Can I export microstation files to Corel Draw ?

No,
export to dxf, and then import in Corell.

Problems with curves and ellipses !! unless latest version of Corell
can handle v14

Thomas,

Have you ever printed and emf file and opened it in Corel?
Might not be an everyday solution, but once in a while

Birgit,
Using the Print/Plot from microstation, try these in this order
CGM.plt, Jpeg.plt and EMF. plt. The last two are images and you may have
to fiddle (Hi Sam) with the resolution to give a balance between
readability and file size. I prefer CGM as it gives me vector data and
seems to work well (M/Sation SE - Corel 7, 8)

No, my experience with dgn to corell is 3 4 years back.

Perhaps the proper answer to Birgit should be to investigate import
capabilities of Corell, and then look in ustn.

One thing to keep in mind though is if the corell side needs vektor
editing.

And curves !! I found no solution to that when I tried. Perhaps it is
different now.

PS to Birgit
Have you tried COPY PASTE.

You also might like to try saving the file as a .cgm file which can be
opened directly by Corel.

A way that worked for me was exporting as CGM then importing into
corel. this was with msV95 into corel V7. This kept the
curves/linestrings looking normal, but had to create separate cgm
files each layer in corel.

Hi, I do this quite often in doing presentation graphics for our office.

I find the CGM option often works well, so does the DWG/DXF. Also plotting
the file as a HPGL2 file with a PLT extension works quite well (it can be
imported into CorelDaw). The Method we use most though is to print as
postscript, then using Adobe Acrobat (if you have it) to convert the
postscript file to a PDF file. This can then be opened and edited within
Corel Draw with no problems. This also has the advantage of maintaining
filled shapes and colours.
