Open .vlm-File with CorelDraw

Hi Everybody,

The last years i used to draw graphs with the program called "Vellum". Now i would like to use CorelDraw and open some existing Vellum-files with CorelDraw. The format of Vellum-files is "*.vlm" - unfortunately it is not possible to open/import vlm-files with CorelDraw.

Lately i used the new version of Vellum (Cobalt Share V8 Sp1) where the drawing can be exported for example as a "*.dwg-file". I am able to import this file with CorelDraw but the drawing is different. For example some former arrows are converted into normal lines or text is at a different position and other format-errors.

I would like to know if there is a possibility to open *.vlm-files with CorelDraw without the graph beeing different afterwards.

Thanking you in anticipation

  • Out of curiosity...Can the original file be converted into  "curves" prior to saving in the (newer) dwg file format ? Every app uses a different process for generating the inage file and (full) compatability will always be an issue. "Curves" does away with the text formating and (possible) app specific designs for lines / arrowheads etc.
     
    Do you have Draw Designer ? Does it open properly in that ? (try the trial version and see if it works)
