the alignment has been created? For example, for an alignment that was created with alignment label set X - change the label set to alignment label set Y? It seems like this should be pretty easy, I must be missing something obvious.

Launching alignment grid view/alignment entities,
I’m wondering if there is a way to launch alignment grid view/alignment entities (attached) without the need to first launching “alignment”? This dialogue box is quite essential in editing the values of radius, degree of curvature and deflection angle for the selected curve.
Can I inherit the station from one alignment as the begin station for another alignment?
For example. Alignment 1 is 1000 ft long and starts at sta 0+00.
At sta 8+01, Alignment 2 begins and goes off in another direction.
I manually enter 8+01 for begin station Alignment 2. Life is good. Still in the design stage, and customer needs to modify Alignment 1 to avoid something. Now Alignment 2 intersects Alignment 1 at sta 8+15, but same N/E coordinates.
I manually enter 8+15 for begin station Alignment 2.
It would be better if Alignment 2 could inherit the begin station based on the new stationing from Alignment 1.
I am currently converting my drawing to PDF. However, certain lines on the drawing are showing up bold and thick when converting.
