Urgent matter with Corel X7!!
harryLondon said: If your object is already converted to curve Well spotted. I will pass that information to Corel. Until Corel fixes this, there's a small workround you can do. Create a new object (a rectangle will do) and select it as well as your envelope(s). This will enable the convert to curves option and it will work on the envelopes as well as the rectangle. You can then delete the rectangle. [/quote] I can also confirm this now. I had multiple types of things grouped when I was trying it so I couldn't see the problem.

Well spotted. I will pass that information to Corel.

Dear Krisada,
I am a Bio Medical Illustrator,
Yes, I have this problem in X7 when I create an object and then apply it to IET Interactive envelope tool, free hand object cannot be converted to curves using the shape tool to edit nodes I click on convert to curves tool it doesn't work. You will notice that the convert to curves is grayed out on property bar.
I notice that it doesn't work using the artistic media tool you cannot convert it to curves or break it apart. You will notice that the convert to curves is grayed out on property bar.
See if you can save a Corel X7 file to a different version like Corel X3. Does your program crash? Mine does, also sometimes unable to print a file.
I was working through this problem with one of the Corel Guru Trainers and we almost got it working good by reducing the temp files and resetting the corel X7 defaults but after I rebooted the system the problem came back.
Here are some features that were taken out after Corel X5 and X6 that I needed when I got X7:
1. Preview Blue move text and objects
2. Duplicate center line
3. Underline text cannot adjust underline spacing
Here are problems found after release Corel X7:
1. Cannot save to any Corel previous verison
2. Cannot print, sometimes.
3. Cannot turn off the new Title Drawing Bar. I want more working space on the screen.
4. Convert to curves tool is not working:
1) Artistic media tool or cannot break apart.
2) IET Interactive envelope tool, free hand object cannot be converted to curves to edit node using the shape tool
Software Enhancements:
1. Duplicate objects accurately along a path.
2. 3- Dimensional objects and text shown on organic, spherical or cylindrical shapes. Adobe Illustrator has this powerful feature.
I will keep you posted about the status of these problems. I am scheduled for a meeting by phone with a Corel Guru Trainer on Monday 12, 2014 to discuss the issues as described above.

Dear Mike,
Paul, you are repeating the same message everywhere, both in the forum and in the blog. You do not need to repeat it many times, even it could be annoying to some people. What you get is the opposite effect, since many people probably see that message and think "I've seen this before" and not pay any attention. To publish one time is enough for the Corel team take note of it.
It is also important that the message must be in the right place, if you post an answer when talking about another topic, for example when talking about "Save as old version" because that just confuses the main topic and the answers.
Is there a solution to this ongoing problem? It's been two months since this was reported.
