Corel Draw X4

[Juli in Kona]

I brought a jpg into Corel X4 and did a vector trace (Quick Trace) and it worked really well - for my purposes. I deleted the jpg and saved as a cdr. Now it won't come into DS Pro+ V9. The error message reads Unable to load graphic. This has got to be a simple thing I am doing or not doing. I need a little help. How do I get a cdr file into DS? Thanks

Never mind - I figured it out Copy and paste. How strange.

Juli,

Design Shop Pro+ can open files directly from Corel Draw, but you have to save them as Corel Draw version 9 or later. In you save as screen in Corel there is a drop down window that lets you select the file format version of the drawing.

One thing that I have had trouble with when trying to insert the Corel into a project that has started is that Design Shop Pro+ seems to get confused and seems to try to vectorize existing bitmaps. My solution was to open the Corel draw file in a seperate project, digitize that portion and save. Then insert it as an embroidery file into my project.

Hope this helps. I will post a neat trick about this in a seperate post.
