Hi,
When I click the Help key in CDR X7, I get a window from Apache Open Office (which I currently use as a word processing ap), but the window diappears in a couple of seconds and no help text is displayed. Is anyone aware of why this might be happening.
Cheers,
Frank
I laser engrave photos without the benefit of Photograv. I've read alot of hype but haven't been any place to see a comparison of what it can do. Between Corel Photo-paint and the Corel Painter Essentials II I got with my tablet, I am turning out some pretty nice stuff. Since Photograv didn't come with the business I bought, I have thought about it but the price is pretty high for a gamble. I would like to hear from others as to the pros and cons of Photograv. Any comments?

Hello,
I used to be able to take and convert Photoshop brushes to use in the previous version of PP. I admit the version was a dinosaur - it was Photopaint 8 from yeeears ago. I recently had to buy a new computer, and was forced to get an updated version of PP, as that one was just too old to run under Windows 8.1.
So... in Photopaint x7... is there any way at ALL to save a custom nib/brush from a png file, or am I just up the creek without a paddle here? I already have the ABR exporter, but once I get the png file into Photopaint, I just can't seem to find a way to save it as a custom nib. Heck, I can't even find a way to save custom brushes, PERIOD... the 'add custom brush' option is ALWAYS greyed out no matter what I do.
I have already tried Dan Richard's tutorial, and that does NOT work with x7 from what I can see. No joy.
So, is there any way to create a custom nib/brush from a .png file, and SAVE it as a custom brush preset? Or is that functionality now gone?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I'm using CorelDRAW X6 (64bit on Win 7).
Recently I noticed the VSTA Editor in Macros Menu.
When I opened VSTA Editor a blank IDE opened. New Project Dialog is also empty.
What is the use of this editor?
How does this differs from VBA Macro Editor?
What are the recources related to VSTA?
Please shed some light on it.
Thanks and regards.
Is any way possible to import tables in draw with Corel Office?
There seems to be a problem exporting TTF, unless they changed the way it needs to be done.
In the past, to make a letter "O" you would make two circles, then combine, or use shaping to subtract one from the other. Both of these tools will properly remove one from the other, in other words, they make a single object which is transparent in the center.
However, when you select the object, export to TTF, the object comes out as one solid, completely filled object.
Using a bullet was the best way I could illustrate my point. Hopefully this is clear.
Is there a different way to export to TTF? I've tried everything I can imagine.
For some reason the programmers that work on these programs and updates don't seem to use the same computers that everyone else does ? Hence the difficulty in replicating the same customer issues that we all experience. Is this true ?
What I really hate is any save / open / or rendering the whole screen JUMPS ! It makes the program look terribly unstable. Surely the programmers and coders experience this ? And what have they done about it ?
When you resize a text frameALL the text gets reformated and you loose all your font formatting. Bold goes, underline goes, font styles all revert to one font, etc, etc. The safest way not to loose your formatting is dont touch the text frame !!! The was supposed to be addressed in Update 2.
Corel goes to so much trouble marketing this software yet they just can't get it right. Updates are hit and miss.
I am a strong supporter of CorelDRAW , we use it extensively in movie , television production and advertising. We love it !
Come on Gerard get with the program and get your team working on making CorelDRAW the best.
Hello,
I have such a problem: When I use any tool (like Clone) in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, my coursor is on another location than the change. Coursor is in the right place in the entire program. Problem is only on edited picture. When I trag the mouse, this two places are connected by tool I used. This happen only in Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 only on edited picture. Corel Draw works fine.
Should it be in settigs?
Than you for answers.

open this doc. now make a new blank doc, switch back to culprit.cdr.
does it ask you to save it even though no changes were done? Why is that?
I recorded this macro to draw an eye-bolt in X4. One problem that came about is the blend effect. It is essentially broken somehow. Try this out and select the threaded section which has the effect and add more steps. It should be evenly spaced threads...not the case. What's wrong in the code?

Hi all. I have a 13 of pages of paragraph text. The text fill is black (RGB 0,0,0) throughout. No pen outline. No graphics. However, the Document Palette shows four wells - none, RGB 0,0,0, CMYK100 and RGB 0,0,0 (again). I usually only have the 'none' well showing. I have no idea what the others are referring to. How do I find out?

I have some cdr files created in the last 2-3 months that will not open with CorelDraw. I have just noticed this today, but I am assuming it is X7 update 2 related. I am running Windows 8.1
It is just a few cdr files, not all. I am not sure what the difference might be, but a guess would be different fonts. As far as I can tell all the effected files were made with X7 update 1.
Windows spits out this:
Problem Event Name:APPCRASH
Application Name:CorelDrw.exe
Application Version:17.2.0.688
Application Timestamp:53f7d8ef
Fault Module Name:CdrTxt.dll
My question is might there be a logfile generated some place or a way to enable logging so that a logfile is generated?
Any other suggestions?
Hi,
I recently upgraded my x5 to x7. I cut vinyl with a Roland Plotter. When I copy/paste designs and fonts from Corel X7 to my roland Cut Studio software the lines aren't smooth, very jagged and they cut as shown in my Roland Software. I did not have this problem with X5.
Is there anyone who can give me any insight on this problem? I need a fix, quickly. Thanks!

Is there a way to do this automatically?
I think I had a macro installed on one version awhile ago - but wanted know how if there is a way to do it through Corel - of if anyone had suggestions on how to do this quickly.... basically group all like colors together so I can go through and then put them in the order that I need them to be.
Thanks!
Hello, all
I have been looking into polishing up some of my macro stuff by properly reacting to document settings and such and prettied something that was built for everyday use. It's a simple little tag adding tool:
To try it out just download the attached zip and extract the GMS file into: C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\APPDATA\Roaming\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6\Draw\GMS
Then in CD go to Tools ==> Macros ==> Macro manager and launch the ShowForm bit.
If you have a document open and a shape selected it should work just fine.
As can be seen some more options are in store - if you have any suggestions, feel free to share.
