Title: Creating Scroll Saw patterns with Corel Draw (Portraits)
Post by: Bayman on October 27, 2015, 03:07:20 pm

I have watched the video that Steve did:  "Creating Scroll Saw patterns with Corel Draw (Portraits)", and was trying to get it to work in CorelDraw X7, but when I click or double click on the Picture it doesn't automatically go into CorelDraw Photo-Paint, in fact it doesn't go anywhere.....have anyone else experienced this problem.....

Go to Tools on the top bar and click. You will see a drop down window, click on Customization. Another widow will appear. On the left side you will see a list of Customization's you can make. Click on Edit and the right widow will change. At the bottom you will see three check boxes. Make sure "Double-click to edit bitmaps in PHOTO-PAINT" is checked.

Hope this helps,
Russ

Russ, many thanks, much appreciated.....

Does Photo-Paint or Corel Draw somehow highlight the pieces that will drop out if cut?

Unfortunately no... I wish it did....That is something you have to figure out on your own... :(
