CorelDRAW X5 :: How To Export CDR Files To DXF Or DWG
Jul 8, 2011
we use CorelDraw X5 to make cartographies on building plans with several layers of - mostly - polylines drawings (one layer = one building material type or one weathering form type) and we must give them back to architects who use AutoCAD.
We already tried several times to export the .cdr to .dxf or .dwg files, but till now, the architect seems to be able to open the files, but our cartographie is quite illegible: only some parts of the layers are visible and it seems that some layers are not visible at all...
I was asked to make a big banner 525cm x 250cm. After completing it in few minutes I tried publishing it to pdf but i constantly get an empty white pdf file.After few tests i figured out that I can correctly publish any file that is smaller than 500cm but anything above gives me an empty pdf.
I had a road map drawing in Draw X3, mostly lines and text, and used to export to pdf for smartfphone compatibility, getting typically an adequate quality 204 kB file using "export for editing" export setting. After upgrading to Draw X5 the same file gives a 1508 kB pdf file which is too large. If the export setting is turned back to "web" I get a small 40 kB file but the quality is not so good. How do I compromise between "web" and "edit" settings for exporting to pdf.
I'm using Coral Draw X5 and Sign Cut Pro with a Vinyl plotter and Im trying to import files into X5 and export them to Sign Cut. Which file formats should should I be using?
When I export a jpg file from my laptop with windows 7, the file has a lock on it. I don't have the drawing locked but the file shows up locked when I try to email or view and the clarity of the jpg is fuzzy. I don't have this problem when working on my computer with windows xp. Also when the jpg is locked, it does not read on my mobile phone. What do I have set wrong?
Also on my XP computer when exporting the page is black but exports fine. I would rather see the file I am exporting, I have looked at all the settings but don't see why this is happening.
I just purchased and installed X5 on my Win 7 Pro system. I work with large files (8-10MB) using multiple OLE linked CDR files and bitmaps. When I export to PDF using the built-in exporter, most of the OLE files do not print and the ones that do are corrupted. I have made a work around using doPDF V7, but believe this should work out of the box.
Is there any way for CorelDraw X6 to export very large TIFF files? e.g. greater than 30,000 pixels in each dimension? I am currently running X5 on XP 32-bit and it cannot seem to handle it, even though Photo-Paint appears to have the ability.I finally manage to get our IT guys to give me a Win7 64-bit test machine for me to trial X6 64-bit, but seems to only do marginally better than my X5 installation. The test machine already has 7GB RAM installed plus a very, very large drive.I also had to run the same test on Adobe Illustrator and it was able to deal with this very quickly and smoothly, no troubles at all.You may find it hard to believe, but I actually like using CorelDraw :-), which is so far the standard package for our company, but if I cannot get X6 doing what we want, I'm afraid it's the end of the line.
I started this exercise off using New from the File menu and then Imported a .png photo. I then feathered out the edges of the photo.
Now I have spent many, many attempts to try and Export this photo (in Corel Photo Paint) as a new .png file so that I can then use it later with other packages e.g. with the hopeful intention of it having a completely transparent background for use with say Power Point. I want the ability to take the new image with a transparent background and place it over an existing background in say PP so that the background "bleeds through" the feathered edges. What is happening is, the feathered edges that I created are no longer transparent when the image gets exported out of Corel Photo Paint as a .png file. They show up as a white glow. I was successful if I followed the steps as given by "Hunter" but I had to create the image wholly in Corel Draw using the transparency tool which does not seem to allow for feathering of the edges of an image. The only way I can see to feather the edges is by using Corel Photo Paint but then I don't get them transparent when I export the file. If I was to create an image with say a circular hole in the middle of it with NO FEATHERING ...sharp edges, all would be fine.
why (sometimes) when I export text or graphics as .eps files to my cutter it cuts the same outline up to four to five times and ends up cutting right through the backing paper. I have been using postcut with various corel editions since 1997 with no problems until recently. It also cuts random lines through lines of text which is such an expensive pain in the ass.
I started to use the production manager in flexi sign to cut my designs and same thing happens, except for the random lines but it will make up to five cuts on some objects. All text and graphics are exported the same. Has something in corel newer versions changed in relation to this?
Client supplies me with word document, I make a PDF from it and then from Acrobat create an ESP file, this is done as an eps file is much less likely to cause probs then importing a PDF, I then print from the Coreldraw file with the EPS pages no problem. The problem then arises when I have to then create a PDF file from COreldraw for the client - any EPS files in the document do not appear in the PDF - so there lies the problem.I cannot alway directly import a PDF file (often screws up) even if I save fonts as outlines. Saving as EPS overcomes most/all issues.
