CorelDRAW X6 :: Positioning Imported Items
Jul 3, 2013
When I import items, I get a "tool tip" near the mouse stating that I can press enter to center on the page. Or I can press the Space Bar to use the original position. I have a lot of templates set up that I use to go off of, and like to use the space bar for a different quick key.
Is it possible to switch the import quick buttons around somewhere? for example: to have the enter button place the file I'm importing to the original position?

I've imported a PSD to animate in action. I need the grey blade area to be transparent and show the background image. As I change the transparency in the Axis node, the grey area gets darker and lighter in color but does not show the background image through.

Is there any way i can tell a node that ive just added to go to an exact position such as X,50 Y,100 ???
i want to be able to tell the node to go to that position so it can make it easier for me to join lines etc.

I know it is easy to tile objects using the Transformation - positioning and then click on the "relative position" and choose the direction.
But if I want to only shift it half the width to create something that may looks like bricks tiles.
One way to do it is to look up the width and height of the object, bringing up the calculator and divide it with 2 and then enter the result into the positioning manually.

Can we set shortcuts for different positions like alt +f8 for moving the object right relative to its position, alt+f9 for moving the object left relative to its position?

I'm running out of time. I ungrouped a set of three images. How do I take only one of the images out? When I try to take one out, all three images come out? I am doing this for a nonprofit organization and it needs to be done today. Did I ungroup them incorrectly or can you not remove only one image?

I am hoping to link text items between pages and items in the drawing such as elevations?
So, ideally, I would have a front page to my drawing set, and this would have a 'Contents' type table on it, with the title name of each drawing in one column, then the drawing number in the next column. This is the tricky bit, someone must know: If i was to change the name / number of any item in this table, could it change also (linked to) the following items:
Drawing title (as a text idem on the layout sheet that that drawing relates to)
Drawing number (as a text idem on the layout sheet that that drawing relates to)
Elevation call-out (on the plan view)
And possibly:
Excel reference cell
Drawing layout tab title (this might be pushing it!!)
Perhaps this could be done by linking to an external Excel spreadsheet with these titles modified in there? I'm not sure. This would be ideal as typing into excel is a lot easier than the triple click text modify method required currently.
I waste a lot of time renaming and updating sheet names / titles / numbers. Are there standard templates for drawing sets that may have this built in available anywhere that I could try?

New to Corel, I find selecting items kinda frustrating with the black handles, which can be difficult to distinguish with objects close in size or proximity. Is there a way of making a selection change color when selected as Cad programs do ?

I have exported a file from a program called Aspire (used for CNC router modelling) in 3 formats. AI, EPS and DXF. Aspire is a vector program. The file is a bunch of text that I have carved into wood using the Aspire program output (toolpaths)
Now I want to import the file into CorelDraw to cut a vinyl outline of the text so I can place the vinyl over the timber and remove the cut letters and then spraypaint the letters that are cut into the timber. If I can cut the the vinyl exactly the same size as the router has cut the wood I can stick the vinyl over the wood and spraypaint into the grooves which saves a huge amount of time to make the sign.
However, what I need to be able to do is fill all the letters in Corel Draw and get rid of the outline pen in the file as the vinyl cutter software will cut the letters twice if I have the fill and the outline but it will not cut the outline by itself. So I need all the letters just to be filled (any colour is OK) to run the program that controls the vinyl cutter.
I have imported each file type into CorelDraw (one at a time)and and in each case have tried to fill the letters but I can't get CorelDraw to fill the letters properly. Say with letter "a" it will fill the vectors surrounding the letter but also fill the centre piece of the "a" and even if I select the centre piece of the "a" separately I cannot "unfill" that bit. I can change the centre piece to white and it look like its "unfilled" but that won't work with my vinyl cutter. It will not cut out the centre piece unless I can find a way to unfill the centre piece.
Same problem with all the letters that have a vector inside another closed vector (like p,q,e,g,o etc)

Can the items in the Contents Folder (e.g. Frames, pictures, etc.) be opened directly into Photoshop CS6 without first being opened in CorelDRAW X6. I have both programs, and it would be great if I had access to those objects whenever I'm using Photoshop.

We have imported a .dwg file from our engineer into CorelDraw 5 under Windows Vista (64-bit). The file appears to import all elements since the layers and objects all appear in the 'Object Manager' docker. We can also select ALL objects and a rectangular marquee or extent shows up on the screen, which is presumably the bounding box for the imported drawing. Unfortunately, there is nothing displayed there (no topo, no streets, no buildings, not anything). We even tried selecting all objects and changing the color to black, but there are so many elements it appears the system will never stop processing or is locked up.
Why our imported .DWG file appears to be there, but displays nothing?
There was a small dot on our screen near the side of the page, just a small spec on the monitor. When we selected the dot and resized it to a full page, there was our complete drawing. However, we do not know why the drawing was imported as just a spec, nor why we had a larger edit marquee that appeared as wide as the page, yet appeared blank.

