Getting vector graphic from Corel Draw into Inkscape
by Sebastian Noack 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hi, I got a CDR file from a customer. I have a copy of Corel Draw 11. So I opened the file in my version of Corel Draw and exported it as CGM, according to the Inkscape FAQ. But I can't open the CGM file generated by Corel Draw 11 in ooimpress. Then I tried to export it as SVG and AI file (Version 7). I had to note that this what Corel calls SVG should rather be called Corel-XML because it is completely incompatible with any other SVG-Viewer/Editor. Firefox just showes an error message about an unknown namespace, Imagemagick could just render aprox. 10% of the graphic, but Inkscape still does a relative good job, by rendering aprox. 85% of the vector graphic. I was already able to open SVG files generated by Corel Draw, which contains just a few trivial objects, in inksape without problems. But if the graphic is a little bit more comlex than just a converted text, you can forget Corel Draw's SVG encoding, if you intend to open it by something else than Corel Draw itself. Inkscape claims to be able to import Adobe Illustrtor. But in my case it failed. I think either Corel Draw generates similar crap when genereating AI files as when generating SVG files or Inkscape is just incompatible with Version 7 of Adobe Illustrator. So, is there any known reliable method, which works to get a vector graphic from Corel Draw into Inkscape? And which version of adobe Illustrtor is supported by Inkscape? Regards Sebastian Noack

Sidebar with palettes and dialogs instead of scattered windows?
by Thorsten 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hi, I'm almost certain that I'm not the first person to ask/request this, but I'll dare none-the-less: How about having a sidebar in Inkscape in which one can reveal/hide the palettes/dialogs like layers, alignment, color swatches, etc.? I constantly find myself faced with numerous open palettes/dialogs and the F12 key doesn't really cut it for me in that regard. Any comments?

Text to path question
by unknown＠example.com 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hi I'm new here so hello. I can't find any posting guidelines, so apologies if I transgress any boundaries. I've looked in the help, the wiki, the faq, and several in the Linux User Group have had a go at this, and we can't work it out. If you download the file here <http://www.johnallsopp.co.uk/logoTest/>*, you'll see I've got text around a circle. The top text is fine, but the bottom text I want to read from left to right. I've tried all types of transformation, I've tried drawing the circle differently. I haven't tried making a separate path with a matching curve, so I suppose that might work but it's a kludge. Is there a proper way to do this or isn't it possible? Thanks in advance. J * just opening it in Firefox shows no text, I had to save it and open it in Inkscape.

I can't find them in the fill-dialog (Screenshot: http://www.thomas-zastrow.de/temp/screenshotInkscape.jpg). Or Am I to stupid ..?? Thanks for your help!

Recent Win32 builds?
by Arnout Standaert 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

Hello list, I'm just wondering where to find up-to-date Inkscape builds for Windows. There have been a few Windows-specific fixes lately, so I'm curious to see all the new stuff that has been introduced. The last "daily" build I can find via the homepage (http://inkscape.org/download/) dates back to October 25th, and has the recently discussed "freeaddrinfo" crash bug on startup, so it's unusable for me. Any pointers would be much appreciated, Arnout

Bulia? Others? Well, that's a different sense of "registration mark", but in fact I do know a number of folks who would like a crop mark feature. -mental
