[Brian Michael clancy]

Hello. Can anyone tell me if I can open cdr. files in Vcarvepro? Or how can I convert them so that I can open them to look at? thanks, Brian

No experience with either program, but I found this: vectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=130462

When in corel export the file as a dxf then import the dxf into VCarve Pro. That's it...

I have had much better luck exporting the files as a eps instead of dxf from corel to Vcarve it holds the arcs and lines better and less nodes also

When exporting vectors from Corel Drawing as an EPS for Importing into Vectric software make sure your vectors are all Hairline (.001") and are not stretched or distorted. You can see this in the Outline Dialog box under the Calligraphy section, the Stretch should be 100%, the Angle should be 0, click the Default button to reset if they are not correct.
