is there a way to size the zoom in corel draw?
hi, when using corel 12, i often need to zoom in n out for when editing nodes or viewing the design / general layout duties, it’s something i’m sure we all do hundreds of times per drawing,
what’s really annoying me is when i’ve blown up a piccy to full scale, be it a shop or a vehicle, and i have to much of the vehicle in the window,ie i can’t see all of it, so i roll the wheel on the mouse back one click and it says it’s ‘minimum zoom level has exceeded the blah blah, so you click ok and the design goes way back to being tiny, it’ll just jump tween being big and then tiny when you click ok,
thing is, once it’s zoomed in once, and is too big, the amount of zoom it applies to each zoom step thereafter, is tiny compared to the first step, is there any way of adjusting this either within corel of the mouse set-up ?
ta.

Look to the bottom right hand corner of the window when zoomed you will see a white square below the down scroll arrow and the right scroll arrow, left click on this and you will be able to quickly navigate round your drawing. F3 will step you out – F4 will show all objects

HI Alan,
i just wondered if i might ask a couple more questions,
1, i’m trying to import an eps into corel12, when i do,it comes up in a small grey box saying ‘eps, ‘corel draw V10’, i know this has been asked on the board before, but i can’t find it !
2, the other question, if i import a scaled image, and know what the scale is, is there a simple way of changing the scale 1:1 ?
thanks mate.

aha, found the answer for No2,
just below the ‘eps’ choice on the drop down menu for the type of file you’re trying to import, there’s another showing ‘eps interpreted’ with a couple of other file types, use this and all is well !

that was question 1 Hugh 😉

Hugh …not sure I understand question 2……have you not got the scaleable % box next to the physical size of the job on the tool bar?….just lock the little padlock & type a value in the box…..scales up or down proportionately

lol, true, it was question 1 !
re the scle issue, no.. i can’t see that anywhere, doesn’t matter so much now though thanks, by importing as per question 1’s answer, it imports full scale. i was trying to import a scaled ai image,
thanks.

Just for future reference Hugh – X3 has a changed eps/ps import filter, it is just one filter now with the option for placed or interpreted in a dialogue box. Just incase you wanted to upgrade.
