Corel: Anyone know how AutoClose works?
Hi
This has been something that catches me out time and time again.The autoclose node button always screws up, anyone actually know how to use it correctly?
I can click each node and fix but its time consuming

looks like you did one side then mirrored so you could reverse the direction of one side, that will help.
or some times overlap the joints buy a fraction and weld.it can be a pain any other ideas please

I have a look at curve fx, see what it has as i see the page ses ‘close shape’
Chris, problem is just one that crops up time and time again on supplied cad files

DXF files often come here as hundreds of short lines, I also found that eps files from Signlab would sometimes have the first and last node on top of each other – not closed and an autoclose would not work as expected. AI from SL normally cures.
Dave Let us know how you get on.

yep thats how it works mate.. but what i found is a lot of bother with the DXF/DWG filters in corel as they are not reliable. Corel is tracing the curves and working out where they go, so end up with a mess.
but in Autocad you can export as EPS/postscript in the earlier version and that exports fine (except it shrunk!), so then I just import into Corel with PS filter and it reads but doesn’t join, which is kinda correct as autocad doesn’t do shapes really, it does mainly lines intersecting etc.

yes thats the problem i have, normally end up redrawing most of it, if its just for printing you can tell corel to fill unclosed loops but not 100% reliable.
x3 has a snap to line feature which helps a lot when redrawing on top
