I've spent a lot of time getting my workspace where I like it in X6. When I export it the only available format is to a .xslt file. However, when I try to imort it into X7, I get this message "Valid workspace file not found at the path specified".
The X7 import shows the ability to select .cdws, .xslt, .cwf and .cfg formats, but it will not import the .xslt from X6.
Help would be very appreciated.

Workspaces were completely rebuild for X7 and therefore you cannot move previous versions of workspaces forward to X7.
Get a nice large cup of coffee or soda, lock yourself in a room and you can have your shiny new X7 workspace knocked out in an hour, maybe two if you go nuts.

Now I'm curious. Why have the import options at all if X7 can't import 'em? Why SAY you can but then find out you can't?
Anna, I share your frustration. I once spent a couple of hours creating the workspace that works for me. I was thinking like you are, but some of the posts made me realize: You can't apply a workspace from x6 to x7 if things are rearranged in x7 and if x7 has things in it that x6 "never knew about." That just can't work.
I think the answer to your question is you can import, but only into the same version. This is certainly useful if you have to do a reinstall, or to copy your work workspace to home (if the Corel license still allows you to instlall at home). Hope this makes sense.
I don't have x7 at this point, but I thought if I do I'd keep x5 (what I have now) to look at while I create new workspaces in x7.
We went from X5 to X7 at my job and it was a salutary shock to find that we couldn't import the workspace. I didn't have a particular issue with rebuilding it, but as has been pointed out, many of us set up our shiny new Corel version upgrade with exported workspaces to get us up and running for years. As often as Corel X7 crashes and as many times as I've had to do the F8 restart, though, I'll be d*mned if I'm rebuilding that workspace from scratch three times a week. I've got my setup exported and I've had to reimport that a dozen times since we installed X7 just to get back to work quickly.