Will Corel6 (or later) ever be able to export to a web page directly since the HTLM export doesn't work (drops links). The Corel Web program, or what ever its name is, was a joke. Its amazing that Corel work puts its name on a program that you could not open a CorelDraw file.
My current work around is to export to a JPG and then import that into dreamweaver and add the links there, then post. A pain but it works.
If I run the action on one file, it works perfect. If I try to run it as a batch, it creates the bmp files fine. But it also creates either a .ai file, or two .eps files!
Writing one or two extra files signifiantly shows the process down.
After I run the batch it is not hard to simply delete the extra .eps/ai files of course.
But writing those files seriously slows the process down, and I have about 89,000 more files to go.
When I try to export retouched files to hard drive files my Mac crashes and has to be force quitted. I thought this maybe a L'room 4 problem so I bought L'room 5 and it's still happening. What can I do?
When trying to export RAW files to TIF files I get following Warning message:
Unable to Export:
An internal error has occured: Win32 API error 2 ("The system cannot find the file specified.") when calling ShellExecuteExW from AgWorkspace.shellExecute.
This happpens in LR 4 and I never had this problem in previuos version.
Resetting the User Setting with the the F8 key didn't solve the problem. Once the user gets caught up on a couple projects I'll try to update the version to SP3 and the hotfix.
It goes like this: I have poster created in Corel X6 home & student version. I try to Export it to JPG or GIF but the Corel just Shuts down. Before it shuts down there appears a statement about their failure and question if I want save it and close program and two other options.
As I am corelian, i am using corel for emailer also, its great but sometimes only facing problem while exporting object for web i.e. suppose I require 650px of jpg or png image size and i put the same value but output image was not the same size it might be 647px or 648px and sometimes it give me thin white line either side of the image (left or right). it created problem in emailer's layout so i have to export it in larger size e.g 670px and then open into photoshop and resize into 650px.
We just upgraded from Corel X4 to X6. When exporting a file into tiff in X6 , some images are creating extra lines that run into space. The images are made form cgm files, have not the best quality and relative old but in X4 I never had a problem with that.2678.test_c_drw_000_X4.tif4722.test_c_drw_000_x6.tif
Any new setting that needs to be on or off ?
I noticed that in X4 there is an option to apply ICC profile which I can't find in X6.Does this influence this?
I am trying to export my corel draw x6 file as a dxf or dwg file to import into sketchup. When I do this it drastically alters the lines in my drawing. It did not do this in x4. I know that it changes my curves into a bunch of line segments and I am okay with that. What I have a problem with is that it is changing my straight lines into line segments that are not straight. Any way to successfully import my corel drawing into sketchup?
Im sure there must be something im missing here with the PNG export settings. I like the way the new export window appears but I cant figure out how to export from Draw to a PNG with a transparent matte of a color picked color.
How I did it in X4 was to chose to export to PNG, and when the window appeared to select a color for the transparent area, a color picker was used. Whatever I do with X5, i cant do it .
Some days ago, I installed the x6 version. Now I find that, when export to Tif using x6 with the same settings and the same origin file, the file size is almose 3 more times then when using x5.
More Details:
I always use lZW compression, than the color mode I select paletted, and the final, choose document palette.
Im trying to export my image to jpg in coreldraw x5. When Im on the original screen in the program it doesnt show the lines but it does when I try to export in jpg format. Its only the pattern fill that shows the white lines and it shows in every pattern fill that I try to export.
I have been trying to export numerous files from Corel X4 to an SVG format, individually and using the Batch Export script. These files are setup in Corel as 640x480 px and when I go to export them the page default is 600x600 pix, it will not let me change the page size to 640x480, it remains either 640x640 or 480x480.
In addition to this glitch, when I open the file in Inkscape, the page size is 14400x14400 px and when I change the page size in Inkscape to 640x480 then the drawing is so far off the page to the lower right extent that it is nearly impossible to find.
This is not limited to Inkscape when opening the file, it also behaves the same way in Illustrator and several other software packages. It is also not my Corel install, as I have Corel on several other computers. It works just fine on one of them, the other three it is just like described above.
I have tried creating new files, rebooting and nothing changes. The odd thing is that it has worked fine on these computers previously. It makes me think that once the batch script is run, it corrupts something?
I am exporting some graphics to PNG from Corel draw, but the colours are coming out ridiculous looking. The nice, wintry green, is flourescent green. I am using the RGB colour palette and exporting to RGB 24bit - is that correct?
Whenever I try to export a graphic as a jpeg the program crashes. I tried clicking off the "enable background tasks" option that seemed to fis eps exports.
