Any try editing the arrowheads and whatnot? Try putting in an X position of -.3 and the preview shows one thing but the actual application shows the arrowhead practically un-changed. Now try -70 and notice how the previews displays the change but the outcome is much different? Also, after going back in the settings, the X position is reset back to 0.0. Why?
below is -70 with arrow115.
I've spent a lot of time getting my workspace where I like it in X6. When I export it the only available format is to a .xslt file. However, when I try to imort it into X7, I get this message "Valid workspace file not found at the path specified".
The X7 import shows the ability to select .cdws, .xslt, .cwf and .cfg formats, but it will not import the .xslt from X6.
Help would be very appreciated.

I was having issues with Corel, and after trying to re-open it with the default settings, and then running the "Repair" through the installation, neither of which worked, I uninstalled the program.
Now, when I attempt to reinstall, I get the following error message
"The installation was not completed.
Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run the setup again.
This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists, and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
It has been a few days now, that the program started crashing by it self. I have it there open with a couple of files open and while working on other software i get a crash on Corel. It asks me to send the information and then shuts down
The same think happened also once with Corel Connect 64bit
I am working on a windows 7 64 bit computer
Thanks

When you click on a bitmap on all previous versions of CorelDraw it will give you the DPI information at the bottom of the screen. This was really handy when resizing images as you can easily see sizing limits This info has been removed in X7 or am I just not seeing it?
I am hoping that someone can assist me in getting my Corel working again. Every time I launch Corel, it immediately gives me the message in my subject line. It was working fine when I was operating on Windows 8 but believe the issue was caused when I updated to Windows 8.1. I have attempted to download the Corel X6.1 update which downloads fine but when I attempt to update the software, I again get the message in my subject line. I have attempted to reinstall the software from my disk which installs fine but when I launch, I have the same outcome. I have also attempted to uninstall the software but when I do, I again get the message in my subject line. I am at a lose on how to resolve this issue and was hoping someone would be able to assist.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Hi all,
Nice to be here!
Iam on an Intel Mac running Corel Graphics Suite 11. I have thousands of clipart .CDR files that I want to convert so as I can open and edit them in Adobe Illustrator CS5. I know I can export them to .ai or .eps etc. But is there a way of automating this process via a "batch conversion" or a script perhaps?
Thanks in advance
Simon
Any news on when this will come out?
If you put a bit map in a powerclip then use the roughen tool on the powerclip to mash an edge the bitmap disappears.
You can edit the powerclip and the bitmap still exists.
What goes wrong is a bit try it and see for yourself.
Just installed x7 a few days ago to edit an SVG file and get away from freeware. Sporadically have an error where the background goes to off white (and all other colors go the same direction). Also happens when I open a new doc sometimes. Sometimes fixed after restart... anybody? 
pls. help..

Hi all,
A bug I have finally isolated in CorelCAD2014 - This was causes a crash 100% of the time, with total loss of work contents and return to the OS - but I haven't been able to isolate this before - can someone please check and verify -
Details: CorelCAD2014 can both create and extrude a monodimensional mesh. This operation causes fatal failure of the application.
To reproduce -
Step 1. Draw a rectangle, and extrude it to create a box.
Step 2. Take a 3D view and create another rectangle. click on the box corner where you first started ( use snap points )
Step 3: Click on a a corner on the upper side of a rising face of the box, so that you create a rectangle in the X/Z or Y/Z plane, rather than the X/Y plane as the CCS is placed.
Outcome - you should have created a rectangle that appears to be a line ( you can delete the box if you need to see it, but if you click on the X/Y plane near the start point, you'll find it ). This is a 2 dimensional mesh with only 1 dimension, as the X dimension changes, but the Y dimension does not. It will always appear to be a line, but the shape is recorded as being a rectangle or a 2 dimensional face.
Step 4. Extrude it.
Expected Outcome: The application will crash and you will lose your work - this is expected because you can't extrude a line, and what you created is a line but is recorded as being a rectangle.
The operation should fail, possibly the original 2D part in 1d shouldn't have even been possible, but the fact that it was, and the application crashes very badly has caused me loss of work before - but I only just realized what is causing it -
Can someone please check this bug please and confirm if it causes other people to crash?
Additional note: If you save the results, you lose the email address to send the data too from the crash report. Also, the HTML upload of the crash data does not work correctly. So Corel doesn't appear to be getting crash data some times.
Once I can get others to verify, I'll upload the bug report -
Workaround? Just be careful you're not creating 2-dimensional shapes in the X/Z or Y/Z plane - it's an easy mistake if you haven't moved the CCS around, and will result in a dangerous shape that will sit in your workspace. There's no solution, just be careful.
Thanks
David
When I want to open a cdr-file including a font I don't have installed at my System, CorelDRAW X7_64 opens a window with the Panose font Substitution and crashes immediately.
Is this Problem known by other users also or ist there a solution already?
My System:
- CorelDRAW X7, 64 Bit
- Windows 8.1, 64 Bit (all Updates)
- Intel i7, 16 GB RAM

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
I am using CDGS x7 evaluation version form last 3-4 days and consistently observing a problem of the ALT keys become non-responsive after some time of CorelDraw x7 application launch, say 1 or 2 hrs. This hampers productivity a lot.
The Application re-launch makes it correct.
I have also faced this problem earlier, may be in x5 or x6 at initial stages.
Any response is appreciated.
Thanks,
Regards,
Anil.

my problem, i think, is related to macros, but im not sure, so please hear me out. lets say i have 100 pages in a corel document, each of them contains a number, same size in points. how can i transform all the page contents at once? if its possible, i mean. for example: resize and center to page, in one command for all pages, and of course the amount of the transformation is the same for all the pages. at first i tried to play with the layers in the object manager window, but it doesnt allow me to select all the layer 1's of all pages, just one at a time.
sorry bout the many "pages" in this post, im too tired now to be more coherent.
Hello, and thank you in advance for helping me with this problem. I have a photo which was printed over 10 years ago (the digital original has been long lost), and it has been sitting in Sunlight, varying over the image (nearly completely faded at the bottom, and nearly intact at the top, with slight fading at the edges (1/4 inch).
Is there a way (in CorelDraw X5) to create a percentage gradient mask with 100% processing at the bottom, varying to 0% processing at the top of a photo? This way, I can apply all changes to the image, and it will vary the percentage of application across the image, such as:
Fade Correction, Saturation, Black/Grey/White Levels, Hue/Tint, etc.
Also, if it isn't possible to achieve this effect in CorelDRAW X5 suite, then would it be possible in X6 or X7 for me to upgrade?
Thank you again for your help!

Is it just me or are tables a pain in CorelCAD? The Table info in Help is skimpy at best which reinforces the feeling that tables aren't too easy in CorelCAD.
Creating a table's structure isn't too bad but entering text in it is pretty cumbersome.You can't create a table and enter text in it as a single operation. You have to first create the table, then enter text in each cell using the EditTable command. You can't just double-click a cell to open a text editor. It takes a while to populate a table
And I still haven't figured out if you can add/delete rows or columns in an existing table. There's no intuitive menu commands for it nor does Help address this.
There's no info for Tables on the Corel site and I don't want to fork over $50 for "Inside CorelCAD" on the chance it might contain more table information ( I also don't want to pay extra for something I think should be included as fundamental software documentation).
Has anyone figured out if you can modify the structure of an existing table?
When I publish a file to PDF, the PMS colors that I have screened are not showing as a screen when converted. The PMS colors that have been screened shows up at 100%, not a percentage of the PMS I chose to use. I have tried several things and have struck out. Any suggestions? Thanks.
