I am using Corel Draw X4. I have made a rectangle with a solid color and then added more colors using mesh fill. Now I want to use this rectangle as a Power clip Container for some vector images I have created separately. I am unable to do so!

It seems like a combination of fountain fill and powerclip?
When working in Draw X6, usually on a Mesh Fill, when I go to a menu it is blacked out. I have to close and reload Corel to get to a normal screen. I've also experienced unexpected crashes when I work with the mesh tool. In addition, I'm needing to reload pages with Firefox. I use Win XP, it's the easiest to customize for my low vision. My spell check has stopped working.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNever did anything with mesh fill till today. Did some reading on it here over the past few days and did a drawing using only mesh fills, 1 for subject and 1 for background. I spent about 2 hours on it. I'm calling it "Lumpy-Bottle"
Is there a good way to assign grid node coordinates, other then free hand(I couldn't find a display for node coordinates) . Could you use a cad program, that displays a numeric coordinate for nodes to do the bulk of the grid work and tune it up or add different elements to cad drawing or use cad to do this type of drawing. I have a copy of "Turbo Cad" I have not used yet and was wondering how the different programs compared? I was trying to use the drawing grid guide, but the mesh fill grid lays on top of it and is opaque and and I couldn't use it well inside the mesh fill. I guess I could draw a transparent grid guide and lay it on top of the mesh fill, in a separate layer and lock it down
Is there some kind of guide or document on color placement and the relationship to grid line spacing, node placement and node handle angle and length.
I have discovered the Mesh Fill tool. I am having a lot fun playing around with it but can't seem to apply it to text.I have converted the text to curves but it just acts as a fill. Is there a way to use the Mesh Fill on Text?
View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to make the mesh fill grid black instead of white? It seems like it use to be black, but now it's white.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm just starting a new project. I've started the skin with a mesh fill. I'm wondering, what is the best way to handle the facial features. Vector blends etc or more individual mesh fills. If I do individual vector objects, what's the best way to blend features with the mesh skin?
Below you can see what I have so far.

In X5 when converting a cmyk meshfill to cmyk bitmap there is often an unacceptable shift in colour.
The only workaround I have found to maintain cmyk values is to export mesh fill as pdf and then save as bitmap in Acrobat.
Does same behaviour occurs in X6? Sample file attached.

1. First question: I need to apply Mesh Fill effect to a circular vector (ring) which was built with the Combine command (Ctrl + L), but Mesh Fill is not allowed for objects combined. Is there any alternative for this?
2. Second question: How to make that mesh nodes has the circular shape of the figure (in this case, a ring)?(By clicking on the object, it creates a mesh grid and edit the nodes to obtain a circular form is very laborious and the result is not satisfactory).
to get a power clip to work. I have tried:
bring the vector in front of the jpg
make sure the vector is converted to curves
check the text (F8)
And still when I put the jpg into the container, it disappears. it has nothing to do with Windows 8!
I've got some problems with Powerclip. When I select a bitmap to powerclip it into a shape, such as a rectangle, the bitmap disappears while the shape remains white. I can remove the bitmap from the shape, whereupon it reappears again.. This is incredibly frustrating. Does Powerclip not work with X5 home and student edition or am I doing something fundamentally wrong? I have a PC running Windows 7 64bit.

