CorelDRAW X5 :: Color Palette Causing Crash?
Sep 11, 2013
I am using X5 on a Win 7 64 bit system. I am having an issue with colors that manifests itself in 3 ways: When I try to change a color from rgb or cmyk to PMS, the program freezes and gives the error message that CorelDraw has stopped working. Files that have been created using more than one palette will not open on this system - although they will open fine on other machines running X5. Finally, if I even mouse-over the color palettes tab from the "Windows" drop-down menu the same thing happens.
I have used F8 to reset the workspace and when that did not work, I re-installed Coreldraw with the same result.

So A client hires a designer to create a vehicle wrap. He does it in Photoshop. If you have not done vehicle wraps before you DO NOT DESIGN IN PHOTOSHOP!!! Anyway, he sends me a link to download a psb file. Another bad sign. Means the file is huge! 1 hr to download. I open it in photoshop (at least he left it unflattened) and reduce it down enough to make a psd with layers intact. I then import it into Corel and begin placement into the vector vehicle template. Once I get all the images fiting nicely I hit save. Come back to it the next day and it won't open. Message says a bitmap is not right "Abort, Retry or Ignore" I try the backup file, same error. I try to move a copy to my hard drive instead of working over the network. No go! Try rebooting, no go! Rebuilt the file agian and saved that version to my desktop. Saved successfully, made a couple changes and then CorelDraw crashes and shuts down. Try to reopen the file and same errors occur.

Is there a way to apply a color to selected objects without having to search for the color in the color palette. So say if I am working with an image that has multiple colors but want to use only one of the colors in that image, is there a way to apply it without having to create or add it to the palette.

I am doing simple extrusions in 3D. One or 2 extrusions in a document. Specifically, earrings. I have to save every few steps , because PS is going to crash at least once per hour.
My computer has 12GB RAM, and a 1GB GPU. My MAC is less than a year old. It should be able to handle the workload.
When I'm doing 3D I shut down all other programs on my computer.
I have turned up all the preferences inside PS pertaining to performance.
When I save a document the SAVE time is 3-7 seconds. Each time I hold my breath that it doesn't fail.

I've just got an iPhone 4S and shot a test video to edit. However, when I load it and try to create a file, VS10+ crashes every time within a few seconds.
All I'm doing is trying add a few simple titles with the output file being 'same as project settings' so the output should be mpg4, PAL, 720 x 576. This is the first time I've tried editing iPhone video and I've never had this problem with any stuff that I've edited in the past.

I just set up a new rig (specs below) and everything was going great. I added a second monitor and suddenly PS CS6 starts crashing randomly. I think I discovered that PS will not support a dual monitor config if each monitor is on a different video card.
My main monitor (30" dell) is powered by an ATI Raedeon HD 4850. My secondary monitor (HP Elite L2201x) is powered by the on board Intel HD Graphics 4000 because the display only uses Display Port. Both are supported cards and PS runs fine with either one used independently with or without GPU support.
When I have BOTH connected the Graphics Processor Settings box is greyed out and when I mouse over that section the description box below says "Graphics hardware acceleration is unavailable. You will need to upgrade your video driver and possibly your video card" and the programs crashes randomly. The same behavior occurs regardless of on which monitor PS is being displayed.
I have attempted to tweak BIOS settings to establish a hardware priority so PS would only see one card but to no avail. As this issue prevents me from using my second monitor entirely (I use PS daily), I'd really like to get it resolved.
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K CPU
RAM: 32GB
Boot Drive: OCZ 128GB SSD
OS: Win7 64
Video card details: Current drivers on both
Primary: ATI Radeon HD 4850
Secondary: Intel HD Graphics 4000 (HD4000)

I didn't have any problems with transition effect, but suddenly,some effects, like flip album and the ProDad plugin are causing VS to hang and not respond: flip album is causing the hang just after the automatic preview (can't turn this off) and just clicking on the ProDad plugin is freezing VS. They are also causing the rendering process to hang (turned off smart rendering as well).I've reinstalled the software wituhout SP2 and still the problem persists.No matter what kind of media I insert before or after the transitions, the problem is the same.I assume there is some kind of incompatibilty between VS and some OS/driver update - any way to know for sure?

