CorelDRAW X6 :: Converting CDR Files To Send To CNC Software?
Jul 25, 2012
I 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 have 1 or 2 files saved in x6 that don't open under 6.1 I sent a note to Gerard with a link on the forum here, is there another place we should send files?I believe the problem is the powerclip of the fade, or the fade itself. But I have no way to prove that as I only have one copy of x6 so I can't open it and test it.
I get .ai files from customers that have drop shadows made with the "lens" effect. I want to convert them to a bitmap image with no lens effect, but if I get rid of the lens effect and then save as a bitmap image the color changes.
How can I convert objects, that have drop shadows as a "lens", to a bitmap image and have the color of the drop shadow stay the same as it was with the lens effect?
I had recently downloaded CorelDraw 6 upgrading from CorelDraw3. I'm guessing that the CD6 automatically converted all my files that were CD3 to CD6...Any who...I decided that I like corel draw 3 better and redownloaded it. Now I can't open my CD3 files now..Even though my files says CD3 I still can't open them.
For some reason I can't send files to CS5 from Lightroom 5. It was never a problem before. I also am not able to open files in the Nik collections from Lightroom.
I've created a block with the subtitles in a dwg file. The subtitles contain images (logo). I use this block to create layouts in other files and i can see the images. I'm using the Autocad LT 2014 trial.
The problem is when i send the files to someone else, the pictures dont apear. I've tried to insert these images as OLE images, but they still dont appear.
I just want to send dwg files with the images without having to send the images as an attachment.
I am exporting my image into another program Bling it, and when its time to cut my image its not on the page to cut. Also do you know if I can set up my corel to my plotter to cut directly? Instead of sending to another program.
What do you use to send and backup your AutoCAD files? I've heard of CADCloud which looks good: URL....What other CAD - specific solutions are there around?
I have a customer trying to send a attachment with a particular font -- GlastonburyD -- and I am trying to explain the process on how to make such an attachment, I thought to ask the font gurus here if there is an alternate font that matches.
I can open the font in OpenOffice3 with the attached .docx she sent and it will display the font in the dropdown list, I, for the life of me, can not find a font folder anywhere in the program's file.
I jumped from using Windows XP with CorelDraw 11 to Windows 7 with CorelDraw 16, and ever since then, I have been having problems with colors changing in my PDF files. Before I send the file, I open it in Adobe Acrobat Pro to make sure the colors look correct, and they look fine..., but the person who is receiving the PDF tells me that when they open up the file, the colors change (usually to black), or nothing appears at all. What is up with this? I use Pantone Solid Coated colors in my PDF files because that is what we use to match our silk screening inks.
How do I go about converting MOV files into DV or mpeg files to edit? When I import the files are choppy I downloaded the quicktime, dvx and direct x files. No success.
As an organization, we have opted to go with STB as we have some complicated requirements that CTB doesn't accommodate. The wisdom of that decision is a moot point and I'm aware of the vast array of opinion.
We have a legacy of CTB drawings that occassionally need to be brought forward when projects get resurrected (state government highway designs are prone to getting shelved).
Up to AutoCAD 2009, I've had a VBA routine that performed a few operations on a list of files stored in a text file:
- Open the file
- Convert to STB using "CONVERTPSTYLES" with a specified STB file.
- Run a script to load a layer state file to change the plot styles from Style1, Style2 etc, to their correct named plot styles.
- Manage a recalcitrant layer that refused to play ball.
- Save and close the document
- Get the next file........
This was all fine until 2010 came along with the announcement that VBA was to be phased out. 2010 is OK with the VBA enablers, but now I've got some work to do.
Our organisation's development language is C# and I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition to develop my C# .NET code.
Is there another mechanism than "SendStringToExecute" for sending a command such as convertpstyles to AutoCAD and getting .NET to wait for it to finish before proceeding.
