I want to use symbols in a drawing like those little electronic symbols. I have added the extras from the DVD that came with the package but cannot find the symbols or get them to appear in my drawing.
I go to the symbol manager and it has some file folders but they are empty. I try to use the little disk symbol to navigate to the library content on the DVD but it does nothing when I click on it.
In the iProperties, in the Mass properties are the coordinates of the center of gravity. i guess they relate to the center point and axes in the main origin folder, right?
How can i show and measure from the genter of gravity symbol in parts and drawings?
I'm having trouble with Draw X4 now that I have moved on to Windows 7 64 bit.
When I try to insert a symbol from my user symbols, I get the message that the program has stopped working.
I have tried chaging the compatibilty but that hasn't worked.
Why can only symbol fonts be used for bullets in X6?
Almost every font has at least the simple bullet (0x95) and the middot (0xB7) included. And there are many non-symbol-fonts out there that contain interesting bullet-like characters.Why the restriction? For a more compact selection list? Corel, could we have a checkbox "[X] Symbol fonts only " to uncheck if one wants to choose from all installed fonts?
s there a way to make patterns (repeat symbol) along paths? Something like using Artistic Media > Brush, but I'd like it to repeat symbol. It's possible and simple in illustrator, but in work I have to use Corel Draw.I need to make something like that: [URL] ..... can't use line style, because the pattern is too complex. Those symbols have to be smooth, so Foster's solution isn't that good...

I have trouble working with transparencies inside a symbol. It also does not work if it is power-clipped inside a symbol. The error message is as follows:
This item cannot be stored inside a Symbol. The item must be removed in order to be able to finish editing this symbol.
this same procedure works in Corel X4.
Just installed X6. However, even though I installed Symbols and Objects from the content install, symbol manager does not see the symbols library on my hard drive. I guess it expects me to add a library, but where this symbols library is. Am I supposed to install the entire content package (I really don't want to clutter my hard drive with thousands of unwanted images) in order for symbol manager to be able to automatically find where the symbols are?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a symbol in CorelDraw X5 on a Mac using parallels.
The symbol is on a layer which is not locked, and the object which has become a symbol was grouped before I made it into a symbol. The boundary marks changed from black to blue.When I try to select Edit/Symbol/Break link, the Break link command is greyed out.

My symbol manager doesn't work in CorelDRAW X5.
I open the symbol manager and click on local or network symbols, add library and go to c: users/public/ public documents/ Corel/ CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5/ extras/ content/ clipart and click on any of the folders or files and then click on "ok" and I get absolutely nothing.
Nothing appears in the symbol preview at anytime. I think I am doing this according to the instructions. I know the clip art is there because I can navigate to it through windows and open them.
I uninstalled, re-installed, and updated it.
if you can type the alpha symbol for angle in Coreldraw.

I am tryng to create a nautical letter Y symbol. It is a yellow square with red diagonal lines inside it.
I have started with a yellow square then created red lines above and then tried every permutation of the Shape tool, but I cannot crop the red lines to fit inside the boundaries of the yellow square. I have tried with the yellow square on top and under the red lines, but every one of the shape tools seems to either cut a shape out of the yellow square or cut the middle out of the red lines instead of cutting the red lines off around the inner edge of the yellow square. (I hope I am making myself understood). I don't want to have to shape each line individually to fit within the boundaries of the yellow square.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe attached picture is me trying to balloon a part. I would like to just add some notes to the balloon so that I can update them manually but all I can find is to have a symbol. So I created a symbol, the insertion point for the symbol is shown. For some reason I get an extra number and the symbol offcenter. Why is this happening? What I'm really looking for is a balloon that is fully customizable so that I can just add text to the top and bottom and fill out the details.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to edit the text in a symbol instance without breaking the link to the symbol?
a really simplen example would be several instances of the same button graphic but with different labels.
I know these things are possible in Fireworks, but couldn't find a way to make it happen in Illustrator.
Is there a way to "eval" or dynamically set a symbol name that has been parsed from XML to build a symbol path? For example, I'm trying to dynamically set a variable to the path of a sysmbol already on the stage, but it's not working correctly:
var xmlSymName = $('symName', this).text(); // where symName = "sym4" from a parsed XML node
var whatPOI = sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("sym1").getSymbol("sym2").getSymbol("sym3").getSymbol(xmlSymName).getSymbolElement();
Basically I have a lot of points on a map and I'd like to be able to name the points along with other data like tooltip callouts, etc populated via XML then loop through the XML to build the points of interest on the map. If I can get the above working I can place that variable path reference into an array and grab the data from it later. But the path is not working the way I have it.
Can I call a symbol from the symbol panel and place it on the stage?

I have a big problem exporting my drawings to any type of file. In this example i tried to export a square without a pen-width.
No matter what i tried, i can not export it in the size i want to. Is this a bug? or a setting i have to adjust?
How can i open drawings i made using autoCAD with CorelDRAW? But with keeping the same scale of my original drawings.
By the way i am new to AutoCAD and CorelDRAW
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'm having a terrible time trying to export drawings out of X6 as EPS. Every time I do the program crashes and on many occasions corrupts the CDR file I'm working on.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using ACAD LT 2008.
When i try to copy paste some drawing entities from a heavy drawing file to any other file, the program blocks and says 'not responding', endlessly. So i always have to shutdown the program. I experience the same problem using the designcenter: when I try to copy a layout into another drawing, my computer gets stuck.
Another annoying problem with these files is that they are so heavy, while in fact they shouldn't be. I tried the aectoacad file command. In result the file id half as big, but after I open it and save it, again is the original size.
Every now and then I go back and try to use publish to speed up printing but I always go back to plotting one by one.
I work in a housing construction office and I have 10 separate drawings side by side in model space for house plans that I need plot separate to give to certain people. My problem isn't that I can't publish them separately its that I can't save them over existing pdf's individually predetermined.
Q1. do i just have to go through and change every layout name before or after i publish?
Q2. how do i change the output publish location?
Q3. can each layout be saved to a different existing pdf and remember it?
Q3. can i save these setting across to a new drawing?
