Coreldraw X7 File Convert To X6
Roman Bayramdurdiyev
Vector graphics, on the other hand, store the same data as a set of mathematically defined points, lines, or shapes. The mathematical proportions allow scalability without losing image quality, making vector images best suited for most graphic design applications.
CorelDRAW provides the tools you need to vectorize an image. Below is a simple step-by-step guide on how to convert to a vector. PowerTRACE makes the image vectorization process simple, accurate, and customizable, using artificial intelligence tools to help you get the job done.
A vector graphic is an image file saved with coordinates instead of pixels. Vector images are made of shapes with coordinates, outlines, inner fill, and adjustable vertices. Because the shapes and colors are relative to each other, files are smaller and also 100% safe from both data loss and pixelation from scaling.
Ready to convert your JPEGs into new vector-style graphics and SVG files? CorelDRAW has the tools you need for conversion and can enhance your design assets and projects beyond simple file changes. As soon as your image is converted to vector detail, it will become more lightweight, scalable, and layer-design ready.
I have been trying to apply reason to this one but simply can't figure this one out. In my searches I read somewhere that SVG file created in Inkscape open very poorly in Corel Draw. However eps files & pdf files created in InkScape opens very well in Corel, particularly eps files. I have tried out what is said in the above mentioned & I know that eps files created in InkScape can open in Corel. However although I can now get an eps file re: attached imported into Corel I cannot convert the file to curves nor break it apart. Initially I was unable to import the file into Corel which I have reason to believe was due to negligence on my part i.e. I was not doing an "object to path & grouping the text" before trying to import into Corel. I have in my endeavours corrected these errors hence I can now import the image into Corel but can not convert to curves. Can someone please set me straight on this one. Am I in anyway duplicating things by doing "object to path in InkScape" & creating confusion or am I leaving out steps in the process of which I am not aware. Thanks.Mate'o 2.eps
Thank you very much for the prompt response, I will do as you've advised when I get home. During my moments of fustration, I tried viewing the file in wire frame to see if I could have seen anything irregular but to no avail. Can you tell me how you were able to see the two set of curves. Thanks.
I'm working in Inkscape exclusively but sometime people require files writen in cdr file. Is there a way to safely export from Inkscape and then import in Corel Draw? I've used Corel X3 and when I imported svg, I've get garbage (sometime it work, but most of the time I need to recreate the work in Corel Draw). Is there safe format that will work for both applications?
Found a way, Corel Draw can easily import pdf file. So in inscape you save svg as pdf, then open corel draw and import pdf. Fonts need to be copy to windows machine, but I've tested drawing where I convert all text into curves.
Save your file in pdf format in inkscape and select "Convert Text To Path" and then in Corel Draw while opening the pdf file "Import Text as Text". Actually what works here is Converting text to path in Inkscape and Import Text as Text is just, well nothing since no text is there in the pdf but only paths. This helps avoid sitautions where your imported files have weird text formatting and unwanted anomalies.
Seems no one answered this question. I found a solution....8 years later
Zamzar - video converter, audio converter, image converter, eBook converter Free converter for multiple file options that actually worked.
But you still haven't answered JETalmage's question of whether you are using compressed files (which until his post I was not even aware that CorelDraw was capable of that option for file saving) . . .
In normal cases you would simply use the Open command on the File menu to open CDR files which would then come into AI as "[converted]". Any changes made to the file would be saved as Illustrator format. But if you want to work with Corel afterwards then you would be sure to save in a lower version of AI that your version of Corel is capable of opening. Otherwise you get a "unknown file type" error, or something to that effect.
FWIW, I was trying to import an AI14 file into Corel Draw X4 this morning and kept getting a corrupted file error. This happens often when bringing in the AI files, but it's never consistent and sometimes error messages are different. I went to the X4 Help menu, updated to Service Pack 2, and then the file imported perfectly.
That's what I was trying to describe with CDRaw and AI compatibility. You needed the service pack from Corel in order for it to read the newer AI files. Otherwise you would have only been able to open AI CS3 files and below.
As we are migrating from Corel Draw to Indesign we came up to a very annoying situation. We have some designs in Coreldraw (streetmaps for example), drawn in vector format and layered with text.When we want to import these content into Indesign, the designs are bitmapped and in very bad shape. Does anybody has some tips for me to convert them - it will be a one time conversion - not many things to convert but far too much for complete redesigning.Would it help if we purchase Illustrator?Thanks

I would want to migrate my art to Illustrator, then put it together with
text in Indesign. Or just keep CorelDraw for the art, and put the art
together with text in Indesign.--

I get your point, but it is even worse than you imagine. Actually we are not migrating from apples to oranges, we used oranges to plant apples. We were using Coreldraw for designing a newspaper, and that is exactly what we want to change now by using Indesign.2)
We tried many different ways, exporting into all possible vector based file formats. When I import them to -let's say- Flash, most of the conversion works. When I do a 'place' in Indesign the whole dump gets bitmapped.Anyway I'll try to find a version of Illustrator.Thanks for the help!

How I turn high quality display on? Is this necessary with vectorized objects anyway?I admit we tried to copy and paste first, but after that we tried to export from Coreldraw into .eps .ai .wmf .emf .swf and placed them but all of them give either no either bitmapped result.Thanks

Hmmm. I'm going to take that to mean that you tried everything and
nothing worked so you're copying and pasting.The reason nothing works is because you want one export/import format
that handles both text and art. You won't find one (at least one that
gets you something editable). Export your text as RTF and Place that in
Indesign. Export your art as EPS or PDF and Place that in Indesign, or
save it down to CDR 10, open it directly in Illustrator, save to AI and
Place in Indesign.Either way, everything should be Placed in Indesign, not pasted. And if
it still looks bad, turn on High Quality Display, or print it, or Export
it to PDF.
I can't vouch for SWF, and I would advise against using metafiles, but
the first four, if properly made, should give you vector images, at
least to the extent that they were already vectors. *Seeing* a good
image onscreen is going to require high quality display. *Printing* a
good image, for EPS and AI, is going to require a Postscript printer, or
taking the image through PDF.The trouble with all of these is that they're graphic formats. Once
you're fully migrated to Indesign, you want text + graphics.Since you now have Illustrator, you should be able to open your CDR
files directly in Illustrator. Depending on the complexity of the
drawings, you may be able to then copy and paste from Illustrator into
Indesign, but if you want the full range of Illustrator's capabilities,
you should save drawings as AI and Place them in Indesign.
InDesign needs the original file for printing and exporting to PDF; the only thing stored in the ID file is its bitmap preview. Contrary to what you might believe at the mo', it is not actually necessary to work in high quality mode. The file itself will not be altered by any view quality setting. However, if you cannot provide a valid link to it at print time, ID will roll its metaphorical eyes, complain a bit about missing files, and then print the preview bitmap.It works the other way around as well: if you switch to HQ preview and images still look downsampled, pop up the links panel and check.