I've got CommandEnded code that handles waiting for MTEXT and DTEXT commands to finish and I've tried constructing a CommandEnded for CONVERTPSTYLES, but it seems to me that commands that throw dialogue boxes such as CONVERTPSTYLESand SCRIPT aren't handled the same way.
I've tried setting FILEDIA to 0 prior to running the CONVERTPSTYLES command, however the message box that CONVERTPSTYLES presents before asking for the STB file appears to be getting in the way.
I 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!
I'm tracing a picture of a boat using the beizer tool. 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 have a file (sample attached) that I need to be able to open in CorelDRAW X5. I was told that the file was created in Corel something, then modified in AI. When I open or import it, I get garbage.
so many tools and option here, and yet I can't seem to figure out how to convert old PCD files! Do I really have to buy something like Graphic covnerter to open these, and then move them into PS?
I copied some videos to a DVD using a Panasonic DVD recorder and was trying to put them on my computer for storage and playback. It was three TV shows in VOB format with IFO files in the folder as well. Initially, the only way I could get anything to play was with the video TS file with windows media player, as my computer does not recognize VOB. This doesn't really work as they need to be stored separately given that they are different shows. Further complicating it is that instead of 3 VOB files, there are 5, so the episodes are spilt in the middle of some of them.
I came across this old thread viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19926&view=previous . I can't import from DVD because it reports it's not a valid format. I was able to rename them to mpg files, but have some issues. When played individually with windows media player, file 01 only plays 5 minutes of the video (About 20-25 minutes are just missing despite being over 1 gig) and the actual video is missing, just the audio plays (the video for that 5 minutes does play in vs x4, it is complete and works fine when playing from the video_ts file in windows media player). The others work fine. Each episode is about 42 minutes. Also noted that 01 is listed as being half of the resolution of the others.
When I try combining files and saving as various mpg options or flv, I either lose audio altogether at certain parts, or it is badly delayed/mismatched and the part that is not showing when I play file 01 alone is missing from the combined video as well. I also tried it in windows moviemaker, but it can't play the files at all.
I been having a problem with 3ds Max 2010 crashing in Mental Ray. Not enough memory problems. I know you can use Photoshop and convert your jpegs into Targa files at 32 bit and a image size that is easy for 3ds Max 2010 to understand without crashing mental ray. I forgot the Image size. I ran across it in another forum, on another website, but lost the link to the forum. It's been years since I remember the site.
what they do for texture images in Material Editor in 3ds Max 2010. I am messing with image size around 2000 x 2000 or 4000 x 4000, which are Poser 8 texture maps.
I am using AutoCAD lt 2004. I used to easily save files to pdfs using the plot command. My previous HDD was C:. Since replacing the drive and a few other things my HDD is now H:
When I try to save(plot) a file as a pdf now I get a message saying "windows is unable to read drive C;. Make sure there is a disk in the drive and that the disk is formatted and free of errors".
How do I convert a shape file (.shp) from GIS into a file format that I can use in Autocad (dwg, dxf)?? I use Autocad 2002.I am trying to convert a GIS county land use map that shows things like roadways, waterways, etc. into Autocad.
I'm looking for an application (retail) that does a good (accurate) job of converting PDF files to DWG or DXFs. I realize that it is not an exact science and each program has its strong and weak points.
I've been trying to export some CS4 Illustrator files to cad for laser cutting. Fab shops here use mostly Solidworks, but can use autocad. I'm selecting dfx/dwg in the export, and scaling to inches, even double checking the scaling is correct from a decimal measurment found on another forum thread, and it is-- but I've tried this about 8 times now with 2 different fab shops and they both say when they open the files the scaling is WAYYYY off, and there are breaks and "splines" all over that are disconnected.
I originally set up Lr to automatically build xmp files. Recently, I decided to go with dng files and have converted all my raw files to dng. Can I now delete all my xmp files and change my Lr setting so xmp files are no longer automatically produced?
