Methods and techniques of CAD conversion CorelDRAW

Q: What are the methods and techniques for CAD file import CorelDRAW?

Excuse me: How can I input DWG file into CorelDRAW? Why does the "selected filter not enter" or "Do not support this format" appear after you enter?

A: First of all to ensure that the CD support only a format of input, CD-Common input format is: Cdr,psd,eps,wmf,ai,cmx,pdf,gif,jpeg,bmp, and so most of the picture format, and some other vector software's own format many need to convert to import the CD to use. CD in principle support DWG direct import, but the actual application can either guide but the graph error, or the title can not guide, the solution is the CAD file directly output into EPS format and then put into the CD. Note that before the output EPS CAD is first converted to white bottom display.

Theoretically CorelDRAW can draw complex engineering drawings and electronic diagrams, but its advantages are not here, this may be AutoCAD's forte. But if you want to make an illustrated document, a descriptive technical manual, or a lot of graphics for labeling and filling patterns in CorelDRAW, you'll want to swap the file in AutoCAD format with a graphics format.

After personal practice, a relatively feasible method is found preliminarily. (Source on-line)

Before explaining this method, first of all, it should be explained that theoretically CorelDRAW can be directly opened or imported *. Dwg

*. DXF and other formats of the file, but I have tried, the effect is not ideal. Even the AutoCAD Standard Graphics Interchange Format file (*. DXF file), import CorelDRAW effect is not very good, it is difficult to maintain the original AutoCAD file, sometimes even unrecognizable, such as Figure 1. At this time you can not use CorelDRAW a little bit more? If you turn to bitmap format import, the effect is not good, and the file size is too large.

So let's try the following method first. Taking AutoCAD R14 and CORELDRAW10 as an example, the basic idea is:

AutoCAD->dwg file-> exported to WMF file-> import into CorelDRAW-> further processing, converted to editable vector graphics files, as long as in the CorelDRAW handle everything, you can export into ai,ps,eps and other formats, It will be convenient to do pre-press, printing work. Well, let's go back to the more "stupid" but practical way of doing it.

1. In AutoCAD R14 drawing good graphics, tool (Tools)-> system Configuration (Preferences)-> display-> color (color), the background color into white (otherwise pasted in the picture with a pure black background), click OK ".

2. Back to the drawing window, you will find that the background has become white.

3. In order to be able to smooth and accurate display in AutoCAD, also want to enter the command viewres, set the variable, the number of its size, such as 10000. Otherwise, not only in the CAD display is not fine and smooth, import CorelDRAW graphics will be out of shape, the common is the circle into a polygon. In the command line, enter Pan (PAN)-> The right-click menu select "Zoom eextens" to place the graphic as large as possible.

4. Select the graphics to output, select Export from the File menu and choose Output as WMF file format.

5. Enter CorelDRAW and create a new document. Right-click the workspace, select "Input" (or use the shortcut key Ctrl+i), choose "WMF format" from a large list of supported file formats, pick the WMF file just exported, pull out an object frame, and import it. Somewhat unfortunate, we need the graphics and a large gap closely combined to become one (I think this is the white background in AutoCAD), white space, and editing is very inconvenient.

6. Do not discard the selection, click "Cancel Group" on the property bar (note that not all groups are canceled), separating the large white space from the useful graphics. Press ESC to cancel all selections, click to select it on the large white space of the typed WMF graphic, delete it, and remove the blanks, as shown in Figure 6. (in order to be more explicit, the white space in the diagram is already filled with blue), preserving only the useful graphic parts we need.
