After opening the file, I save it as a Corel Draw file, then work on it. The problem starts when converting the Corel file to an AI file. The AI file now shows sections of letters filled in, like the letter o.
We're using Corel X5 and using Windows 7.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a BMP image that is part of a larger logo that I need to be cut out on my inline cutter. The problem is, when I convert the whole logo to the plotter file, the BMP image does not show up. I have tried using the outline trace to convert the BMP to a form my plotter will recognize, but when I save the file, it saves it with a white background that shows up in my plotter image. This white background messes up the whole logo.
Is there any way to save the file where the image has a transparent background? I have been saving it as a .cmx file and there is no option to save it as a transparent background.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFor some reason I am having issues converting a CDR file to PDF which contains objects/text with fountain fills.
I have looked at some previous posts detailing the same problem, have followed their remedies, i.e. "render complex fills as bitmaps" in the advanced tab in the PDF conversion pane. Despite these best efforts I am still having the problem of my black background; fixed in the "page layout" tab being corrupted, resulting in the background being the fountain fill once converted.
I designed artwork for a large banner (84" x 32") so my AI artboard is that large. As you can imagine, with all the text and graphics I used, this file size is 22.8 MB. I need to email this art to the printer, but the file size is too large to email. How do i go about reducing the file size in AI so it still maintains large format print resolution? Will saving to a PDF lose the print quality?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to convert from CDR to EPS because the print shops in my country don't use CorelDraw.
The thing is, what shall I do before converting from CorelDraw? I exported it and saved it as EPS, I tried the same as PDF then opened it with an Adobe Illustrator and saving it to EPS but as you can see in the attachment, they are different, even the pictures that I imported while using CorelDraw, they became blacker!

Now that I'm finished I would like to select everything I did and turn them all into curves at once, but it will only let me select sections at a time...how come? Is there a way to selet them all and turn them into curves or do I have to select one section at a time?

I'm just starting to explore converting images to vector in CorelDRAW and am running into what, I hope, is a rookie problem.
There is white space between the lettering below the main logo image and I'm wondering how to make it transparent like the rest of the background.
When converting text to curves, it seems to move the text a fraction to the left. How to avoid this?

I'm currently working with some vectorial cartoonish drawings, and while it's mostly quite easy, I'm having problems with disconnected lines. At the end of a disconnected line it needs to gradually get thinner and end in a small, rounded off point. It needs to to become thinner much slower than the normal rounded-off point, kind of a sharpenned edge effect.
So far the only method I could manage is making a shape instead of a line, but it's much harder to work whenever I want to change something, since I have to rework node by node. So I was wondering if there was a way to convert a line into a shape, so I can modify it all I want as a line, and then turn it into a shape and add the sharpened end.
How a drawing in CMYK can be converted to RGB ? At present i am selecting each element of the drawing and manually converting it.Tried the Visual Basic 'File Converter' option, but it doesn't work.

How to convert clipart files into dxf vector files if this is possible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI do not understand how to convert files so that my CNC program can use them. I am new to cnc machining and most of my files are in vector format and created using Corel Draw X3. I now have X6 but have not tried to convert them from there yet.
I understand that most cnc software programs want to see files in a DFX format. I tried saving to dxf from X3 but they are a mess when I open them in Desk CNC, my cnc software.
Since my files are already vector it would seem as though a cad program like Auto-cad would be able to open the files I save in a dxf format correctly. Something to do with the nodes, they are gaps between them so they are not connected.
I've imported a logo to Corel Draw. The logo has several simple polylines. I'd like to convert them into artistic media in order to simulate calligraphic or hand made looking strokes. I pick the polyline, then I select Artistic Media from Effects menu. Then CD shows me the Default Strokes in a side docker window. I select any stroke.
The polyline changes, but I can't modify the stroke width spinner. Is there another method to convert lines to artistic media without redraw them over.
I work at a small newspaper and use CorelDraw X5 (the rest of the newspapers in our company all use Adobe products).
When we get for example, a logo sent to us (also happens with PDF's that are sent to us as well), many times the black is registration black and I need it to be CMYK.
When we PDF the ad to send it for printing the black is on all 4 plates (CMYK) our printer says, drop CorelDraw spend $2000+ and get in design and CS5 and your troubles will go away. I am hoping there is a solution that lets me continue to use CorelDraw as I love this program and do not want to switch.
This is the second time I've had crashes in X6 64 bit, the first time was importing a very large "XLS" file, and then today while converting a selected group to curves it crashed. I restarted Draw opened the file that I had saved but not converted the part of the drawing I wanted to cut to curves, as soon as I tried to convert to curves it crashed again. Restarted the computer with the same results. I got the job to the cutter so it is not holding me up, but I did want to let the powers that be know about the crash. And I have been converting at least some of each drawing I do to curves with no problems, nothing had changed in the computer so it makes me wonder what's going on. The computer is a i5, 8 gb ram, 2 gb video card, Windows 7 Ult.

View 1 Replies View RelatedA client has asked me if I can give them a .nc file so they can directly input into their cnc machines.
I know that I can save an autocad drawing, or objects in a drawing, as a .DXF file. I also know that i can purchase, or obtain an open-source version of, software that will then convert the .DXF file to a .nc file. Currently, my company does not do 3-d models. I have not dealt with this before, so, I am wondering if my drawings will need to be 3-d in order for the .nc code to be correctly read.

This isn't something I am in need of because in the future with this graphic I would just convert the background. Just wondering why it made those odd lines coming off of the words and the black bar (I don't know how the heck you guys can post large things, things with motion, etc. I have to make things miniature to put them on here)
I assume it has something to do with how the original, that came from MillerCoors, has those layers of lines in it. I just don't get why lines would then be visible when I changed it since nothing like that has happened before. Oh, and if you are wondering why I converted it, it's because I knew my rip server wouldn't like all that stuff going on in the original
I have a document which contains around 100 RGB bitmaps arranged in a collage. Now this is going to be printed offset, delivered via pdf with cmyk swopv2 color profile.
Most of the rgb to cmyk converted images look best with relative colormetric as they're fairly close to the cmyk gamut and this maintains the saturation and colors I'm looking for. However, some wider-gamut images look much better with perceptual rendering intent.
Is there any quick way to pick my rendering intent when doing individual bitmap mode conversions in draw, so I can hand select which images are converted using relative colormetric and which using perceptual?
i.e. click one bitmap, menu bitmap, mode, cmyk using perceptual,or menu bitmap, mode, cmyk using relative colormetric?
Right now the quickest way I can seem to achieve this is to manually set the whole color management to perceptual, select by eye and convert those images to cmyk that are well outside the cmyk gamut, then set it back to relative colormetric and generate the pdf cmyk which then makes those rgb images not manually converted while it was set to perceptual be converted via the now set relative colorimetric. It works, but I wish I had more interactive control on the mode conversion bitmap by bitmap.
I have just updated to X5 from CD12. Seems to me I heard once there was some way to convert an older custom workspace.
