it seems like in the past whenever i made either artistic text or paragraph text color default, that was reflected in the control Text using the Dimension tool.
but no matter what changes i make in X6, it remains a chalky blue.
Is there a way to change the default color of the Dimension lines and text? I want it to default to black not dull green! I can change it afterwards, but can't seem to find a way to change the default color.
View 1 Replies View RelatedExperiencing problems with the dimension tool since upgrading to Corel Draw X6 at this end, which hasn't been resolved with the updates.
I work in mm. The system doesn't remember the default settings if I change my preferences for it to measure in mm via the customisation window or the toolbox as it used to in previous versions. When I open the program again or start a new document, the measurement default keeps changing back to ["] (inches). Sometimes, it will jump back to inches after I change the default to mm when I'm working on the same document.
Same problem seems to be happening with the other units of measure available as well.
Current workaround - the only time it seems to remember my settings is if I change the default to mm and then save a document.
I can fwd a video screen capture which shows the problem if that would work.
I can't see how to set my basic default settings that I have always used for:- artistc text: color, size, etc.- paragraph text: line spacing, etc.- graphic: color, outline, etc.
I even click "text properties" and nothing happens.
How is it done in X6?
I am working on an animated gif, and so with bitmaps, to which I am adding text in Xara.All of the text that I create seems to want to be gray. I have tried changing transparency, I have tried setting my default color, and changing the color of the text.I have also checked to make sure that the text is not set to transparent. If I select the text, and then the transparency tool, it shows "No transparency", and the transparency is set at 0 percent. It is interesting that, if I move the percent transparency above 0 percent and then back down to 0 percent, it changes to "None" in stead of "No transparency". Is "None" the same is "No transparency"?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having a major issue here, I use custom colors (created in my custom palette), X^ used to hold it very nicely, even in PDF exports etc.
Now - with the latest update, X6 "forgets" the custom colors, it resets it to default color, I have to manually set every object to the custom color all over again.
Is there any way to control how far out the color spreads into other sections of the mesh?
I'd like to take a class on how to use this tool
I need to change the default text color to a pantone spot color.

I have been drawing the drafting lines and measurements manually and noticed the dimensions tool. Works great but when I shrink the layout for proofing the measurements change. Is there a setting that I can select that will keep the actual measurements of the drawing no matter how I resize it for proofing?

View 7 Replies View RelatedX4 user here that upgraded to X6 a few weeks ago. One thing that's blowing my gord is having my dimensions "lock" to guidelines and/or objects -- My dimensions aren't locked in the classic sense, i understand how to lock a dimension in corel. What i mean every time i create a dimension with master guides, and then try to move my guides, my dimension moves with it.
The worst of it is that i'm mostly getting them linked to master guidelines, so when i create a new page, say page 2, and want to move a master guide, i go back to page 1, and it has messed up all my dimensions.
And no, i do not want to break my dimension apart, I need it to stay as a working dimension!
This is probably simple, but I cannot find how do display dimensions on both feet and inches.
Currently my dimensions display as a decimal (ie 12.5' ). I would like both feet and inches (ie 12' 6" )
Where do I change this, turn on option?
why the dimension tool now appears in blue? how to change it back in black?

See the figure below.
Is there any way to adjust the dimensions, when dragged, with regular distance from object?
See differences by red arrows. The intention is that dimensions keep a pre-set regular distance.
Whenever I open coreldraw the CURVE FLYOUT has the freehand drawing tool as the one that shows. I never use the freehand drawing tool and would much prefer the flyout to default to the polyline tool. But I cannot find a way of making it do that. Of course, if I select the polyline tool it will show as default from then on, but it always reverts to the freehand tool on restarting coreldraw.

I wanted to have the color of the dimension text different from the dimension line but couldn’t find where such option might be found.
I try to control the width between the border of rectangle and the edge of the text I put inside.
Is this possible with X4 ?
Is there a way to set the default color scheme to RGB?
Every time I start a new document, the color scheme is set to CMYK. I don't see a setting for it in "Settings"
Is there a way that we can have the default color pallet to work like X3 where you hover over the color and it would say 80% Black? In X6 it give you the RGB coding instead and only shows you 80% Black when you have it fully open to show the color names. Is there a way that part can show up like X3?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have the fill color turned on in my dimension style to background. I want to adjust the "masking" box size. Just as you are able to in the text edit-background mask. I believe the default must be 1.25 larger than the text. I would like it to be 1.00. Is this possible? You can adjust the text background mask size, but not the dimension mask size.
View 8 Replies View RelatedAfter a little while the color palette suddenly became glaringly fluorescent and no amount of rebooting could get my original color palette back. After that I opened the Palette Editor under Tools and fiddled around the Sort button settings there. This changed the order I was seeing the colors in my palette which stayed as fluorescent as ever and the original sequence would not come back no matter what I did. I read up a bit and played around with the Color Management settings-in vain. As a last resort I have uninstalled and installed the program again-to no avail! What should I do? I tried the F8 start as well-that didn't work either.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up my CorelDraw x6 workspace so that the default spot color palette is set to Pantone solid coated.
I go to:Tools > Options (or Customization) > Global > Color > set "Default spot color palette" to "PANTONE solid coated"
Unfortunately this seems to be ignored by x6.
Every time i want to change from a CMYK color to Pantone i must do the following:
1) select the objec
t2) double click the color chip adjacent to the Fill icon in the Status Bar
3) which brings up:
4) from here I select the Palettes tab (if it is not already selected)5) then select from the Palette drop down menu:SPOT > PANTONE > PANTONE+ > Solid Coated
This is a very clumsy and inefficient way to work as I must do this EVERY time I want to change from CMYK to Pantone.Is there any way to get x6 to operate correctly or is there something I am missing?
I am having a problem with dimension lines defaulting with blue text. I have set my defaults to black but it does not change. Other designers in my company are having the same problem.

Would like to have it default to 'Outside contour' mode and have the value changed to a smaller more manageable value.
The thing is that my dimension text is colored white and outlined with the cyan( the color I want to use it for).
I have attached an image so that you can see. How to remove this white and have some other color instead of that.
