Jeanette,
I bought the set at the last ARA show. Great stuff.

Thanks, Chuck!
To all: to clarify my original post, these videos are brand new -- not included in the ARA Corel Tutorial CD set.
Now you know what daddy did after he finished Thanksgiving dinner! Mother & I headed out for the Cowboy game and we left daddy behind to "work on a few little projects".
This was one of those little projects!

Thanks for the link to these tutorials. They were great and I look forward to applying what I learned. Even though I have been using Corel Draw since version 8, there is so much to learn.
Many Thanks to Roy and Jeanette for sharing.

I just went through the "defaults" tutorial and everything seemed to work except when I open corel the text, nudge and duplicate distances revert back to the default instead of what I just changed it to. Any idea what I missed? (I have X3)
Thanks for the great tutorials, the merge tutorial helped me to create a ton of name badges that would have been a pain otherwise.

Gary,
I don't know what to suggest but I DO know who to ask! I'll forward this to daddy (Roy Brewer) and he'll have some thoughts for you by tomorrow AM.
Glad to hear we were able to help with your merge project!

Those distances will remain in the drawing, but the defaults will not change.
You must save the settings as defaults to make that happen. I am suddenly having a problem with Corel 9, in the same way. I think I need to save as the defaults and then immediately close Corel 9 for it to take.

Are these the same "new" tutorials that are advertised as being new uploads to the Premium Member section at World of Engraving?
Just curious.
Thanks and Happy New Year to all.

I believe under Tools, there's a "Save Setting As Default" option.

"Premium" member section? As in "paid" membership? I thought the idea of starting WOE was to make something that would be forever free, with all the benefits a paid membership somewhere else would have. So much for idealism, eh? The financial realities of having premium content in a forum seems to have hit home over there.

Since Laser Image asked at WOE and has yet to get an answer, I thought perhaps someone over here would know if they are the same tutorials that are available at EC.
Thanks for the reply,

Cutterfly,
Before Ken changed the World of Engraving Forum from an all-free format to a pay-for-the-added-features format, it appeared that most of the content was gathered from existing resources elsewhere, with a few brief CorelDRAW tutorials created by Ken.
Without a response directly from the source, it will be hard to know whether the content continues in this same linked format or whether there are some World of Engraving exclusives being offered for the premium area.
It does take time and resources to generate a steady flow of fresh valuable content.

Your assumptions are wrong......I do have a life and didn't realize I had an obligation to answer your questions within minutes of your posting.
The new additions are a combination of exclusive and non exclusive material. As was mentioned earlier, several things we have already completed will be added the first part of January.

No you do not have a responsibility to even answer it at all.
That being said, on this forum you have a responsibility to answer it in a bit more courteous fashion.

Gary,
I'm a bit puzzled by your inclusion of "text" since those defaults seem to stick very well; the nudge/DupeOffsets are a bit contrary.
Corel continues to modify the way defaults work and there are differences in each major version and often a patch will make a slight change; I'll try to make a very generic response that I think will work with all modern versions of Corel (9-x3).
For most reliable results:
--- exit out of Corel
---reRun corel
---create new empty document
---make your changes in defaults as the tutorial suggests. Then
---Tools>Save SettingsAs Defaults
---Tools>Options>Document
-------Save Settings as Defaults for New Documents
------------check *all* boxes then OK
---Immediately exit out of Draw
While the above appears to have some duplication, there are a few defaults "registered" by one save and missed by the other. Also, at least one version (is it 10?) that doesn't even have the Tools>Save SettingsAs Defaults option.
As Harvey pointed out, most of these values are what Corel calls "docucentric," so if you open an earlier document the values that were present when it was saved will dominate.
Understand that the whole process is Save Settings as Defaults for *new* documents.
Harvey mentioned having problems with 9. These are some things that are known to mess up your carefully created defaults:
---Shutting down Corel with a multitude of files in memory.
---Crashing Corel.
---Having multiple instances of Corel in memory
The real gurus suggest that you export your Workspace [[Tools>Options>Workspace>Export...]]]. While this saves/restores most of your environment there are a few important ones it does not, so that is not a complete solution.
For us, the real value of exporting/importing workspaces is to get all PCs to have most of the same settings.
