CorelDRAW X5 :: Convert Text To Single Pass Vector?
Jan 8, 2012
Have been making stuff in corel x5 for a cnc. I recently added text to a design, and the text appears to be a solid, single path. However, when I run my machine, the machine goes around the BORDER of the text, instead of just making a single pass over the text. Instead of just cutting the text in one path, it cuts around the border and the pieces fall from the material I am working on.
How can I change this? I dont want my machine to pass around the inside and outside of simple text, I only need 1 pass.
I would like to convert a jpg image into a vector is that possible? I have search for tutorials on the net but have yet to find anything suitable. Below are the two images I would like to convert into vector to use as website logo.
I create vector drawings in Microsoft Office Visio and I need to be able to convert raster images from PDFs into vector images compatible with Visio. I've tried tracing the bitmap with various options but the line quality produced when saved to a .svg file is not adequate for our needs. Images from a PDF that are not embedded work perfectly by saving to a .svg file, but the bitmap comes in as one unusable entity. Simply put, can X6 convert embedded bitmaps from within PDFs into vector files?
I have tried to no avail but how on earth do i shape a word into this shape. with the straight line on the top and pointed on the bottom. trying to convert this to vector.
Can you download a Google Docs Drawing file as a file.svg type And then import it to CorelDraw and convert it to a bunch of CorelDraw vector based lines that can be modified like any other CorelDraw line drawing?
BTW, this is a drawing of a character and is simply b&w lines & shapes on a white background.Line widths vary in the original and we want to be able to modify them even more using all the tools in CorelDraw.
I was able to open the .svg file with CorelDraw but when attempting to 'Edit' a line in the drawing I couldn't change the line width... so it isn't behaving like a CorelDraw vector drawing.
Several times a week I need to take a PDF (single-page doc), then convertto a page-sized PNG with quality good enough to read the text (and atransparent border), and then convert to a SWF. I have a PNG-to-SWFutility, but when I used it on the PNG saved after I opened my PDF andexported from GIMP, the end result was not good enough. A co-worker saidGIMP couldn't make a PNG (w/transparency) with enough quality. He said we'dhave to use some other software. Part of the issue was not being able toresize without losing quality before the PNG export. True or false?
We have an employee in our office that is kind of old school in some ways. That person has a habit of exploding everything possible in a drawing. Most of us create notations using mtext so it's easy to edit and manipulate. Is there a way to convert the single line text back to multiline after it's exploded?
I am having trouble doing this in my current software, Serif Drawplus, PSE, Photoplus, (I have Gimp but haven't used it ever yet). And I am considering buying X6 for use in other projects. So, can x6 do this in either Photo Paint with a bitmap, or in X6 with a group of Vectors?
I want to wrap a bottle with a logo. The mesh warps aren't working for me in the above applications, and envelope warping will not work either. Transform-Warp is not present in PSE. I mention that because I see a tutorial for PS using that. How would Corel X6 Suite do this? I am considering buying the software once some questions I have about it are cleared up. I wish Corel would make the manual and tutorial videos public. I'd rather download the trial for actually using it rather than trying to see if some feature is present, or a workaround for a feature a competitor has.
I am also hoping to make in this project, some 10-20 different bottles with the logo on, of different sized bottles and different rotations of the bottles. Plan D is acquainting myself with Blender, but lets hope I don't have to go that far!
On using macro for "Convert to curves all text" the Page Number used with Insert Page Number in Coreldraw x6.4 is not converting it but it remove the page number.
I have long used the following lisp to convert multiple single text objects into multiple mtext objects (i.e. make each text entity into separate mtext entities).
; T2M - convert individual Texts/Dtexts to individual MTexts ; modified by Xanadu - www.xanadu.cz ; (defun C:T2M (/ ss i elist)
[Code]....
However, the mtext entity always moves position slightly (compared to the original text entity) after converting the object. better lisp that converts multiple text entities into mtext entities (which are all separate still, i.e. not joined together) without the position of the entity changing?
We are trying to convert some text to a Hindi font a translator sent us. It is installed correctly on PC and shows up in Corel X5. When you convert it, it says it is the correct font in object mangar but appears a row of boxes? The font is Kruti Dev 010.
I have designed a very large document (a magazine) in Corel Draw 11 with text, drawings and photos. I started converting the text to curves but there's a couple of text columns that disappear when I do so !
When I select text I can't apply any changes to it until I convert to curves. I have tried selecting using the select tool and text tool - neither makes a difference until I convert to curves the everything is available
So I am basically a brand new user to ai-cs6 and have been working on a project for a friend. I've drawn up the basic components of the logo she wants, all separate individual pieces. My intention is/was to trace in each piece, and scale, rotate, and clean them up according to how the final piece should look. Where I'm running into trouble is that the sketches are not point perfect, meaning there's some shading in the hand drawn, and the lines are rough in areas. I'm trying to avoid redrawing the pieces because we both are really happy with where they're at.
What I'd like to do with ai-cs6. How to trace very simply a one line vector of the outline of the image. So instead of creating a piece that has stroke straight from the scanned in artwork, I get a single line, with multiple points, that flows the simple shape of the piece. From there it seems it would be pretty simple to just increase the stroke weight and modify the style of line to make it look how we would like. except that since the sketch has some rough line sections ai-cs6 is adding either a lot of detail and making it look pretty rough, or it's missing entire sections and leaving them blank.
We produce a number of A5 publications and the need has arisen for me to produce each page of each publication as a jpeg (can't be anything else) for web publication.
As I see it my current options are:
1. During the PDF'ing process from InDesign we produce an individual PDF per page (usually 40 pages per publication and 4 publications) and then batch convert them in PS.
2. We create jpegs from a 40 page PDF, one at a time.
Both are rediculously tedious and time consuming, and we would have to pass this cost onto the customer which I am loathe to do.
I am therefore wandering whether there is a way in PS to set up a batch process where it will open the pdf 40 times, incrementing by 1 page each time and saving that page as a jpeg.
Alternatively, there may be away that I can produce 40 individual PDF's in one process using Acrobat Pro/InDesign, and then do the batch process in PS.
Both my printer and his own designers and myself have drawn a blank really,
I am attempting to apply multiple textures to a garage (both inside and outside). I have been able to create two separate uvw templates for the inside and outside using an editable mesh but the textured templates are not being applied to the model correctly. how can I detach the editable mesh to form separate objects?
In illustrator i design some artwork and now the total layers are about several hundreads. so now i'm about to combine all those artowrk layers in one layer, so that it will be a nice clean file with text layers that are to edit and one single artwork background layer.
I have a Photoshop CS6 document with 20-some adjustment layers and would like to be able to apply their effect to multiple image files. I'm looking for a way to convert the series of adjustment layers into a single action so that I can batch process a set of images. Can this be done?
Unless I'm missing something, it appears that no trivial solution exisits. For example, there's no option that allows for selecting the adjustment layers, right clicking them, and choosing 'convert to action.' What I want to avoid is having to redo each adjustment layer just for the sake of recording an action.
Also, I understand that I can always "place" (i.e. drag and drop) the image requiring processing into the Photoshop document containing the adjustment layers, saving a merged copy as jpeg, and repeat... but such a manual method would border on insulting to this prowess of a program.
Any method of recording an action that can make use of the document with the adjustment layers and a variable document that will be passed through during the batch process.
I have a series of Autocad Objects (3D faces). I need to turn the contiguous group of them into a SINGLE Autocad surface. I know next to nothing about vanilla autocad and 3D stuff. Seems there must be a way to make a surface out of objects. I would then use this resulting surface to carve a solid. DWG with 3D faces in it attached.
