Hello,
we use CorelDraw X5 to make cartographies on building plans with several layers of - mostly - polylines drawings (one layer = one building material type or one weathering form type) and we must give them back to architects who use AutoCAD.
We already tried several times to export the .cdr to .dxf or .dwg files, but till now, the architect seems to be able to open the files, but our cartographie is quite illegible: only some parts of the layers are visible and it seems that some layers are not visible at all...
Does someone can first tell me if the exportation .cdr to .dxf/.dwg is really possible?
If it's possible, does someone can explain me how to exactly do? (the help doesn't help me at all till now...)
Thanks,
Bénédicte
I tried is great as cdr...
Hello; I would try converting a copy of the Corel file to curves. Importing a AutoCAd DFX file Draw, None of the nodes are joined in a file made in a older DXF file so you have to weld them. AutoCad have been around before the 90's, but have always given good support for the software.

Well I already exported as DXF or DWG. The file was very simple (just one circle for testing). When I import it into an empty AutoCAD file it is not round. When I reimport the file into Corel it is a perfect circle. So it must be a problem of AutoCAD but I hope that someone maybe knows a workaroung or has some kind of hint.
Hello FloM; That's the way AutoCad does arks ( at least up to Ver. 10 for DOS.) You can go to the AutoCad web site or look in the book that came with the programs it is explained.
I tried again right now. It works. Maybe it is because of the new CorelDraw X7 or AutoCAD LT 2013, which we both updated.
