I'm working with older Corel documents. Some are many pages. The drawings have maybe over 100 object styles within them. Is there a way to remove all of them without creating a new document and copying the drawings? I can't import because all of the styles come back. Thanks.
Hi,Trying to delete all object styles is ridiculously insane!You can try this maneuver. A little bit tricky but it works. You'll have to consider that this might be a tedious process but in time, it will be resolved.I've lived this living hell months ago. With the BETA team, we've come up with a solution.Many object styles tend to slow down CorelDRAW to an impossible level!FIRST STEPS• Create an BRAND NEW CorelDRAW file• Locate the file, where you saved it and rename the file to .ZIP file.• Open the zipped file. From there you 'll notice all the elements that compose your CDR file.• Locate de Styles folder. In this folder you should find a .CDSS file.• Extract this file and save to a folder of your liking.• You can delete the .ZIP file.EFFECTIVE STEPS• Locate the .CDR file you want to 'correct'. (you can copy this file for safety reasons, if you like)• Rename the file to .ZIP file.• Open the zipped file. Locate de Styles folder. In this folder you should find a pretty heavy .CDSS file.• Delete the .CDSS file and replace with the new .CDSS file you extracted from the other .ZIP file of the FIRST STEPS• Once the new .CDSS file is now in the .ZIP file, close it and rename it back to .CDR• Try your new corrected file.This procedure works. We haven't found a more faster or risk free way of solving this issue.There exists a macro that coreect this but when there are too many styles saved in the file, CorelDRAW freezes and crashes.Good luck!
It worked! Thank you!
No problem.I know it's complex, but after all, it's the fastest and most effective method.Keep your blank .CDSS file stored. It'll be useful for eventual changes!