I'm creating a macro to run on creation of a new assembly from a particular template. I created a macro named autonew in the template's VBA project file. It works great except for one thing: if the user presses "Cancel" on my form, I want to not only unload the form but also close the file. For this case I've used:
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Close True
I've created a test template assembly with only this line in autonew, and it crashes Inventor. The same line of code an a non-autonew module within the template file's VBA project closes the document without error or crashing. I assume this is a bug and not as designed.
Is this a bad way to accomplish the task of closing a newly created assembly? Even if this isn't the preferred approach, I don't think this should cause a crash.
I'm running Inventor 2009 SP1.
I'm running 64 bit on XP64

I want to know if it is possible to creat a script that will rotate the cam wheel show at the pivot point, while causing the rectangle to oscillate up and down in cadence with the ppoint of the whell that is contacting it.
I have a simple script that rotates the cam wheel, but every time I run it, AC crashes. I am on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I have installed the latest service pack. Here is the script:
rotate

I'm not sure what other information you may need to diagnose this, so just let me know. There is no error message given, it just freezes up.

We have a work station with C3D 2013 that has started crashing when trying to open the pipe network vista. We have to edit the pipes using pipe properties for the individual pipes. This makes it difficult when trying to edit a large network. The drawings work fine on other computers. It has something to do with the settings on this machine. What would be causing the crash when trying to open the vista window?

I'm using CorelDRAW X5. When I used version 12 and earlier versions, the color palette displayed on the right side of the screen showed color names. (I think you only saw the name when you selected a color.) Now instead I see only numerical values.
Is there a way to restore color names here? It seems this should be a simple option, like display color values or color names.

After a little while the color palette suddenly became glaringly fluorescent and no amount of rebooting could get my original color palette back. After that I opened the Palette Editor under Tools and fiddled around the Sort button settings there. This changed the order I was seeing the colors in my palette which stayed as fluorescent as ever and the original sequence would not come back no matter what I did. I read up a bit and played around with the Color Management settings-in vain. As a last resort I have uninstalled and installed the program again-to no avail! What should I do? I tried the F8 start as well-that didn't work either.

I am having trouble creating a custom palette in Draw X6. I am trying to import (or create) a palette of a range of threads I use. There are around 300 swatches to create. I had this palette in Illustrator that I created from a CSV file using a script. It is in RGB colors. I need to have the swatch and thread number in the palette.
First, is there a way to convert a csv/xls/txt file into an palette xml file to make the palette automatically as I did in Illustrator?
Second, doing it manually is giving me trouble. I am following the below directions from the manual:
To create a custom color palette from scratch
1. Click Window Dockers Color palette manager.
2. Click the Creates a new empty color palette button.
3. Type a file name in the File name box.
4. Click Save.
5. In the Color palette manager, choose the custom palette that you created.
6. Click the Opens the Palette editor button.
7. In the Palette editor dialog box, click Add color.
8. In the Select color dialog box, choose a color, and click Add to palette.
I've gotten to Step 7, but there's where everything goes badly, When I add a color, the Select Color box comes up, and I choose the Models tab and choose an RGB. All my thread colors are in RGB. I can then input the RGB values in the cvs table, however, when I try to name the color with the thread color number (say "2005 - Petal Yellow"), it changes the RGB values to something else and changes the color in the preview box. It's like there is no way to give the color my own custom name. If I just bypass the naming and try to Add To Palette, it either tells me the color is already in the palette or I can't add any more because I've reached the maximum allowable entries....in a blank new palette file? Any color I choose from any of the pickers, or anything I enter in the value boxes just ends up with an error message.
I've checked the xml file of the new, supposedly blank, palette, and there are no colors or code, so what am I missing? Why can't I just input the color RGB values, name it, and add it? I can use the color picker to add colors to the palette, and after saving, that does show up in the xml file, but I don't have a document of color swatches, only a CSV. There's got to be a better way then making all the swatches in Draw, and also using the color picker on each one to make the palette.

I use CDR X4 and a Roland VS printer with versaworks as my RIP. In Corel, I have my color palette set up to the right as RVW but when I go to use gradients or fills, the color options are Corel. I end up having to edit the color palette to RVW every time. Is there a way to change this setting so when I go to use fills etc., RVW color palette is first to appear ?

I am trying to set up my CorelDraw x6 workspace so that the default spot color palette is set to Pantone solid coated.
I go to:Tools > Options (or Customization) > Global > Color > set "Default spot color palette" to "PANTONE solid coated"
Unfortunately this seems to be ignored by x6.
Every time i want to change from a CMYK color to Pantone i must do the following:
1) select the objec
t2) double click the color chip adjacent to the Fill icon in the Status Bar
3) which brings up:
4) from here I select the Palettes tab (if it is not already selected)5) then select from the Palette drop down menu:SPOT > PANTONE > PANTONE+ > Solid Coated
This is a very clumsy and inefficient way to work as I must do this EVERY time I want to change from CMYK to Pantone.Is there any way to get x6 to operate correctly or is there something I am missing?

