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.
View 4 Repliesto 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 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.
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!
View 8 Replies View Relatedin 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.

When we try to crop a PowerClip object with a rectangle or any other shape X5 just crashes.
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWondering if there is a way to revert a powerclip frame back into an object (vector path).
If there is no feature I would like to request that in the next "upgrade" of CorelDraw. As it is now I am forced to use time consuming workarounds to complete my illustrations when they are ready for production.
What was the reason to get rid of the usual powerclipping such as it was in X5?
Is there a way to turn off the auto-insert into Power clip feature (nuisance)?
I know I can hold down the "F" key to ignore, but seriously, this is a pain in the neck. Yes, I use Power clips extensively, but I need to control them instead of them controlling me.
Is there any solution, as powerclip is consuming much time to come out of.... and also note that it is having many objects inside the powerclip. It should not act like a normal object, consumes much memory and time
View 3 Replies View RelatedI found a bug on X6 and not sure if it was there before the update. I have a Power Clip frame that contains 2 images.
The one to the right is smaller than the frame while the one on the left is much bigger and there is a blank space between them. When I export the image to a PSD file the bigger image inside the frame wraps around and a portion is displayed on the right.
I am just newly figuring out that I can complete repetitive tasks by recording a macro, simple right? I am trying to power clip an imported image into a shape via macro but it is not working.. I am getting Run-Time error's... Parameter Index is out of range.
I have one "shape" and 25 different car logo's I am needing to power clip the logo inside the shape with the click of the "macro" and it is just NOT WORKING! I understand that I can complete the task at hand by simply creating 25 bitmaps, one with each logo then simply importing that into my document, but I need to figure this Macro for this out because it will become more complex and time consuming as time goes on and I add more logos and different shapes in which I need to power clip them into. I simply understand that I can hit the "RECORD" button, do what needs done and then hit stop.. then of course do this again later by playing the macro.
I'm having an issue with PowerClip I never used to have in X3 (the last version I was able to afford).Basically, some small details in a graphic keep getting irreversibly lost due to PowerClip... I'm tracing over a drawing I scanned, and placing small details inside larger objects to keep my workspace clean. What's going on is, as I get to work on, say adding blends and gradients to a different part of my graphic, the next time I zoom out I notice the details I placed inside a container I wasn't currently working on are suddenly gone; They're not in the wireframe view for either the full image or within the container, and have simply vanished from the container, as though I never even made them. I make sure outlines are always converted to objects before I put them in a container, but I can't imagine it matters..PowerClip is one of my most-used tools and it'll really limit my abilities if I can't rely on it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to see the guidelines when working in a PowerClip that has a background image?
If not, is this a bug, an oversight of the Corel developers, or is it a new feature?
I just upgraded to X6 (32bit on vista). I use the powerclip feature a lot and have noticed that when I open a graphic I put together in a previous version (usually X5), if I have an object that has a powerclip and I extract the contents and delete them just to leave the original shape (that was the container). That shape that's left has an 'X' across it that I can't get rid of? I can even see it in the wireframe view. I tried the virtual segment delete tool to try to eliminate the lines but it didn't seem to do anything.
