I'm using Corel Draw 10 and when I import any eps or ai files and want to place them on my page it won't show anything. they just disapear. I then go to edit select all object and there is nothing there. I'm on a sony vaio laptop with Vista. When I used this same program on my old desktop (rip) with windows xp I never had a problem like that.
Files I export as eps then I can later import them without a problem. Other peoples files I have trouble with.
Can somebody give me a hand with this problem?
Thanks
Which Illustrator Version Files are u trying to import? Corel 10 is too old to import even Illustrator 9 and 10 files forget about CS3 and CS4. It's time to upgrade to corel X3 or X4 now.
Not sure how to tell what version they were created with. Like you said I guess it's time to upgrade.
It's just hard to justify upgrading for that only reason.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
When we try to import/open any files{pdf, eps, ai, cdr, ...} that are created in some higher version of software released after Coreldraw 10, though it tends to open that file but doesn’t really imports any objects. So the resultant is just a blank file showing nothing but a blank page.
To solve this you will have to upgrade to some of the latest version of Coreldraw (X3 or X4).

Corel could fix that by giving an option of updating the import filterts for older versions, rather than upgrading the program itself. I've been a corel user since 1, but since I only use it for light duty and between versions there aren't that much upgrades that are usefull for me, I just don't see the pay off.
Also if I could have an option to buy draw only that would be nice. There is no need for the whole suit.
Corel doesn't have time to support the older versions, They are always looking into the future.

it's not a time problem, several times Corel updates older versions, for example, the ServicePack 2 of CorelDRAW X3 brings an update for X3 users for Windows Vista (Vista doesn't exists whne X3 was released). But sometimes to update an older version requires a lot of work
