bitmap

[allyna]

Corel Draw 8. I created a flyer in made the mistake of
: converting it to a bitmap (I save it as a bitmap). I
: wasn't finished with the design/changing fonts etc.
: and I can't figure out how to get it back in a
: vecter format. I don't even know if it can be done.
: If anyone out there knows the answer, please advise.
: Thank you

as far as I know, you should still have the vector file somewhere. Look
for .bak files created at the time you were working on the flyer. Draw
should not lock the image in the workspace into a bitmap like that, any
bitmap created should be only an exported file.

You can debate "should" all you want, but Convert to Bitmap does indeed
destroy any vector info about the selected object(s). If the file is still
open and not yet saved, Undo can rescue the vector data; otherwise, only a
backup file will do the job.

Ah, since I am still using version 6, and this is the draw6 group, I am
of course talking out my behind with regard to newer versions...
