andyajon Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I would love to see the addition of importing CorelDRAW files (.cdr) to Affinity Designer as I have a lot of those. lexislav and Busenitz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted July 31, 2014 Staff Share Posted July 31, 2014 I think Andy Somerfield is making our stance on file import quite clear here - if there's enough demand then we'll try our best - although one step at a time. Hopefully we're already quickly becoming one of the most compatible applications there is! :) Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

000 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks, Matt -- CDR import should be relatively easy and I'm sure you'll solve it one Friday. You just need to be aware that there are two file formats: the ,old' one (version 5 to 14) and the new one, based on XHTML and ZIP ((version 15 onwards) that comes wirh an entirely new text engine and new colour management. My suggestion is to do the ,new' format only -- Corel can open files from about 15 years back (v 5) and it's not very expensive to buy a version x5 (four years old), open older files and save them in the new format to be imported. The other way round (backsaving as version x4 from newer files) works nicely as well, but some of the text and the effects get jumbeled up occasionally; importing the new format is the saver way. andyajon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catlover Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 +1 for the CDR import function, but INCLUDING the "old" versions. The reason: Coreldraw for Mac was discontinued with version 11 (if I'm not mistaken). Ergo : By definition it's ONLY the older file type people have on file. 000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSkyRat Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hi Jens. but the whole point for us CorelDraw X4 (edit: on Win) and earlier users is not to have to buy the latest, just to save files. I wanna buy Affinity instead! LOL 000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busenitz Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Running CD X4 on VMWare Fusion, switched to Mac 6 months ago, would love to import my "old" files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
