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
I'm looking around, I dont see a "selected only'. But no matter.. When I draw something, as in my case, aircraft dial faces, i export them to .jpg and insert them in an email to the customer for approval. Right now, starting last Monday, I cant export to anything-jpg, png, gif, etc. my files are really smail, less than a meg sometimes. I've been doing this for almost 20 years and why an aspect of the program quits on me is a head scratcher.
Thanks for your feedback
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.
I had this problem many years ago, it was caused by Windows 120mps.dll, or so, it slipped my memory till now, so I cannot remember right details. I had to reinstall that Windows 7. Have a look at forum, it has been resolved here yet.