I'm a Corel Draw x4 user and many times I import jpeg or png in corel to trace manually a photograph or a scan.
My problem is the images that come in, appear in really low resolution, although if I export them of course they are fine.
This is a pain as sometimes clients sent already bad quality pictures and I end up trying very hard to understand an image inside corel, even when having a windows image viewer side by side with corel...
Is there any option to show imported images at a 100% quality or something?

Even the most simple documents are not correctly exported/imported from/to CorelDRAW.
Just try to enter some graphical text using two different (uncommon) fonts... Export as SVG and re-import the file as a new document into CorelDRAW...
@ Corel: Either drop the SVG format from your import/export formats drop down box or get the standard correctly implemented.

I have a JPEG cartoon image (company logo) that I want to import. When I do the logo goes blurry. Not terrible, but when you zoom in, way more blurry than if you opened the picture in Microsoft Picture Manager.

After the last couple updates for Coreldraw X6 (now running at v 16.4.0.1280) my version of Draw has been crashing when-ever I go to open any of our custom templates. The templates are rather complicated, and we've been using them for years... probably since Coreldraw 7 or so, and they've gracefully worked with every version of Corel up until now.
Each model year we create a new version of the template with the new model features and file the old ones away, which also ensure that the version of the template is not too old... ie, not still trying to work with CD7 files in CDX6.
I tried doing a workspace restore (F8 at start) and that would allow me to open the template through the File -> New From Template menu the first time, but once I had my workspace set-up again, the next template would crash Coreldraw.
Opening a template via the standard File->Open menu does not crash Coreldraw.
I've now figured out that if I close the Object Manager before opening a template Coreldraw does not crash.
There was also a similar problem with importing some components that we had created as separate files, and with the same result... if the Object Manager is closed the files import alright.
I understand that there may now be "bad objects" in the file that upset the import feature, but I also don't think I can mine my way through 1940 objects (29436 points) in each template to find the issue.

I have imported a 2d drawing of a vehicle into coral draw x5 from auto cad. Problem is that when I zoom in all the lines do not seem to be joined especially curves, this in turn makes it a pain when filling with colour. I have recently traced one side manually using line and curve tools but my question is, is there s quicker way of tracing a dxf without manually doing it? And if so how to do it?

If I import a custom bitmap into Coreldraw, as linked image, the resulting image is very coarse.
If I import all content, the resolution is preserved.
Is that possible to increase the preciousness of linked images to reflect original?

Marshall's Burger Logo (Red Background).pdf
I receive a PDF file from my client which is their logo.
The text is suppose to be vector, but they appear as bitmap and I cannot apply fill and outline to it.
I can edit the nodes with the Shape Tool after I converted it to AI or EPS format, but still cannot apply fill and outline.

I'm trying to add perspective to photos (JPEG files) imported into CorelDraw.
I want to change a photo so that, rather than facing 'head on', it looks as though it is facing away at an angle.
I can skew basic shapes to give the impression these have perspective but I can not do this with JPEG files. How to acheive this in CorelDraw or CorelPhoto.

I have attached two jpg's so you can see what I mean.
I have been importing this text for a long time and ever since X5 it is doing odd things. When I select the text to edit it, it highlights all of the text area in a light blue color. Usually I can get one edit done, if I try and select any other part again, Corel crashes and I have to re-open my program. As you can see what I have to edit is these strange characters that show up where the apostrophe's are supposed to be.
I've been in touch with the makers of the program I am importing FROM and they have no idea why I'd be having trouble with their text. They say all they use is Aerial.

The imported file is probably from Illustrator. The vector element in question is text converted to curves with a CMYK bit map fill. CorelDraw X5 seems unable to extract the bitmap fill from the vectors. What's up with this, is there anyway to extract the bitmap fill?

When importing a multi-page pdf or ps file into a multi-page document, sometimes the inserted pages will all have their Document Grid layer visibility turned on, even when the existing pages in the document all have it turned off.
If I bring up the object manager, I can go through the affected pages and 'un-eye' them one page at a time. But it's a blooming nuisance, especially when importing dozens of pages at once.

How can I make an imported scan of a line drawing "transparent" and add color fills to various sections, using the freehand tool ? I have done this many times with an older version of CorelDraw, but in CorelDraw- x5 the
imported scan includes a white background (even when I select NO FILL), so that my freehand tool selections are either on top of, or hidden behind the white background.

I am a C# developer and not very familiar with coreldraw(when using with c#). My problem is that i am programmatically importing image on a curve using the following C# code.
d.ActiveLayer.Import(imgpath);// image path is path of the cdr file
var v = d.ActiveShape;
v.SizeHeight = 20.00;
v.SizeWidth = 15.00;
v.AddToPowerClip(s);
Now when i run this code the image gets placed into the curve bit it gets stretched vertically means the face of a student(that comes from imagepath) get stretched vertically..When i do this Manually with scaling and sizing ratio locked it gets properly inserted in curve....

I have a dwg that someone imported and I cannot find where this object is. I have tried searching the database with DBLink, Ideate BIMLink and I have gone into every view to no avail. I also used the reviTTools add-in which says there are no drawings in the file. Am I dealing with a corrupted file? I am super OCD and this is in our Template which makes it an even bigger problem.