I created a vector design in Corel X6 using a vector powerclip in the design. I would like to be able to export it as EPS and AI but when I do this and view it. the powerclip portion of the image separates from container. The power clipped image is just sitting on top of the image that it was clipped to. Is there a work around for this? I want to keep my image intact.
Powerclip some vector shapes into a rectangle and use the effect > perspective.
Seems powerclipped shapes inside stay in original position.
I inserted a picture in a square using powerclip; I also used some lens effects inside the frame; then when I wanted to edit, the program froze my pc completely, not just Corel but also windows.
I am running a 64-bit windows 7, Inter Core i7, 6 Gb RAM.
in X6, once you remove the contents from the power clip shape, how to you remove the powerclip attributes so that the X no longer appears in the shape? What the heck am I missing? What setting? Where?
View 5 Replies View RelatedEditing Powerclip contents is verryy slow.
May be because of corelDraw X6 now has a unique feature of showing contents outside the powerclip. Am I right?
What if I want to switch off this excellent feature or how to make this fast as it was always.
The problem in Coreldraw x6 is that when I move an object placed on a box powerclips, the movement is very slow and not fluid. There should be some option to avoid this problem. In Corel x4 this defect was not present.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an image inside PowerClip. Every time I move the image a bit and stop editing the contents I notice that the earlier PowerClip area has left marks in the image. Actually it has cut a 1 pix line permanently on it.
I'm not sure if this happens only when editing PowerClips originally made with X5-version.
A bit annoying problem anyway. It basically destroyed all the images I used in a project...
I am using X4 for use in my dye sublimation business. I have an image that was provided to me from my customer. I created a template in Coreldraw, sized the photo to fit and power clipped it into the template. I than created the text the customer wanted and placed it over the image. I than grouped everything together and printed the image. When it prints, the only thing that prints is the template border and the text. I than took the same template and text and power clipped a completely different image into it. Sent it to the printer and voila, no problem.
The image the customer sent to me is a .jpg image. I don't understand why it won't print. Is it possible there is some sort of code or something within the image that is preventing it from printing ? It sounds far fetched to me but I had to ask. If I export the completed image as seen on the screen to a Jpeg and view it on the screen, the powerclipped background is there.
With X6 if I extract the contents an object still shows up as a Powerclip. How can I get X6 to stop treating it as a powerclip?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this problem, but when I place one shape inside another and try to apply transparency to the powerclip, the transparency only affects the original outside object. In addition, only the outer objects fill is affected, and not it's outline. The following image should explain this better.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHaving problems with Power Clip "Place inside Container". When I use this effect for some reason the object I select to place inside automatically centers itself inside object.
How do I stop this from happening....is there a way to edit the settings?
When you extract everything from a powerclip, the object that was the powerclip retains it's powerclip state. The biggest problem is when it no longer has any contents, that big X appears across the object to show that it's an empty powerclip. OK, I can deal with that or ignore it, but the problem is, the thing acts like it's part of the object as far as printing goes, and that I can't have. This can't be the way it was originally intended to work? Shouldn't it be just an on-screen indicator, and not a physical part of the object now? I know I can revert the object back to a "normal" object, but it seems to be just another useless step that shouldn't be needed.
What I'd like to see is an option that when a powerclip no longer has any objects inside, it automatically reverts to a normal object like in previous versions of Draw. Of course, it's too late now, that will never happen. If anything, it should be possible to have the empty powerclip X indicator be changed over to a "phantom" object that is only shown on screen and doesn't exist in any other way so that it doesn't print or otherwise effect the drawing.
Great, it shows up in PDFs too. Looks like I'll have to get used to hitting that "No Frame" button every time I hit the "Extract Contents" button. Or maybe I'll write a macro to do both and link it to a toolbar button. Reminds me of a post I made about Corel Script in version 6 (yes, six, not sixteen) where it allowed us to write our own "feature" fixes when options were removed for no good reason.
When 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:
This is the jpg:
This is the final work:
This is what is printed, note the line on the jpg's top border:
Ok, I didn't actually use PowerClip in that, but it illustrates the point. For some reason the colors f up tho.
It's X5 on a Windows XP computer.
Is there a way to resize a powerclip container that keeps the contents at its original size - so you can view more or less of the contents simply by changing the shape of the container?
(Rather than editing the contents or extracting the contents and then resizing the container).
Is this possible to hide the ghost display which is not in x5. This is confuses me often.

I am creating a CMYK document. After converting a reference photo to CMYK I imported it into my DRAW file. I will use that to pick colors.
The problem: the eyedropper tools work correctly capturing CMYK colors as long as it is not in a powerclip. If I place that image in a powerclip the eyedropper tool only sees RGB.
Is there a setting somewhere that I need to make or am I stuck just working outside of the Powerclip? I have plenty of alternative ways to workaround this issue, just didn't know if this was a bug or something.
CORRECTION: It's not the Powerclip at all. It has to do with whether or not I have the layer locked. Unlocked = CMYK, locked=RGB. ?
Also, changing the Edit Across Layers setting seems to be a problem as well.
I have manage to do a "find and replace" text no problems. However it cannot see that i have text inside a power clip. is there a way to find and replace text in power clip? also look at all pages at the same time? rather than per page?
