CorelDRAW X4 :: Garden Design Using Set Of Objects
Jun 2, 2011
Producing a set of objects that can be used to design a garden? Having just bought some land to extend my garden, I'd like to visualize various layouts and plantings - I would love to be able to design it all in CorelDraw ( pre-drawn plants, trees, fencing, etc) -
I just did a competition that required a garden. Lacking time to fully research Revit options, I ended up creating a topo and cutting paths into it by using building pads for the paths, requiring a lot of tinkering with the topo elevations. This was far from ideal because I wanted to alter things later, but it was just too labor intensive to do that and I ran out of time.
Any (cheap!) program that would work well for this? Something that could export a file that could be linked into Revit?
It would be very nice if a version of "building pad" could be created by Autodesk that would work as a sidewalk/path and that could also have a slope.
Another problem with this was that I had to position all the topo points along the path wall borders at a low elevation because the topo "bled" into the walls as it sloped up from them. Another great thing would be if Revit sidewalk pads could have borders that also "cut" topo.
I am using Revit Architecture 2013 and I have a few different design options for the mian level of a house I am working on. I have the North wall of the house in a design option for the living room at the moment. But I have decided I no longer want that wall in the my living room option, I would like to move it to my kitchen design option so I am able to move a window that is located on that wall. I cannot seem to find a way to move a wall from one design option to another or have it in both if it is already part of a design option. How I can get this wall and the windows located on it into my kitchen design layout without having things being double counted in the schedules?
I worked on a design saving it about every 10 minites and also saving a copy every hour. Later, when I try to open any of the copies of this file, Illustrator gives me this error:
the file opens but most of the objects are gone. I managed to open the file with Adobe Accrobat and saved it as eps then open it in Illustrator but the paths are mess and all effects converted to embeded images.I also placed the file but if I try to edit the link it gives me the same error and when I embedded the link it was a little bit better but similar mess like the eps saved from Acrobat..I'm using Illustrator CS5 Design file Windows 7.
Since upgrading to AutoCAD LT 2011 I cannot use the Design Center for inheriting objects such as layers, blocks etc between drawings. I have a few different drawings open which are displayed in the tree view of the 'open drawings' tab in the Design Center. But the objects of the drawings are not displyed. No +-sign in front of the drawing name, no icons in the icon field, just a summary at thebottom saying '0-items'.
I've tried dragging layers across drawings using the design center interface, but what I've noticed is that while the layer in question gets copied over, the layer is empty. The objects within the layer do not get copied over. How do I copy objects AND layers that I've selected across drawings using Autocad Design Center?
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.
I have created a design with two fonts that I used, but when I open that design now is shows that the 2 fonts are now missing and wants to substitute for another font, I designed the logo about 8 months ago, I have looked in my Fonts folder in Control Panel as well as Font Navigator, but they are not there, this happens a lot with other designs as well.
I am a self thought user of CorelDraw11 and i have been having great fun using it. I now want to move a bit forward into something much more advanced. I want to design a website using CorelDraw11.
My question now is, is it possible to design a website using CorelDraw11?
I must have clicked on something that has caused there to be no color in a design or text. It looks transparent. In the lower right corner it shows to be the correct color and outline but it does not show up on my screen.
I need to be able to take a design that is in outline format such as this for an example:
[URL]
Converting it to an outline is really easy and I have no problems with that. However, I need each individual piece of the design to be separated out as an individual object as certain pieces would get cut out of different materials.
What is the easiest way to convert this design from one big outline design, to individual components?
I use X5 for creating files that can be read by a laser cutter.To combine as much object as possible on the working area i have to import the DXF files and place them.
Now i would like to know if its possible to link a obeject in a DXF auto to that same object in a X5 design.So if it is changed in the DXF it is changed in the X5 as well.
There seems to be another issues with fonts in CorelDraw X6.
I was trying different fonts for a design and for some fonts (at least two), letters (and other characters) were substituted for the preceding letter in the alphabet. For example "b" would become "a", making the text gibberish.
It happened with one Opentype font and with one TrueType font. [URL]
We have Coreldraw graphics suite 12. Our technical department asks if it is possible to draw electrical schema's with the program. Where can I find the necessary electrical symbols ?
I have a quick question corel X5, I have a design made of several .4 inch circles, I wonder if there is a way to resize all the circles to .6 inch ( i am trying to avoid to resize manually each circle )
I am so confused with bleed marks for printers. Here is my example.
I am designing a postcard that is 8.5 x 3.66. I set my page size in the layout section to 8.5 x 3.66. In that layout section it also has a bleed button. I check it and type in .125 in. (what the printer requires.
So it adds a dotted line outside . which i understand. Here is my question. When I save as PDF, only the 8.5x3.66 saves and not the bleed area. I need the printer to see the bleed area. They also want crop marks.
I have to design a billboard that needs to be 8ft by 20ft. What size layout should I design it in? I know I need to make sure my pictures are high resolution so it can be blown up to the proper size, correct?
I have this text on a notepad and I want to make the same design in Corel Draw X6.
I have a few question. Which is the font used there? I tried looking through all the fonts in Corel and noone was the same. Sites like Whatthefont won't answer me correctly because the letters have white line inside.
My second question is this: I need to make the same design, so the white line should be in the letters. How to make that? Is this a font property or do I need to make it by hand? If it isn't a font property, how can I make it?
