just happened today. Every time I create some kind of new artwork, I always export it to .jpg before sending it to the customer
for approval..Today it quit working. It goes through the routine, I click on export, pick .jpg, and the export to box comes up, but the file is not created
So I did the F8 reset which of course created a couple of new probs for me such as deleting my custom settings such as making the outline a hairline and now it defaults to .5 but it didnt
help.
Anybody have a solution for me?
Thanks
And yes I did search all over the computer for the files but they aint there
Hiya, Mike!
You might try my Quick Export macro to see if that works.
That might not be the ultimate solution to your problem - you would of course like to have CorelDRAW working 100% - and it doesn't have all of the options of the regular export dialog.
If that works, though, it might be enough to cover your "customer approval" needs.
ahhhhh, my autocad mentor. Glad to see you out there. Here's a hint: I was looking to add a "watermark' to the back of the image and according to some website, you create the image then click on the transparency tool and I think that screwed things up, but not sure.
thanks
Have you tried the macro I linked to, to see if that allows you to export as a bitmap?
Not yet. This is my employers computer so I want to try to repair first
Heard something new that you were apart of. Sorry cant find the link, but it's go to %appdata% and rename the corel draw file to old and that will fix the issue . Waiting on my employer to verify that he has the install disc

Gotcha; I understand.

You might be thinking of this thread:
CorelDraw X7 locks up when changing outline color.
That AppData CorelDRAW stuff is not part of the main CorelDRAW installation. It's associated with your particular user account on that machine.
If you rename the folder (which I would do with CorelDRAW not running), then the next time you run CorelDRAW, it should create a new folder with the original name, and populate it with all the necessary files. That would make CorelDRAW "bone stock" for you - just as if you were launching CorelDRAW for the first time on that machine.
So, pretty much the same as hitting F8 on start up?

Using F8 on startup resets the workspace to default.
Renaming that folder will do that, too - but it will also "start from scratch" a LOT of other stuff that is stored in those folders. It's a good way to take a bunch of stuff out of the picture for the sake of testing.
A nice thing about just renaming the folder is that nothing in there is actually lost. If you wanted to, you could go back to get something out of it. Or, you could delete the "new" folder and then rename the old one again to get back to where you started.
