I have read a lot on How to convert a ".PDF" to a ".cdr". I've tried using the Import function and a routine called "Cool PDF Reader".Both of these work fine if you are converting a "simple" (one idea) drawing. However,my problem is none of these routines do an "un-weld".
To give an example of what I may want to do is: I came across a ".pdf" file that had some artwork designed to be a scroll saw template. I can bring them into Corel Draw and do several things. The art work was a circle that had lettering on the outside curve of the circle. I wanted to change the wording. I went to the Corel Draw menu Arrange>Shaping and brought up the sub-menu. Weld was enabled but UnWeld was not.
Is there any way, any routine that will allow you to un-weld a graphic?
Thanks,
Sam
Hi Sam I am not 100% sure exactly what you mean but try this.
Right click on the graphic and click "Break Curve Apart"....or Ctrl K for shortcut.
This will break all attached objects apart but will also separate and middles of letters, a O or 0 will become to circles (inner and outer)...if that makes sense.
Hope that helps.

I have attached an example: the attached .cdr was a ".pdf" file that I Imported into Corel Draw. What I would like to do is change the wording "Scroll Saw Artist" to "Wood Art by Sam". I am trying to un-weld the current wording so that the change can be done. If you or anyone can help, it would be immensely appreciated.
