− | First off, to get your design, just copy an image and paste it into CorelDraw just like you would if you were plagiarizing an essay. Measure the size of your material, and set the page in CorelDRAW to those dimensions. You can alter the dimensions of the page you are putting the image on, and even the image itself in the top left. If you want to keep the image dimensions consistent, but just scale it down, click the lock button to the right of these dimensions. If you want to make your own design using text, squares, circles, etc, you can find everything you need in the column on the far left of the client. | + | First off, to get your design, just copy an image and paste it into CorelDraw just like you would if you were plagiarizing an essay.

If you are wanting to cut out a 2D view from SolidWorks, say a Valve Plate, then orient the part to the way you want it cut (in SolidWorks), then save the file as a .dxf. You can open the file in CorelDRAW and it will show up the same way you had it oriented within SolidWorks. |
