Is that the same Sean who used to work for Granthams? if so I can also vouch for him, always had good service and I have had no issues with their ink which may well be the same.
I'm a Corel Draw man but a couple of programes worthy of note if your needs or budget don't warrant the expense are Inkscape (mentioned earlier) which is free, a little clonky to use but perfectly...
Possible something for future maybe at least this way you only draw the template once ever and that can be done in seconds as opposed to entering numbers each time. I guess you pay your money (or...
You can use any shape you have drawn as your target shape, you don't need one from a manufacturer, I just used the Listawood one because I use their mugs and they sent it to me. It does need to be...
The Student version do not usually have VBA and its the vba that allows the plotting utility macros to work so you may not be able to cut directly from Draw. I'm not sure if you can export as eps or...

OK, I've just looked at your video and no the envelope tool doesn't work like that. Using a template supplied...
I'm not familiar with SCAL. Envelope is very much a visual tool with the ability to use an existing shape as your envelope shape. The video shows the bitmap template as supplied from Listwood, I'm...
I think what you are describing is just a basic drop shadow which would require you to weld if outputting to a plotter. The new block shadow tool gives more of an 'extrude' type shadow and enables...
Hi Logobear, not possible to lock the file format as new features mean you can't support everything in all versions. Upgrading really depends on what you use Corel Draw for as there are so many...
X8 is out of date, version 2017 followed that but X8 is still a very strong version. This latest version is stronger still with some good extras and there is a 15 day trial available to download....
I've not posted for a while but thought I'd share that the new Corel Draw suite has just been released. I have had the privilege to test this over the past few months and it has a number of...
Very true but later versions do have updated import and export filters and operate better in newer operating systems especially 64 bit. Later versions also have better colour management. Anybody...
Quite possibly and for those who have never used macros it is worth doing a google search as there are hundreds out there - notably www.macromonster.com or www.oberonplace.com but many more. Some...
To be fair you can manage pretty well without VBA if you are just printing but macros can add so much more funtionality
I'm pretty sure in saying that home and student versions do not include VBA (Visual Basic) therefor macros and more important plotter cutting utilities may not work. You should be able to print and...
Font maybe used elsewhere in the file. I use pstill. From pstill.com, sorts virtually all pdf issues.

Make sure nothing is pressing on the space bar
I would be interested, I have both X5 and X7 (and X6 for that matter) on this machine so I can at least compare display colours. Any information is useful regarding colour model and settings.
I'm not aware of problems exporting files although certainly some users experienced colour issues with earlier versions. The colour management was completely revamped for X5 and onwards, doing away...
I think of macros for Draw as a an untapped resource as not many people seen to know about them and they can add so much to Draw. VBA is required and that is NOT included in Student versions (not...
Should be www.Oberonplace.com
I have been a Corel Draw user since V2 and I am currently a beta tester. I'd be happy to talk you through stuff. The Draw Suite comes with PhotoPaint, Connect, loads of fonts and I think in this...
In Corel if you want to cut an outline you add a CONTOUR - for printing you can also use outline (outline is bitmap only) but remember that an outline will straddle the actual line so effectively...
From what I've seen both machines are excellent, I've hade prints from the BN on garment film and I think all printed stuff can fade over time (not unexpected) laminated printed stickers are very...
