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.

I think you could do that, but I'm describing X6 so you may have to make some adjustments for X5:
This allows you to edit with the default as white on black.
Then when you print go to the prepress tab and select invert in paper and film settings, so that it prints as black on white,
There is a limitation with this method: if your design page is smaller than your printer page, the area outside the page will print as black. You can fix that by adding a large, locked, black rectangle behind all your objects.
This works, but on my printer the white is coming out slightly grey. So you may need to experiment with colour management (possibly, turn it off) to get the best print using this method.
Try it with some simple documents first, in case the results are not what you expect. And remember that there will be limitations -- for instance, you will probably not be able to export to other formats using this method.