The new color management system in CorelDraw X5. When I enable color management (only option is Microsoft ICM) in the Default Color Settings (under conversion settings) I get unfavorable results when converting a RGB to CMYK bitmap - it darkens and adds too much reflex color. When I disable the Color Conversion the bitmaps convert correctly, but the palette (and vector objects in the design) become reflex RGB.
Any generic prepress setting I can use that does not shift colours between RGB and CMYK bitmaps, and that displays the palette more accurately.
My current profile settings are:
RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK: US Web Coated SWOP V2
Grayscale: Dot Gain 15%

I have both Corel 12 and X5. A few years ago a friend of mine installed a custom color palette in my C12 that was matched to the Federal Standard 595 color system.
When I move the cursor over each color in the palette, it displays the FS number assigned to each color (ie. FS35237, FS37038, etc.)
I recently installed the same color palette into X5. However, when I move the cursor over each color, it displays the RGB color ratios for each color. If I open the palette and click on the 'display names' option, it shows the FS number for each color but reverts back to the RGB ratio when the palette is minimized to the right of my screen (I hope that makes sense).
How can I get the FS numbers to display when I move the cursor over the colors?

My CMYK palette is the same hue as my RGB palette right now. I guess you know the difference. RGB looks bright and high in contrast like the ones used in Microsoft word. And the cmyk is, not the bright... Anyway, so the problem is...its the same color on my monitor. Its looks all RGB. On my other PC-2, its the other way around. My RGB palette looks like CMYK. Its not much of a problem with my PC-2 because i rarely use it for photo editing. Its just use for our cutting machine, the other one, my PC-1..
What's going on because it where i do most of my designs. And the color is a major factor there because most of our clients usually send their design to email and they have specific color. So, im having trouble doing designs. Is there a problem with my monitor? I tried editing my files on PC-2 but if i transfer it to PC-1 the color is different again... I cant get the exact (almost) color i want. The adobe gamma isn't do much either nor the monitor adjustment. Do i need to get a professional calibrator for all my PCs or are there downloadable calibrator on the internet? I was about to try the one about CorelDraw 12 Color Management guide but im still not sure about it. I have to read the infos first.
Here's from my PC-1. To the left is the CMYK and on the right is the RGB
Now here is from my PC-2. Left is CMYK and right is RGB.
When viewed from my PC-2..this one looks all CMYK (and dull)

I have recently installed X4 after using X3 for a number of years, and it was working fine until suddenly the color pallet has changed to harsh very bright almost unreal RGB-like colours. It is distorting all my work as I cannot see real colours, especially in Photopaint, so impossible to color edit.

In previous versions of CorelDraw, I could set the default color palette for the fountain fill. But in X6 it doesn't seem to hold. Especially for the second color. It keeps going back to CMYK (even when color management is set to RGB) and when I click on palettes in the fountain fill box, it defaults to Pantone, so that I must click through many options to get back to my palette.

Something strange happened today when I was working on a cdr project. I think I have by mistake somehow managed to completely delete the original rgb palette, copied the cmyk palette and saved it as "rgb" palette. As a result if I try to change the color palette, the rgb and the cmyk options are exactly the same palettes.
This happened whilst I was working on a cdr drawing. Somehow I managed to press a wrong key combination whilst trying to save (probably CTRL-something and then CTRL-S immediately after) and noticed that the colors on my drawing changed. I tried to undo, but nothing happened.
After some checking I realized that the original rgb color palette has been replaced with a copy of cmyk. If I now try to switch color palettes, the cmyk and the rgb are exactly the same palettes regardless of which cdr project I open (new or saved).
This is how I tried to fix the issue:
I tried F8 during startup - no change
I tried with the repair option of the installation cd - no change
I tried a removal and a new installation of the Suite - no change.
Could be worth a try: Maybe someone could send me a copy of their rgbstd.cpl-file so that I could replace mine in the C:Program Files (x86)CorelCorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4LanguagesENProgramsData
How to restore the rgb color palette to it's original status as I work mainly with drawings displayed on the net, not on printed materials and I'm getting desperate as I have a deadline tomorrow.

The appearance is totally change what i mean is possibly the brightness. Every single color in the color palette change and become a shocking color. But when i print it, they got printed normally as usual. i can't see the true color i want to use in my design. They're all become a really shocking color and too bright than they supposed to be :[URL]
