I don't have X4 but I think all the other versions have map clip art. (well X3 doesn't)

[Steve Clarkson]

Mike, I have x4.......any idea where I would find the maps?

[Keith Outten]

Devon,

Here is a picture of our System Administrator Aaron Koehl in my shop vcarving an 8 by 4 foot USA map that we got from the Corel Draw 6 clip art page B255 file name usaflat.cdr. The clip art includes every state and a couple complete USA maps like this one. We made this one for a Harley Davidson biker that wanted to stick pins in the map at every location he had been on his bike.

We ran this job late at night...the night before it was promised as I recall. You can bet that Aaron had a cup of coffee right beside him while he was working up a sweat

Keith - when did he start sweating - reaching for the coffee? Looks like he's really working it at this angle... Must be the pocket grabbing that's causing the sweat... Maybe the brainpower extended. Actually, if I remember he's deep into studies right now - so he probably loved the break from the books...

Nice picture - someday I hope to have a big toy like that...

After checking my X3 and not finding it I would guess it's part of the clip art they've removed.

My best collection comes from version 8.

If you happen across an older version though the clip art files were quite extensive. The clip art will work with newer versions of windows though the program may not.

[Keith Outten]

Mike,

I keep the clipart from all of the Corel Draw upgrades I have purchased on my hard drive. The clip art is not the same with each version of Corel, obviously. I have version 5,6,10,12 and 13.

Stephen, I will admit the ShopBot is a big toy and more fun than any other I have in my shop. Its also a real workhorse and the software available these days has made it possible for old dogs to learn some new tricks

Just my luck to get stuck with x4........

Thanks for looking Mike.

While I don't advocated buying software on ebay due to serial number problems and fraud, I would encourage you to surf ebay or other sites in hopes you will find an old copy of Corel that includes the clip art CDs.

In this case, I do agree with Mike that Corel Draw 8 has a great collection of clip art. You cannot use 8 with the newer versions of Scrapbook, but you can easily set up ROMCAT to read the old versions using their pre-built catalogs.

Man I wish I had room for such a beast. I think I need a bigger house !

Mike,

Do you use Scrapbook alot? With x4 they mention that you can install it, but they don't really promote it.....so I have never used it.

[Dave Johnson29]

with the newer versions of Scrapbook

Huh, who knew. Scrapbook, I wondered what those other 2 CDs were for. I never even looked at the labels, I figured I would be asked to insert them when needed during the installation. I never got asked so just stuffed them back in the box after it installed figuring they were drivers I didn't need.

All this time a treasure trove has been sitting on the shelf.

Thanks Mike Chance in Iowa. (3 Vowels and a Consonant)

thanks that seems like it will work for me. as for clip art, i found a torrent for 8,9,10,11, and 12 that im downloading so if anyone knows what torrents are or wants it let me kow i guess

[Jerre Griffin]

If you are getting the software from a torrent, then it is just like taking your neighbors software and installing it on your computer.
