It seems to me in X3 I could create a master layer and put it infront or behind all other layers. Now it seems that I can't do that.
Does anyone know how to make a master layer in x5 and move it behind all other layers in all pages at once?
If your answer includes going to the object manager and moving it on all the pages, don't bother. I'm not doing it for 400 pages.
I'm having unsatisfactory results importing/exporting EPS files (specifically to/from TypeTool 3, if that clarifies anything). These are just simple font glyph outlines. I thought maybe I hadn't installed Ghostscript, but I tried to do modify install and got the information that it was already installed. Is there anything I can do at this point to improve things?
Thanks,
Ellen
Have been using x6 since it came out. No problems.
Starting yesterday, I copy/paste text from Word to x6 paragraph text box, save, all fine. But when I attempt to edit that text box, entire program crashes each time I try to save a change.
Sometimes I can make a single change -- add a return -- and save before crash. This is a nightmare. I've relied on Corel for years and suddenly a 5 minute job has become impossible to complete after a day and a half of frustration.
I'm using Win7. This problem started at about the time I added a logitech c920 webcam. The logitech software won't work at all with my system. Logitech says the wacom tablet is the problem.
I've uninstalled the logitech AND restored my system to pre-webcam condition (so they say) but the Corel text bug persists.
I am desperate.
Experiencing 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 help.
I am a software designer and i design CAD/CAM software, mainly for use with laser-cutters.
I have built a software that outputs ultra-high node count SVG polygons. We then use CorelDraw to convert those to PLT/HPGL in order to be able for laser cutters to read them properly.
My team has discovered a bug within the IMPORT of PLT's and HPGL's in all CorelDraw GS products.
The export works just fine, however when we re-import those PLT's back to CorelDraw some lines are not continuous anymore. They are visually there, and the only way to tell that a line is not continous is by ungrouping the objects and dragging them apart - This way we can see that the object is sometimes ''puzzled'. Where it is supposed to be dragged unified it is now dragged in pieces.
If we export the ''broken'' imports again, the laser cutters recognize that the paths are not unified and there are some problems with them.
However if we export the PLT's from the SVG's and we do not re-import and re-export into CorelDraw then there is no problem at all.
Also Inkscape reads the exported PLT's just fine without problems, again if we don't re-import and re-export.
This indicates that the problems lie within the PLT IMPORT function of CorelDraw and not the PLT EXPORT.
The high-node count SVG files we import for the conversion are sometimes in excess of 10 000 nodes. Sometimes when we reduce significantly the node count there is no problem at all, even at re-importing and re-exporting although there is some loss of quality.
Please fix this ASAP.
Hallo,
is there some easy way to hide the scratch area or canvas (like everything outside the normal page) while still working on the image? or maybe alternatively is there some way to have a permanent preview window with the scratch area hidden like in photoshop
any clue would help, thanks in advance :)
Why news Paper is not using CorelDraw for Page layout? Is it slow, taking lot space to save the file or not convenient?
Is there any way different than drag and drop for moving pages in multiple pages designs.
I have some presentation designs lately and have to change pages numbers or move multiple pages.
Drag and drop is not user friendly on 30-50 pages documents.

Hello all. I am pretty new to corel and am having some issues. I am a tech illustrator and some projects I work on have very specific standards for call outs. The arrowheads that are defaults are to fat and when I change the scale in the settings the halo gets out of control. When a default is used the halo come to a point at the tip of the arrow but when the scale is changed the halo no longer ends at the tip. Any help will be great thanks.

Hello all, I am new to designer and well corel in general. I am used to drawing in autocad and I grew accustomed to drawing with a black background. Is there a way in corel to make the background black so that when the drawing is exported it converts back to white with black lines? Thanks in advance.

Hi All
I have just upgraded to X6 from X5.
When I export a PDF the dialog window no longer opens and offers me the choices for crop marks, bleeds and so on!
This all use to work fine in X5.
How can I get this to start working properly again.
Anyone know?
Cheers

I was searching for tutorials on creating isometric drawings in Designer and found very little. The only tutorials I have found cover basic square shapes and nothing on curved objects. I only use Corel and haven't really messed around with this program. I'm toying around with this to try and see how this can benefit me with demonstrating various types of signage with some depth. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I thought it would be in the same folder as custom media, but the GMS folder there is empty. I'd like to back them up. Can anyone tell me where they are stored (in XP)?
Thanks,
Ellen
It looks as though my transparency object is locked because I am trying to edit a bitmap file and I don't get the checkered background behind the object. Can someone tell me how I fix that please? Thanak you.
Hello!
My problem is that when I fill something with solid colour, there are pixels shown on the screen. When I save the PCX and open it in an older version of Photo-Paint the pixels are not there.
What am I doing wrong or how could I avoid this. There are no options activated as error diffusion...
We print entrance mats and have a fix palette of 44 colours and need PCX files for the machine.
Check the screenshot: space is filled with one colour but on the lower half there are pixels/dots which should not be there...
Has anyone experienced the same or can help me out?
Thanks

Hi
I'd like to start using Capture but it won't let me assign a hot key - it says "This hotkey is being used already by this system. Please choose another one"
As others have reported - you can't assign any key combination, and the application is useless.
is there a way to capture and by pass this problem?
I did find a solution on the Internet that says to uninstall SnagIt and remove references to TechSmith, but I'm reluctant to do that until I find out that Capture works.
Is there a patch I can download?
thanks Suzy
Hello,
My Photopaint X 6.3 crashes when i will load more photoframes from dvd or disk
The way: Effects-->Creative-->Frame, when i click of "More" Photopaint crashes
Corel X 6.3 - Win7 64bit
Is there any want to retain the clipping paths from certain stock photos (or any images which include paths) within either CorelDraw or Photo-Paint? Sure I can create my own or use the cutout tool, but sometimes it's nice to simply use what's already there. Just curious...
Thanks,
Addison
