intuos 5 corel paint for creating logo's

george101 — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 22:25:30 GMT

I have just purchased an intuos touch 5 which came with bundled software including corel paint.

I am wanting to know how I can add text to my pages with this application.

I have a mac book pro and am wanting to create story book pages and logo's.

I have worked out the basics but cant seem to find access to text any where.

Any advise greatly appreciated.

Thanks

nothing?

I just now noticed after all these years this Technical Illustration and documentation section, and no posts? That's disappointing!

Anyone have anything?

PDF Fusion question

robert952 — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:16:08 GMT

I was pointed to this forum by folks over at the Corel audio-visual forum... so maybe this is the place to ask. If not, please suggest somewhere else I can try to find my answer. I don't see a lot of posts on PDF Fusion so I am probably still in the wrong place.

I installed Corel PDF Fusion as a trial with the task of evaluating for use in our department. Since it is a trial version (unregistered) I can't use the normal email customer service help system at Corel. I didn't find the answers in the help file nor via the knowledge base.

Hopefully, I can get a couple answers in this forum as I evaluate the software (which will only take a couple days at most). And I don't think I will have many questions as the software seems quite intuitive.

But I may need to address workflow items (however minor)and want to discover them as I go through this evaluation process.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you folks in this forum can provide.

Question 1: Is there a way to show a two-up view with cover?

In Acrobat (particularly Reader) you have the option of two-up view. Checking the "show cover" option you see the file as it will be printed. It is important that a user quickly check to see that all chapters start on an odd page number and insert a 'blank page' as needed to insure we meet this 'standard' which is easy enough to do in the assembly process. So, I am looking for more of a WSYIWIG view before we print the documents. (Am I aging myself using that acronym? )

Question 2: How do you keep font attributes when correcting text?

Example: Importing a .docx or .pptx into Fusion and correcting a letter in a word doesn't retain the attribute (lose the bold attribute, for example). Normal text is ok, but then, it's normal with no real attributes. I understand that based on proportional letters corrections may not fit cleanly into the given space. Maybe what I am attempting isn't possible. The promo video implies I should be able to do this task - but I used to work in marketing before working in our training department - so I know what you see isn't always the complete story. (BTW - If it matters - using Office 2007 as mainstay tool box.)

That's the two questions for now. Hopefully I won't have many more. The software seems quite intuitive and easy to adapt to our work flow. Sadly, even though the users are trainers, we seem to be the toughest group when it comes to learning new things.

Thanks again for any assistance.

using 2D Coreldraw images to create 3D animations

stuck — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 20:55:32 GMT

I have created a series of geographical contour maps using Coreldraw, I would now like to turn these into 3d animations, can anyone recommend the right software?

More generally, I am planning a complex 3d animation project which will all be new territory for me. I imagine the process will start with the production of detailed 2d vector drawings which can be rendered into 3d models?

Can coreldraw (software I am very familiar with) play a part or must I rely solely on the 3d graphics software I ultimately end up using?

Many thanks.

Hello all!

I need to make/draw an illustration of 5 hexagons within a hexagon, with each side numbered 1 to 6 (in the same order so that hexagon A's side 1 corresponds to hexagon B's number 1) and also need to label each hexagon as Zone A to Zone E.

Please suggest the appropriate software to draw this easily as I can.

Kind regards

Comparison - CorelDraw Graphics Suite X4 and Corel Designer Technical Suite 12

gdarceneaux — Thu, 29 May 2008 15:54:56 GMT

Not sure if this is the correct forum, so if it's not I apologize in advance, but it seemed the most logical.

Suppose you have several thousand files that were originally done in Micrografx Graphics Suite 2.0 (*.dsf files), and are finally looking to upgrade into a newer program. Both CorelDraw and Designer are able to open / use the *.dsf format so what is the pros and cons of each product compared to the other in handling files of this nature, other than a ~$300 or so price difference? Any information that you can provide me to assist in my decision making will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Glenn Arceneaux

Hi all,

I am using WinDVR3 as my TV tuner software. This works well with Windows XP service Pack2. But in Vista it loads the video but it crashes the operating system after some time. The software specification they have given is excluding vista, Can anyone suggest how i can fix the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Training needed with Technical Illustrators in mind

Lettuce — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 12:12:49 GMT

Howdy y'all-

I will be leaving my current position in a couple of weeks. I have done my best (in 4 days) to train my replacement, a non-graphics person. Also, I have tried to back up the knowledge base by giving some training to a few of the engineering personnel. My boss thinks it would be a good idea to get a trainer in-house to give some more formal instruction, but we haven't had a lot of luck coming up with anybody with a manufacturing background.

Anybody???

Thanks.
