  • Corel X3 Outline problem, help please.

    Posted by Cheryl Smith on March 24, 2012 at 6:04 am

    I bought x3 and a there seems to be a glitch and its driving me mad!
    ive drawn solid curved object and another one to go indide…. Id usually combine the two to get the smaller one to cut out of the larger….but no…not working, when I fill, both objects still fill…ive also tried the trim tool to no avail… if I try putting an outline on said object it also says contour offset too large…when it is clearly not…. it also seems to be creating a new object by itself too…I know that can be a problem if you have more than one…

    honestly this should have been a three min job ….
    any suggestions or should I just fork out £250 plus for the x6 …I had corel 10 for years and years and it didnt give me this sort of grief…geezzzz… 😕 😕 😕

    I’m in sign business is the U.S. and couldn’t image using Adobe or the MAC as my mainstay, I’ve been in printing since 1975 and dumped both for my work, the MAC about 5 years ago and Adobe before that. I just kept them around to handle the files. I still have CS 5.5 for the PC but just for the file handling I never create with it bu thave no MACS at all.
