    Pretty annoying export problem (and a zoom one as well)

    Hello, everyone. I'm having this hyper-annoying problem with X4 here, where when you export something it would sometimes just act like there is nothing to export. The size in the export dialog would be something like 0,016 x 0,016 and nothing happens when I click through.

    In some instances this could be fixed by finding some offending object and either curving or deleting it, but now it seems to pop up more often and nothing helps - if I duplicate to a new page - still there, crop it - still there, copy and paste into a new document - still there, delete everything and draw some new shape - still there.

    Any ideas?

    Also, there is one more annoying thing which sometimes pops up - if I double-click the zoom tool (or press F4) it just zooms out to some crazy amount and pops up a window stating that the maximum zoom out has been reached. However, should I switch to wireframe it does zoom to my objects and nothing else. Selecting all shows no objects outside and cropping doesn't help either.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Everbody,

    I can confirm this weird behavior ... firstly I thought it was an ID-10-T, or some other error from my side as X4 is my first Corel Draw experience ... then a friend and collegue approached me, who has X2, and I explained that when I copy and paste my Corel Draw image into Corel PhotoPaint, it is one very long line ... he said that I selected a line or somethine very wide instead of the whole image ... so I gave him the raigns and after a minute or two, he copied the image to his computer and X2 did not do the weird scaling/image resizing copy/paste bug ...

    After playing for several minutes, I realized that I can "jinx" the copy/paste bug into at least givin me a rather smallish picture when I select everything in Corel Draw, copying it, and selecting Paste from Clipboard in Corel Photo Paint and then selecting the width measurements as millimeters (this gives me the biggest picture), and then select the scalling as 0%. I now increase the scaling until the scaling suddenly jumps to some crazy incorrect values, and I use the scaling that was correct just before the weird numbers ... very annoying indeed, but my boss needs a picture, and telling him that is R3500.00 worth of product can't export what he requires did not go very well :) ... at least the initial pictures was big/bug enough :)

    Anyway, I hope they fix this annoying bug soon ...

     

    EDIT: PS. Copying and Pasting the image from Corel Draw into Microsoft Word 2003 or Microsoft Powerpoint 2003, crashes Corel Draw and gives some weird message regarding the destination application waiting for the source application ...
