Does anyone know how to avoid this warning popping up when I import certain CorelDraw files into another CorelDraw document?
Open the file and copy and paste the content should work.
Unfortunately that's not an option David.
Yeah, I want to just import the document without bringing in the styles. We have a lot of really old documents with disastrous style sets that somehow have been carried over for years. Upwards of 300 styles. I want to import just the artwork and hate this dialog box.
I have to import upwards of 850 files each month and to have this box pop up on approx half of the files when they come in!
Not to be one of those I told you so guys but many years ago there was a discussion on the possibility of this problem.
Because of the above I don't use styles so I don't have this down perfectly but I believe there was a method developed to remove styles. If that would help. Not sure it would be easier than just clicking and going on but searching here in this forum might help
The solution is cumbersome but quick.
1)Create a new "untitled" document with the styles you want.
2)Save it somewhere convenient.
3)Rename "untitled.cdr" to "untitled.zip"
4)Open "untitled.zip", open Styles, extract "document.cdss" somewhere.
5)Close and delete "untitled.zip"
6)Change "(target).cdr" to "(target).zip"
7)Open "(target).zip", open Styles, drag in previously extracted "document.cdss" file into folder and overwrite the one that is there.
8)Close "(target).zip" and rename back to "(target).cdr"
9)Open and Styles should be what you want.
Thank you Ruckstande, I've just tried it but the warning box still pops up when importing files that (in hindsight) have differing style sheets to the target file. I guess this may stop the box popping up with new files going forward but it won't solve the issue with importing existing files.
Thanks for the input though.
Are you importing files into the same drawing template each time?
