I do beer signs for a living. Sometimes I like to import other coreldraw files into my current work to take designs off of them, such as a curve or a portion of text. I then delete the unused parts. The problem is that whenever I do this, it makes the save file huge!
You can test this. Open an empty coreldraw file. Drag a few .cdr's into it. Delete everything you imported. Save the empty file. It will be the size of all those .cdr's combined!
Is this a bug or something I can fix?
Hello Shadowing; A man after my own hart. ( BEER ) I don't know why you are having that problem, BUT you can try grouping what you want to save and using the "Save As" and and select the"Selected only.

Doing that works. Not as easy as ctrl-s. Can you guys reproduce this? Each service pack I hope it gets fixed but it doesn't.
You can put a icon on the menu to go to Save As, and I'd think there is a macro to do it in one click.
Using a macro to save as-selected only would be fantastic. It would ensure minimum file sizes. I still would like to know if you guys can reproduce the issue, it does it every single time.

I cannot reproduce this. Could you upload file for check.

I only a saw a few K of change in the way I saved a file. Like Mek said how about post a file.
Try it importing big .cdr files, over 50MB. I think it has to do with that. Uploading file now, will be a minute.
