The WMF files produced by Corel Draw X6 16.4.1.1281 are no longer valid.
WMF File format has always worked until this point.
The only suggestion for anyone affected that I can see is to downgrade.
Has anyone checked WMF file format output is functional (and tried to load resulting WMF file into something else that reads WMF) in the new Corel Draw X7?

The best way to follow this up is if you can post a CDR file that you think does not properly export to WMF. Then others can check it and either agree there's a problem or maybe find out why it seems to be working differently.
Hi,
I recently updated to X7. Exporting WMF from CorelDrawX7 is not proper when compared to previous version X5. Unwanted Crosslines are appearing in-between the image. WMF is upper screenshot actual output should be as below screenshot form the attachment
Exporting to EMF is proper. But the file size extremely larger when it comes to fill and larger files in corel file.
Do you have a solution?
Thanks
That is a very good example, and by adding colour to the various paths I can see exactly what the problem is:
When CorelDraw creates the WMF, it is closing open paths and hence creating the extra lines.
I will document it and pass it to Corel for investigation, but it will probably take a few months to fix.
What are you intending to do with the WMF file when you have exported it? If it is to paste into MSword or openoffice, maybe you could create EMF or WMF instead -- these seem not to have the same problem.
