    Good Day Dear residents and new participants of CorelDraw COMMUNITY.

  • Can't rename object

    Any suggestions?

  • Objects to Different Pages

    Can anyone help me find a solution to this task? A macro or native in Corel that can do this easily?

    I want to make a selection of objects, and move them to their own individual pages. Here's a video that hopefully explains it better.

    Thanks!

  • I can't figure out how to see objects or parts of objects outside the page. I see mention of "Object Manager". I have no "Object Manager".

    This concerns Corel Photo-Paint 2021.

    I've spent well over 3 hours looking for something that should be, must  be, very simple, and haven't found it yet.

    This isn't the first time I've looked for this same info. I think the first time I gave up…

  • SVG file imported as a group

    I imported an SVG file into CorelDRAW. When selected, it's identified as a "group of one object". After ungrouped, it's identified as "#000000fe".

    Sorry, but a group of one object only sounds nonsense to me. And would you please…

  • Saved Search

    I saved a search for all red objects (for example) and a search for all 20% black objects. How does one  use these saved searches? Does one have to make a macro?

  • Objects outside print area group to current page.

    I am wondering if anyone knows how to keep object from grouping to the current page it's on while outside the print media page. In 2018 I could move business cards off the page and switch pages to move them to different pages. I would just hit center…

  • Rectangle size is smaller on the monitor (ruler missmatch)

    I'm creating a rectangle and then change its size typing the dimensions (mm) on the tool bar, lets say 170mm width.

    If I place a ruler on my monitor screen its about 150mm! (zoom level 100%) On a random ruler webpage things look fine.

    What do i miss…

  • Default initial zoom to fit all objects?

    Once you open a new file CDRAW the default zoom shows you the page, but as I usually work outside of it it'd be much more practical for me to get all the objects centered in view without having to click F4. I sometimes have to open many old files at a…

  • My BIGGEST wish for CorelDraw X9 right now. Just this one little thing. Please. I beg you.

    I'm learning that one of the hardest things to illustrate digitally is ... wait for it... wait for it...

    spaghetti

    Every time I try, with either coreldraw or illustrator, they both fail miserably.
    If you want to make it a thousand times easier…

  • RE: Layers not printing

    Since you're using multiple layers, are ALL the objects you want to print on the same layer or do you have some objects on locked layers or non-printing layers? You need to examine your OBJECT MANAGER DOCKER (WINDOW > DOCKER >OBJECT MANAGER) to see that…

  • RE: X8 is printing a bounding box around bitmap and psd files with the Background removed.

  • Object fill obscures text within object

    When the user inserts text within an object (rectangle for example) in CorelDraw X7, and then gives the object a fill color, it obscures the text.  It seems to possibly be an issue of the default text frame being created behind the object instead of in…
