In you save as screen in Corel there is a drop down window that lets you select the file format version of the drawing. One thing that I have had trouble with when trying to insert the Corel into a project that has started is that Design Shop Pro+ seems to get confused and seems to try to vectorize existing bitmaps. My solution was to open the Corel draw file in a seperate project, digitize that portion and save. Then insert it as an embroidery file into my project. Hope this helps. I will post a neat trick about this in a seperate post. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
