Re: Trace outline in Corel

We sometimes get asked how to vectorise a file from CorelDraw so that it can be saved as an EPS format file and then imported into specific cutting software. We don't use Corel but I believe it is done with a trace command. So the question, for the benefit of many (hopefully), is how is this done? If someone has the time can they do a simple video (like Paul did on PhotoShop) or show various screen dumps of the process? If not then plain old english step by step process with do... ;)

I often used the trace function in corel but unfortunately when i try to use it now i get an error message and the function is no longer available. Very odd!

I have had trouble with my corel for sometime now and this is the latest issue so unfortunately can't help.

But I would be interested if anyone knows why a function option would stop working if anyone knows.

Also watching with interest.
